Yep, I imagine it can be hard for companies to evaluate if they'll make money on Xbox when Game Pass seems to slaughter your sales on the system. Essentially the decision is down to how much MS will offer for Game Pass appearance if your game isn't MTX orientated. Must be hard to pre-emptively guess which of the two options will bring back the most money.

This is what MS would like, though, when you think about it - to be the kingmaker on their own platform.
GamePass is another way of making them everyone's publisher.
Who already does what? A lot of developers do DLC for games and therefore are incentivised to put them on GP in order to create a bigger addressable market?
If that's what you mean, yeah, you're totally right.
I guess what I had in my head was more the bull**** gem purchasing/lootbox type of DLC. What I meant is that I'm assuming Microsoft will only ever want a limited number of games on GP that offer this type of MTX, since it's hardly a great look to have the service full of them.
SouljaBoy (the rapper that some time ago started a line of consoles that were actually chinese knock-off systems bought from Alibaba and resold) has published a video stating he owns Atari.
Wade Rosen, CEO of Atari, disagrees.
I've never heard about the guy before he started to sell consoles, so maybe (well, scratch the maybe) he's trying to get some attention.
Or, who knows, someone sold him "Atari Company Holdings Co.Ltd. Totally Not Fake" and he thinks he's bought Atari, Inc. or Atari SA.
