…because Sony and Nintendo didn’t want this competing service on their platforms. I doubt that will ever change.
I could still see GP show up on iOS devices at some point.
It was clear the messaging took a week because there was probably a lot of in-fighting between MS leadership and the Xbox team. The Xbox team managed to convince MS leadership that having a console identity is important. At least in the short term, this isn’t over by a long shot.
Since I cannot get a 12 month GP sub at a reduced average monthly cost any longer, I'm switching to GP console beginning this month. I want the games and don't really care about online play. I will also be losing my EA games as a result. It stinks, but I can live with it.
I picked up the alpha of Besiege a couple of years ago and it’s a blast, literally sometimes. If you ever want to see just how amazing the build system is, even during the early alpha stages, check out videos from Aber Lichthausengof . They are all old but still amazing creations.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With December 2021's Xbox Games With Gold?
No complaints here. Will play 3 out of 4 of these, a good scorecard in my book.
Re: EA Is Shutting Down Skate 2's Online Servers, And It Just Joined Xbox's Backwards Compatibility Program
People are worried about a live server for Skate 2 still? It was released in 2009, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable occurrence.

Re: Xbox's Comments About 'Gatekeeping' Are Met With Heavy Criticism
@misterfpga Sony didn’t put out a tweet condemning it, Xbox did. You can’t be hypocritical if you never state it. Xbox did, that’s the point.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Demand Leads To 16% Increase In Gaming Revenue For Microsoft
