Re: Microsoft Rewards Begins Adding 15-Minute 'Cooldown Time' In Some Countries

@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

@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

@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

@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

@BAMozzy same for me , I couldn't stop just doing everything and for once it wasn't about the achievements as I didn't even check out achievements till the third day of playing , I've not been like that in a very very time with any game .
I was actually thinking of ways to put off real life stuff to play it and when I was off the game I was thinking of things to do in the game like beefing up my defences on the outposts or where to put extra weapons on my ship so when I did get back to it I had a list in my head of things to do on there
