I think it’s more, “Yeah but people will love our game anyway”, but at this point it makes little difference. XD

...maybe I’m confused, but what’s the second system being mashed up?

And would be 100% more accurate, yes, as now it covers the not-uncommon situation of people not being subscribed to Gamepass already.
