《极限竞速：地平线5》总监认为[Xbox] Game Pass概念虽好，但最终失败导致大规模裁员
Summary
《极限竞速：地平线5》创意总监Mike Brown近日在接受采访时谈到了Xbox Game Pass策略。他在2023年离开微软旗下的Playground Games后，目前正在开发开放世界赛车游戏《Clutch》。Brown认为，Game Pass的初衷是好的，为用户提供了极高的价值，但最终却因执行上的问题导致微软陷入困境，成为当前大规模裁员的诱因之一。他指出，Game Pass的商业模式可能无法持续，尤其是在高成本3A大作上。尽管前任Xbox负责人Phil Spencer大力推广Game Pass，但新任负责人Asha Sharma已开始调整方向，并为此付出了裁员代价。Brown的观点引发了业界对订阅制服务未来可行性的讨论。
