Former head of PlayStation says Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass is "dangerous" because "big companies dictate what games can be created," and he could not be more wrong

Attendees walk past Microsoft Corp. Xbox Game Pass signage.

In an interview with GameDeveloper, the former head of PlayStation, Shuei Yoshida, had plenty to say about the climate of gaming subscriptions. Pointed readily at Game Pass, he took aim at the potential wall a gaming subscription can create for third-party creators.

"If the only way for people to play games is through subscriptions, that's really dangerous because what type of games can be created will be dictated by the owner of the subscription services," Yoshida said.
