Game Pass has been a success for Microsoft since it launched in 2017, but a former Microsoft executive has voiced concerns about its potential impact on the gaming industry.
“When Spotify took off it destroyed the music business, it literally cut the annual revenue of the music business in half,” the former Microsoft exec said.“People don’t buy songs on iPhone for example, because why would you? They’re all on your subscription service app." "I saw the games industry destroy itself in the early 80s. I saw the educational software business destroy itself in the mid-90s - they literally destroyed a multi-billion dollar market in a few years!"
'Halo Infinite' was added to Game Pass on day one, helping it become the biggest launch in series history
