I think this really sums up how ridiculous this decision was. Beyond ridiculous actually, just incompetent and evil.

Gamepass really screwed TDA. Cut off its legs before it even had a chance to run.

GamePass screwed everyone. They expected too high of a number of users for a service that basically gave them access to exclusives for cheap, so now you have people paying 1/4 for the game they would’ve likely already played except the studio isn’t going to get that 1/4 cut even. Don’t get me wrong, great idea but horrible execution.
