minus-squareKatana314@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoI will avoid giving Microsoft my money where possible, but I’m not going to oppose indie developers taking their money. It just means their game trailers get an “Available with Game Pass” logo which I swiftly ignore.

If the choice is between releasing on GP or not releasing at all, I don’t begrudge them for taking the deal.
