They could probably just choose x amount of titles each year matching the amount MS releases and sell the rest of their games normally.
But I'd say they could do lot with just getting some thirdparty day one stuff and their backcatalouge. I don't think either have to match 1:1, it's not like people wouldn't subscribe to plus just because Gamepass was better in some areas, as long as they have some good stuff to offer. And there's a hell of a lot more to ...
It seems a bit early to judge Ps+ tiers when we haven't seen the lineup and Sonys plans for monthly updates. What if for instance they offered all third party games day 1, but not Sony exclusives, would it still be less of a gamechanger?
Not that I think that that would happen, but the thing is, we don't know how they plan to approach day 1 stuff aside from first party titles.

What's sony offering this month? A well liked platformer, one of the best deckbuilders since dominion and some online game for ps5. Could defineitely be worse.
MGS collection used to be there as well (on Now)
Hrot!
Wrath, if it ever leaves early access.
Yeah, I'd argue fps games are better now than ever. Dusk is just so damn good. Been playing Arthurian Legends recently and that has become an instant classic to me.
If atleast we could get a log of notes related the quest, like a journal or something.
Slay the spire is pretty amazing, give it a chance!

It's worth noting that Sony could release third party games day 1. They started doing this recently with Shadow Warriror 3. Dunno why people assume they won't. So maybe we won't get God of war day 1, but of they release a bunch of indie games and perhaps Forspoken or something day 1, then that's not too bad?
Highly doubt it, Rowling isn't even involved in the game, the team distanced themselves from her a while back.
The problem is that a huge part of HP' fanbase is made up of LGBTQ+ people and she kinda decided to go against them after years of making weird decisions and failed attempts at being woke (like pretending that Hermione is black and Dumbledore gay for instance while not including any of this in the books.).
I'm not about to boycut HP. but I'm not a fan of J.K. Rowling. Shitty opinions aside she' also the one who made it canon that old wizards quite possibly shits their pants instead of using the toilet and she made Voldemorts pet snake into a circus performer who is quite possibly Voldemorts mother. Also she invented "Can't spells". She must be stopped.
Is it a clone if it predates Gamepass? It's basically a cheaper version of Now with more backing from sony.
Haven't tried the sequel yet, the first game could have been great with another direction. The controls are pretty good and combat is fun but it's a shame that they made it into a beat'em up, could have worked really well as a 3D platformer. I also think the abilities are pretty insignifikant.
Nah, it's shit and could easily be improved.
A less cluttered ui without crashes and hangups would be nice. The 360 had a good layout, wonder how they got from that to Series X. It's a mess. I guess I'll get used to it at some point, just feels a bit cluttered and heavy. Not what I had expected.
It probably just ends up giving other companies opportunities. There's a gap where Bethesda used to be that could be potentially filled by other third party publishers and when Ms buys EA and ubisoft, there's a lot of room for new stuff to happen. Might even be a good thing, a changing of the guard.
Deadly premonition did it first, flies gathered around the main character if he forgot to bathe and his beard needed regular shavings.
Not neccedarily enough to cover losses. I think you would usually hope that the exposure converts to sales. In this case it might have backfired.
Personally I would have bought it day one, but I didn't. Probably weren't going to sell 4 million, but if for instance 1/2 a million of the 4 were people like me, that's a ton of money lost.
