John Romero, co-founder of id Software, endorses Microsoft's Game Pass, describing it as beneficial for both players and game developers. During an interview, he likened Game Pass to Netflix, emphasizing its role in reducing barriers to game access. Romero argues that it helps players discover new titles without a financial commitment, fostering wider engagement with video games. He suggests that availability on Game Pass does not necessarily injure sales for game companies, citing instances where new releases maintained strong performance despite being on the service.
I love it," said Romero. "I mean, who doesn't love Game Pass? It's Netflix for games; who doesn't want that? It's great because it's try before you buy... one thing after another thing.
Romero went on to add that Game Pass "doesn't hurt the game companies that made those games," because players get to experience titles more quickly even if they don't keep them.
