Xbox Game Pass Is Losing One of This Century's Greatest RPGs, But It Doesn't Need It Anymore Anyway

Contrary to popular belief, the best marketing strategy can sometimes be just letting people play your game for free. It may sound counterproductive, but subscription services like Xbox Game Pass have proved this strategy to be successful over and over again. Spending money on an unfamiliar IP seems to be way less likely than clicking the download button on a game that's already included in a subscription anyway; it just eliminates a lot of the mental gymnastics that usually come with spending money.
