Raphael Colantonio, founder of Arkane Studios and director of games such as Dishonored, Prey, and Dark Messiah, has publicly criticized Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service. He described Game Pass as an "unsustainable model" that is "damaging the industry," asserting that it can only persist due to Microsoft's extensive financial resources. Colantonio's comments came in the wake of recent layoffs at Microsoft, highlighting concerns about the long-term viability of the subscription model within the gaming industry.
