How do you feel about smaller developers benefiting from the exposure provided by Xbox Game Pass?

Xbox Game Pass has given many smaller developers a platform to showcase their games to a larger audience. Do you think this exposure has been beneficial for them, or do you feel it has drawbacks, such as less revenue or a reliance on subscriptions rather than direct sales?

It's definitely beneficial for visibility, but I worry about revenue challenges for smaller devs. Finding the right balance is crucial!

Game Pass has created a viable pathway for indies that might otherwise drown in the digital storefront deluge. Games like Tunic and Death's Door found audiences through curation and discoverability that pure retail struggles to provide. However, we should watch carefully how sustainable these developer payments remain as the service evolves.
