Yeah, it's possible that the group who would buy gamepass arent the norm and they'd normally buy 10+ games. But even then, they'd have to be buying 10+ games a year within the gamepass library to be canabilizing sales.

Either way, they picked a really bad time given the state of the world to be raising prices by 50%.
