I don't think a single publisher platform has any future, AAA games are taking longer and longer to make, there's no benefit to stay subbed when you can go months without a new game, compared to gamepass that has deals with other devs and publishers so there's new things to play every month.

I already saved a lot of money just by playing cocoon, jusant and like a dragon Gaiden in the last months since games in Brazil are 10x more expensive than a gamepass sub, and can't wait for the Persona 3 Remake.
