Discussions about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game Pass typically revolve around the big titles like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Ops 6, Starfield and𒅌 more, but one solo dev ඣhas detailed why the service is such a good thing for indie games like theirs. 

During a recent , Thomas Sala, the solo developer behind indie gems 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Falconeer and Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, was asked to give his opinion on Xbox's Game Pass model. ෴The Falconeer, Sala's first title,ꦜ made its way onto Game Pass around a year after its initial release, and thanks to the attention it garnered there, he to be featured on the service again. 

"I'd be on Game Pass the moment 💎they could fit me in, no questions asked," Sala begins. "Falconeer did about a million installs on Game Pass." He goes on to explain that, for him, making games is not about 🌜the money, and Game Pass was a great way for him to reach a new audience. "I'm a dev, I fucking want players, [I] don't care about the money, let folks play!"

Unfortunately, as Sala notes, getting your game onto Game Pass is not in the hands of developers or publishers, explaining that "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft carefully curates Game Pass with a regular release cadence. If your game fits the schedule and meets expectations and you have signalled you're open to making a deal, Micro🌳soft might offer you a slot.❀"

That being said, Sala is still positive about the service and believes that for developers lucky enough to be given a slot, it can be hugely beneficial. "These things are up to the gods in Redmond and if you get in it's generally a v🐠ery positive thing for a dev, especially in indie. They are more than fair in compensation and you get a huge audience."
