Sony's Jim Ryan stated that publishers unanimously dislike Xbox Game Pass because they consider it "value destructive." The fear is that if customers consume most of their content through a subscription service, they may be less inclined to purchase titles that are not included. Ryan also expressed surprise at the subscriber count of Xbox Game Pass and suggested that growth may have plateaued.
