السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
في تصريح جديد له مع مجلة Variety المتخصصة في الفن، تحدث فل سبنسر عن خدمة الجيم باس الشهيرة، وقال أنه يظن أنها لا تناسب الجميع، فهؤلاء الذين يلعبون لعبة أو لعبتين كل سنة فقط، سيكون أنسب لهم أن يشتروا هذه الألعاب، ولكن هؤلاء الذين يسعون لتجربة أكبر عدد ممكن من الألعاب كل سنة، ستكون الخدمة موفرة لهم.
يأتي هذا في ظل توسع مايكروسوفت في وقطاع ألعابها “إكس بوكس” في المجال الخدمات والاشتراكات، ومحاولة جعله أساس عملهم.
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has further discussed Xbox Game Pass, saying the subscription service is "not for everybody," and that if every Game Pass subscriber canceled their membership and decided to buy games outright instead, that would be good for Microsoft as well.
"It's not for everybody. If you play one or two games a year, Game Pass probably isn't the right business model for you; you should just buy those two games, and that would make total sense," he said. "But I want you to have the choice. So we remain focused on everything that's on Game Pass is also available to buy."
Many have wondered about the economic realities of Game Pass, and while Spencer didn't get into that, he said the number of total hours people are playing on Xbox "continues to grow fairly substantially," in part due to Game Pass. "Game Pass has been an important part of that, but I don't try to solve for Game Pass specifically on its own. It's kind of part of the equation for Xbox finding new players," he said.
Also in the interview, Spencer said the video game console business is "good," but it's an "established" market sector that is "not really a growing segment in gaming," at least not for Microsoft. As such, Spencer said that's why you're seeing Microsoft invest in and support PC and cloud as much as it is.
"There isn't a unique need for Game Pass to be the only way for people to play. If everybody who's a Game Pass subscriber instead decided to buy their games, that's good for the business as well."
