Microsoft has no taste. They don’t know what makes a good studio or a good game. It’s clear by now with over twenty years in the industry. They have a ridiculous bank account and can’t even buy good taste. Every company they’ve bought, so far, hasn’t been improved by the purchase. It remains to be seen what happens with Bethesda or Activision, but so far all I’m seeing is forced exclusively because they can’t make anything themselves.
GamePass is their attempt to buy the market through guaranteed subscriptions where individual game quality doesn’t matter. Good not great is their bread and butter.
