PlayStation-chef Jim Ryan har i forbindelse med Microsofts sag mod FTC udtalt, at ikke bare er Xbox Game Pass "value destructive", stort set samtlige udgivere kan ikke lide modellen.
Det vides ikke om hvorvidt synes det eller ej, da vi ikke har adgang til konkrete udtalelser fra disse udgivere i forbindelse med sagen, der erklærer sig enige, men studiet bag Football Manager-serien, Sports Interactive, er dog ikke med på at tjenesten er "value destructive".
I en meddelelse til Eurogamer fortæller Sports Interactive-chef Miles Jacobson, at han slet og ret er uenig med Ryan:
"Every studio is going to have different opinions on this, and different studios will have different data, because different games work well in different situations. For us, it's nothing but positive on all three platforms. We run quite a tight ship, and I like our studio to be profitable. Sega took a big gamble on us all those years ago, and their shareholders - however weird it might sound - should be rewarded for that. So we don't tend to do deals that are bad for any parts of the business. The simple fact is Game Pass and Apple Arcade have brought new people to the franchise that never played it before. I'm confident enough in our games to believe we will now have those consumers for a long time, whatever platforms we're on."
Om hvorvidt det forholder sig sådan for alle, eller sågar størstedelen, er svært at sige.
