A couple of weeks ago on Constellation, me (Colin!) and friend-of-the-show David Jaffe (gaming luminary) got into a brief conversation that broached a popular topic: GamePass. As to not further sidetrack an already raucous episode, we said we'd 'deal' with that topic at another time and in another venue. Well, this is that other time and different venue. So, here's the rub: Instead of bombarding you with my arguments about Xbox's subscription service, which you all well-know, I thought I'd let Jaffe take the wheel and present to you his side, one that's very supportive of the idea of a high-quality GamePass-like offering (albeit not necessarily one from Microsoft). Once he lays out why he thinks subscriptions and games go together like peanut butter and jelly, we go into the weeds and hash it all out: Creativity, economy, player habits, the culture of entertainment, and so much more. Through this lens, I was able to make my arguments, and he his, all while -- and here's the important part! -- keeping it civil, fun, and productive. Something tells me you're gonna love this episode. Please enjoy.
