Arkane Studios might now be an Xbox-owned studio, but its original founder has expressed concerns about the impacts that Xbox Game Pass is having on the industry.
Raphael Colantonio founded the developer behind imsim heavyweights like Dishonored, Prey, the failed Redfall, and the upcoming Marvel’s Blade decades ago, before the studio was eventually sold to Microsoft as part of its Bethesda acquisition, meaning it’s now another gear in the megacorp’s subscription service strategy.
But Colantonio recently tweeted Game Pass “is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade, subsidized by MS’s ‘infinite money’, but at some point reality has to hit.” His main concern is that he doesn’t think Game Pass can “co-exist with other models” since the service will “either kill everyone else, or give up,” which would inevitably lead to more Xbox studio closures.
