    Xbox’s subscription service didn’t stop Bethesda’s RPG from dominating sales charts last month

    The myth being that game pass nukes sales.

        The suggestion they’d like you to take is that Game Pass spreads enough word of mouth to help or otherwise not harm sales.

            Eh, not really. Game Pass does have a lot of value in it; it’s not the way I want to engage with games, but it makes sense for both Microsoft and customers. It’s just not the proof that this headline posits it to be when you use a game guaranteed to sell millions of copies.
