"If the only way for people to play games is through subscriptions, that's really dangerous because what [type] of games can be created will be dictated by the owner of the subscription services."
"Sony's approach is "healthier" as the company only adds first-party releases to its PlayStation Plus service after they've been on the market for a certain amount of time."
In a recent interview, former PlayStation Studios head Shuhei Yoshida raised concerns about subscription services for video games. He warned that an over-reliance on these models could marginalize third-party developers, allowing subscription owners to dictate the types of games produced. Yoshida praised Sony's strategy of adding first-party games to PlayStation Plus after their initial release period, allowing for greater exposure post-sales. In contrast, Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass strategy prioritizes day-one releases, which has sparked a debate about the future of creativity and diversity in the gaming landscape.
