@Banjo- yeh the old Microsoft can't afford to make starfield exclusive as they won't make money etc etc ,the problem is when there are rumours ppl just jump at em like it's gospel and everyone becomes a genius on business lmfao
@MrMagic it all started on twitter ,this is the thing one person says so then everyone else jumps on the bandwagon I heard that too etc etc
which only reinforces the original bs cause they don't want to say no I haven't heard that in case it turns out to b true and they miss out on clicks , look how many games have been mentioned in the last few days that are going to nin/ps ,they even got posts saying halo is going etc
When ms comes out and says so then Ill accept it until then we are going To hear every game possible is going To ps/Nintendo
Look at my post above with the link for hifi rush ,ppl are saying it's real cause I read it etc no, I've read Elvis lives down the street it don't make it true lol
Edit oh and if it turns out to be not true how much u wanna bet the next headline will be oh Xbox changed their mind due to fan feedback ?
@Phantasystar77 if you actually look at the Australian board website the page Ur talking about is from 2022 and that site also has a page for redfall on ....USB and SD card lmao
50 to 100 . Non physical , more dlc to games ,I've gotten so much dlc now I can't keep up to what I own and what I dont , it's like a suprise everytime I run a game and see I've already gotten the dlc lol
They have always done things random with ppl , from the pwf quests to the start /bing stuff ,I think they love to Create confussion ,sit back and watch the ppl get in a tizzy wondering why them and not others , but it will get to everyone soon like all the rest of the stuff
Not a problem with them doing that for ppl who don't sub BUT waiting for cloud game has been awful since starfield come out , sort the service for the ppl who pay and don't just add on these free users that will bog the system down more
It threw me when it was discovered that they didn't own the trademark to the games name a few years after development started , what compamy doesn't check these things out before they come up with a name ???
@Moby it's not cheating the system , it's not like Microsoft don't make money off the rewards
They make money off selling our data
Make money with investors as they can say we have so many users
They make money adding websites to their search
They make money keeping ppl in the Xbox brand
Edit : also ppl use rewards to pay for GP , which the more users they get the more attractive it looks to games companies for putting Thier games on the service
Another example is the EA games that are in sale today , even though they are included with gp , a hell of a lot of ppl will go an buy em , ms makes Thier money off the sale ,so a consumer is not only paying for GP but also buying the games that are on gp and some users will use their reward points so they are getting money consumers every way
Kinect was given up.on way too soon for me so many things I'd have liked to see on kinect , microsoft should at least give us some Vr titles ,I love playing on the Xbox via my quest but I need games that will take advantage of that actual vr ,it wouldn't take much to have a game turned into a vr title ,ffs modders did it with alien isolation etc etc and they don't have lots of staff and lots of money behind em
212,239 at the moment , I don't know what I will use them on but most prob games later down the line nothing that I don't own that I want at the moment apart from RoboCop but waiting for a sale cause it's a once complete never touch again till dlc
@Gloki_junior ner the pwf will go next it makes sense ,they moving stuff that makes big points quick and leaving stuff that takes weeks and even adding in the case of the 12 week bing daily search
Pwf brings in 250 a day with bonus points ( link social ,7 friends,sub to gp ) that's 7500 a month in a 30 day month where as the bonus 2500 is every 10 weeks ,keeps ppl doing stuff for longer for less points
Pwf will b cut sooon or even taken away
Even with the achievement cut I should still hit 24000 a month ...untill more cuts kick in of course
I've started a competition on my rewards discord for completing all the achievements on Headbangers to win a months ultimate ,should be interesting seeing how many take part in it
@themightyant the bugs I have encountered have been with me not seen on a yt channel , it is bad for a high priced game , like I've said in another thread , we as consumers have done this to ourselves, they all know no matter how bugged a game is we will still go and buy it in droves
@Kienda became we as consumers have shown them they can release buggy as hell games we will still throw our money at them , unfortunately that won't change unless as a whole we say no more
@Dan1283 did I say it had ? And for me it is ,ppl showed a lot of starfield NPC's eyes wandering while they talking to you and it did it a few times on me , on Spidey I've had npc that were just a head
@Mephisto2869 on starfield I was hit with the not being able to progress the story glitch but thankfully they fixed it but only after I restarted the game ,on spider man I've fell through the map a few times ,got stuck in a building and couldn't get out of and for some reason I couldn't get past some Invisible wall that I had to restart the game, im waiting for a fix before I play anymore it's not like I haven't got other games to play lol
@PsBoxSwitchOwner even if it was the best game ever they released ppl would still downvote the rating just cause , ppl do it on other platforms too ,it's stupid ,that's why I don't even read reviews I'll watch gameplay and see for myself if I think I'd play it or not
@Sifi I've been hit with a lot of bugs myself on spider man 2 they really should have kept working on it till it was done so what ppl will have to wait ? I'm waiting now for the fixes so makes no difference only on them getting paid quicker
@GamingFan4Lyf they are doing Thier sit back and let other platforms make money on games for them while ppl with gp get them all get out on the service, makes business sense , I don't know about anyone else but I feel gd that ppl that aren't in to the Xbox ecosystem are still paying microsoft and me as a gp subscriber reap the benefits , so the next time a ps fan tells me Xbox fans don't buy games my answer will be some don't but they don't have to other systems pay for our enjoyment
@Mephisto2869 because Microsoft was paying for all but now with all the studios and making money on mobile/cod etc they will be bringing in a lot of money and it takes longer than 20 mins to make a game .... Ask Sony about how long factions takes
I really enjoyed starfield and it's well deserved as far as I'm concerned , the thing that really excites me is the long term support they are going to be giving to it , can't wait to see what they have in store
@HonestHick Ahhh the old I buy my games day one...then sell them to a games store ( so hundreds of ppl can carry on doing that ) oh yeh support them Devs with the one payment they get
Trolls act like Microsoft doesn't pay the Devs at all it's stupid

Re: Xbox Might Be Experimenting With Ads For Free Access To Game Pass
Not a problem with them doing that for ppl who don't sub BUT waiting for cloud game has been awful since starfield come out , sort the service for the ppl who pay and don't just add on these free users that will bog the system down more
