steam game pass??? it wouln't happen the most they can do it's putting xbox game pass on steam like they did with ea access

[Cathulhu]

Valve can not do that.
Only Microsoft can put the xbox game pass on Steam.

Just like EA did with EAPlay.

edit:
Like your said in your other thread. Please, don't spread misinformation.

Lame pass is just a rental system and an awful one at that! Steam does better then fine with their sales,i have so many games i do not need a service with a limited amount of base games. All those rental services are horrible.

Which is why i have a subscription to Humble Choice.
I get to keep those games, forever. They are not rentals.

Until that question is answered, you can't get to when.

Because MS Game Pass is extremely attractive and popular. And the prospect of other stores offering something similar isn't wholly unreasonable.

Well that was an easy one...

Just because something exists somewhere else doesn't mean it can be replicated elsewhere that makes it viable.

That would be (if anything) a "Valve Pass"

Last february Gabe Newell said in an interview that Valve isn't interested in doing a subscription service. They are, however, interested in helping Microsoft bring Gamepass to Steam.

So to answer the question: not anytime soon.

[my new friend]

“I don't think it's something that we think we need to do ourselves, building a subscription service at this time. But for their customers it's clearly a popular option, and we'd be more than happy to work with them to get that on Steam."

I would agree, not any time soon. And it's not like the door is for game subscriptions is only open for the rest of this year or anything. And if the rise of video streaming services can be used as example, there's more than enough time and opportunity for Valve to change course when and if it seems like subscription services are the way to go.

I think they're the future. But people will still want to buy games too.

And honestly as is, if I am playing a game on GamePass and it goes off subscription and I was going to buy it to finish it. I almost certainly would buy it from Steam over MS for the time being. GamePass is great, but I don't love the MS Game Store.

I think it's hard for people to really grasp how big the gaming pie is too sometimes. Which sometimes leads people to believe every new player, new service, or evolution in the industry is a dire threat Valve has to respond to.

No that's not the question. The question eeds answering properly. Namely why Valve would need this at their current contiuingly profitable status. That's the point.
