Games like GTA 5, Red Dead Online and Borderlands 3 are quite in subscription services such as the Game Pass or PlayStation NOW. Directly to Launch Publisher Take-Two wants to offer their franchises but only for a full price, as company boss Strauss Zelnick announced in a financial report (via Gamespot).
Take-Two wants certain game types
According to Zalnick, take the portfolio of Take-Two not to the practice of publishing games directly on the day of publication in a subscription service. The publisher focuses mainly on large productions that require good sales to replay the production costs.
"We think a subscription model can make sense for old games from the library. But it is not really useful for flagship titles. With every business model in the entertainment industry, it must fit the creators of entertainment as well as for consumers. "
Comparison with Netflix lags: The comparison for the Game Pass is Netflix or other streaming services for series and films. However, this could not compare them to each other according to the tone thick because it is a linear medium handle, but in Games by the consumers, however, it is intervened.
"Consumers of linear entertainment see about 150 hours a month. These are probably over 100 different productions. Interactive entertainment consumers come about 45 hours a month, and that are one, two, three, four titles. But certainly no 100 titles. From the point of view of the consumer, the subscription model does not necessarily offer an advantage, at least for the masses. "
summarized: Take-two produces games to consume over months and years. And when Gamers really prescribe a title like GTA online, not much time stays for other games.
Opinion can change: Nevertheless, Zelnick does not want to exclude anything for the future. The gaming market is dynamic and can change quickly. An GTA 6 in the Game Pass is still very unlikely.

How much is the Game Pass worthwhile?
It is obvious that the holders of subscription and streaming services is currently about taking a large amount of cake as much as possible before the market is flooded. For this reason, the one or the other subsidy is probably accepted.
According to Microsoft, however, people with a Game pass subscription do not give less money than others, but more. These include probably the monthly fee, additional purchases as well as associated DLCs, which are often not included in Game pass games.
