Arkane founder calls Game Pass an 'unsustainable model' that's wrecking the industry


Arkane founder Raphael Colantonio isn't mincing words about Game Pass. He calls it an "unsustainable model" that's "damaging the industry."

Arkane Studios founder Raphael Colantonio had some harsh words for Game Pass in a thread on X, calling it an "unstainable model" that's "damaging the industry." He also wrote that these same players will turn on the platform when "they realize the effects on the games," alluding that the Netflix-style approach allows for underwhelming titles. While there's no evidence that the subscription-based catalog service contributed to the job cuts, there is some data that suggests Game Pass hurts the sales numbers of titles under its umbrella.
