@theduckofdeath right… so why did they show them. Again these events are planned many months in advance. Nothing is shown that isn’t reviewed and approved. So it is on him.
Strange... doesn't he review what is being shown before it is shown? Doesn't he set the guidance of what should be shown? He's kinda the boss, I would think that what is shown ultimately falls on him.
@Would_you_kindly That isn't true - Gold is $10 a month and the console only GamePass is $10 a month. The difference is Gold is a waste of money. All they need to do is roll the MP of Gold into the base GP sub. Furthermore Gamepass is much cheaper when you consider you can buy 2-3 of Gold on CostCo and convert it to GamePass for $1.
@Would_you_kindly as opposed to having to pay for crap games, shrug. All they have to do is include the MP in GamePass at every level and it is covered. Or they could one up Sony and not charge for it.
This is true - because games have never been delayed... games have never needed massive day one patches, games have never sucked cause they were released too early as a result of corporate heads pushing product out.
@InterceptorAlpha beyond out of date - the console version is a15 and pc is at a20 approaching 21... with no updates planned on the console version. Crossplay would ensure that they actually care about the console version rather than it having just been a quick money grab years ago.
The console version is seriously out of date - like a15 compared to a20 on PC. Unless they add cross play I would not consider the xbox version, even if they did release an update, without crossplay there is no assurance they would release another update in the next five years if ever. On the PC this game is worth checking out.
@LX_FENIX Some people are missing out. Fun fact... you can still buy games when you have GamePass, for instance I just this week bought Tiny Tina's Wonderland. Another fun fact, should the game you are playing leave GamePass you get a discount at that point should you buy it. Another fun fact, it is third party games that occassionally leave GamePass.
@GunValkyrian Nonsense - maybe your expectations are too high. There are so many games that I have to manage what is on my console even with the 1TB expansion upgrade. Gamepass is game rich alone, not to mention the games I have purchased.

Re: Redfall Will Be 'Story-Driven' With A 'Rich Narrative', Says Arkane
So more far cry or division and less back 4 blood? If so that is great news.

@Ashadelo not out yet, purchase of activision blizzard is not complete?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With June 2022's Xbox Games With Gold?
Gold was cool when the 360 was. Now it is a sad joke. Like a tax that never goes away even when obsolete.

Re: Xbox Games With Gold Quietly Adds Another Free Game (May 2022)
Gold needs to be put down already. Th horse has been beaten enough.
Re: Gearbox Is Growing With '9 AAA Games' In Development
@S1ayeR74 True, although that first DLC killed the buzz for me; haven't logged in since it dropped.

Re: Sony CFO Says That Game Pass-Style Launches Would Cause Exclusives To 'Deteriorate'
It would deminish that sweet $70 a game pay day that is for sure.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Issues Statement In Response To Starfield And Redfall Delays

Re: Certain Changes Are Proving Unpopular In Halo Infinite Season 2
Annoyed that they are asking for more money before fixing the issues - I am close to removing it, it is taking up space.

Re: Report Suggests Ubisoft Could Be 'The Next Big Gaming Acquisition'
Both Blackstone and KKR would be terrible. KKR. Ugh.
Re: World Of Warcraft Dev Shatters Hopes With Comment About Xbox Version
Blizzard is always so lazy... hopefully the acquisition puts some fire under their butts.
On the other hand Elder Scrolls Online is better anyway.
Re: Outriders On Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Huge Expansion This June
@uptownsoul if it follows the normal - then you would be able to purchase the original at a discount.
Re: Former PlayStation Exec Thinks Xbox Would Have Made COD Exclusive 10 Years Ago
Playstation/ Sony would today. Without hesitation. No one would even doubt it.

@LX_FENIX On GamePass day one... so why preorder - I will pre-load it though.

Tiny Tina’s and loving it.
Re: 'Valuable Lessons' Have Been Learned For The Next Battlefield, Says Report

Re: Bethesda Is 'Dedicated' To Updating Fallout 76, Five-Year Roadmap Planned
It is fun and then suddenly it becomes a chore - really not interested in a second job.
Re: Xbox Insider Update Removes Social Media Sharing, For Now
@OliverOwen Agree 100%
Rather have a useful button - maybe make it so you can assign it to something else.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Bought An Xbox Series X|S Expansion Card Yet?
I bought it with the console. Figure the longer I have the additional space the more the value over the life of the console.

Xbox is 3rd. There is healthy competition. Not a monopoly.
Re: Phil Spencer "Wouldn't Take No For An Answer" When Creating Xbox Game Pass
I don’t even want physical media. It is all just clutter. One big plus for me with the series X is also how understated it is.
Re: Gamers Warned To 'Choose Console Carefully' By Retailer After Xbox Activision Deal

Re: Sony Acquiring Bungie For $3.6 Billion, Studio Will Remain Multiplatform
@GADG3Tx87 If Sony accepts GamePass on PS then yeah I would expect GamePass games on the PS... I just can't see Sony accepting that.
