Former Producer: Xbox Game Pass 'Extremely Poorly Managed,' Doom Should Not Have Been Included

Former id Software producer Andrew Willis said Game Pass is 'extremely poorly managed' and that Doom: The Dark Ages should not have been part of the subscription. He said Microsoft never defined success metrics, and over 2 million of the 3 million launch players were on Xbox.
