“Now, I have to say, putting these games into a subscription service immediately upon their release would break this virtuous circle, and we wouldn’t be able to invest in the way that we’re currently able to. So we’re not doing it.”

What are your thoughts on this situation? Do you agree by what Jim Ryan said?
