Support NeoGAF

[FoxMcChief]

Don't support devs.

 

[FeralEcho]

Pirate it.

Spoiler

Buy the game. Game Pass helps MS more than the dev.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Ask Phil.

When chatgpt tells you gamepass "it's not nothing" you know you fucked up.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud: Some people feel guilty about using Game Pass, but hot damn, if it's not the best deal in gaming. So people shouldn't. In fact, they need to be cynical about it:

Phil should be thrilled reading these types of comments

The dev took the money from Microsoft. It ends there with your support for them...by playing it on Gamepass.
Buy it otherwise if it bothers your conscience.

 

[Crayon]

Get a month of gamepass, play only their game, then cancel. That'll show em.

 

[DanielG165]

What would you be "supporting", exactly? Lol, the devs already got their money from Microsoft or whatever publisher they're under.

 

[Idleyes]

If you want to support developers, support a gamer! I'm happy to announce that I'm now accepting donations, and I'll make sure your money goes to the developers who truly deserve it.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Ask Phil.

Why is he getting paid again?

 

[yurinka]

If I want to support a developer, do I need to buy the game or is downloading it on GamePass enough?

If they announced that the game is included in GP, MS will already have payed them for doing so, and the extra money they'll get for the generated engament there will be minimal.

Devs get way more money per player when you buy the game. And when buying a game, the dev gets a way bigger percentage of what you pay when the game is sold digitally.

And obviously, you send them more money if you buy it when full priced and specially if you get -in case of available- some digital deluxe edition or DLC too.

I don't know that do you mean by 'THPS3+4', but if it's a MS published game, you'd send more money to MS by buying it on a MS (on Xbox or Windows), because by buying it on a rival platform as could be PSN or Steam a percentage of the money would go to the company of that store.

TLDR: You support more the devs by buying a full priced digital version, particularly if a special edition or getting DLC. And if it's a game of a company with a game store, buying it on their own store helps them more than buying it elsewhere.

Xbox Communism Pass - "From each game dev according to his ability, to each game dev according to his needs"

They all share the money. Uncle Phil gives "credit" to whoever is kissing that ass and probably his buddies. It's arbitrary. It's all one big pool of woke you are purchasing with gamepass. You aren't supporting shit but Microshaft.

You only rent planes, boats, and women. Man up gents.
