Rockstar parent company doesn’t think subscription services such as EA Play are the future.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking during a call to investors, Take-Two president, Karl Slatoff, said while the firm remains open-minded, it’s “highly skeptical”  subscriptions such as Xbox Game Pass will be the “primary way that interactive entertainment is distributed.”<\/p>\n

“We’re highly skeptical that subscriptions will be the only way or the primary way “highly skeptical”  subscriptions such as Xbox Game Pass that interactive entertainment is distributed,” said Slatoff.<\/p>\n

“And that’s because of the way people consume it. And the price point for owning a title, which is very reasonable and very, very low, actually, on a per hour basis.<\/p>\n

“So I think it’s unlikely that subscription sort of plants from my video game, failed as the primary business model. Subscriptions can play a role in delivering catalog. We’ve supported numerous subscriptions, subscription offerings with catalog titles, I imagine we’ll continue to do so. And in any case, at the end of the day, the consumer will decide and we will be where the consumer is.”<\/p>\n

Game services such as Xbox Game Pass and EA Play are doing rather well for Microsoft and Electronic Arts, respectively.<\/p>\n

Xbox Game Pass currently has over 15 million subscribers<\/a>, and in its recent call to investors, EA announced its service has 6.5 million paid subscribers.<\/p>\n
