Ori Studio Head Says Game Pass Would Have Worked if Xbox Could “Understand What’s a Good Game”

He criticized Xbox's first-party output, citing Starfield as an example of a game that failed to meet the potential of its predecessor, and suggested that Xbox leadership needs a better understanding of what constitutes a "good game" to truly connect with gamers.
