In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Football Manager boss Miles Jacobson expressed his positive experience with subscription services, including Xbox Game Pass. This directly contradicts the claims made by PlayStation boss Jim Ryan during his testimony in the FTC vs Microsoft trial. Ryan stated that “all the publishers unanimously do not like Game Pass because it is value destructive.”
Jacobson’s comments provide a different perspective, particularly for the studio that owns Football Manager. He emphasizes that the success of a game on a subscription service can vary depending on the game itself. For Football Manager, the service has been nothing but positive on all three platforms.
Jacobson further explains that his studio focuses on profitability and avoiding deals that are detrimental to any part of the business. This stance contrasts with Ryan’s assertion that Microsoft is losing money on the Game Pass business model.
Even Microsoft has acknowledged that Xbox Game Pass impacts game sales. Game industry research firm DFC Intelligence suggests that while Game Pass generates substantial revenue, it may not be sustainable in the long run.
