Arkane Studios Founder Rafael Colantonio Critiques Game Pass Subscription Model

The founder of Arkane Studios, **Raphaël Colantonio**, has **criticized** the Game Pass subscription service. His remarks were made on social media against the backdrop of significant layoffs at **Microsoft**.

The developer believes that Game Pass is detrimental to the entire gaming industry. He highlighted that this model of game distribution relies on **Microsoft’s** «endless money» and that it cannot coexist with direct video game sales.

Colantonio also expressed his frustration with Microsoft’s representatives who insist that Game Pass does not affect game sales. He is convinced that users are purchasing significantly fewer titles due to the availability of games through the subscription service.
