But I repeat, is it legal?

I mean the game is fucking mine now. How is this allowed?

they can revoke the license, yes

you can sue them if they charge you for false advertisement on their website

 

[Big Brett]

This is where Im at right now. I dont want to be charged and have to fight the charges

They will not charge you for something that is listed as $0.00 that THOUSANDS are downloading that would be a fucking PR nightmare and absolutely illegal.

 

[Psychedelic Adventurer]

Pretty sure they just pulled the Xbox site into lockdown. Got an error message, and I can some of you have as well. Looks like it's over folks.

 

[Flavius]

thanks luke smith

Dude is dipping his sticky fingers in Destiny and still managing to cop a feel over at Kotaku?

That fiend!!!

 

[Soyongdori]

What would happen if you got it and downloaded it, then shut off your internet?

The next time you turn on internet, those games will be vanished into a thin air.

 

[univbee]

I also remember the same thing happening on ps4. People got to download fallout 4 and it was revoked two hours later.

Yeah. They couldn't fully revoke it but they could change the free copies (and only the free copies) into a version which was like a "free for the weekend" thing which had already expired. My RDR download is the same, so I expect that's what we'll see happen.

 

[moltonasty]

already gone

 

[rob305]

The sooner they fix it the bigger the chances we get to keep the licenses. Damage control

 

[Xone9]

snagggggged

i loaded the link in 6 tabs and after a few it let me buy it (others were errors)

 

[matrixman92]

Asking for a new page. If I bought the deluxe one and own the physical disc and the season pass already, if they revoke the license would that revoke my legit season pass purchase?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Lolololol

Knew this was coming

Also most software sold since the mid 90's isn't actually owned by the consumer...you merely have a license

This is why crying over Xbox One's original DRM was pointless. If Microsoft felt like being fucksticks and rendering a disc useless, they can.

 

[shadewolf]

Digital Deluxe changed to Not Available as I was checking out, but managed to get the base game anyways ... lets see what happens!

 

[MechDX]

Pretty sure they just pulled the Xbox site into lockdown. Got an error message, and I can some of you have as well. Looks like it's over folks.

Just hit buy now like 20 seconds ago.

 

[Klocker]

Ah wait, it's showing up in My Games section now.



Well cool. Now we wait to see if we can keep the license.

Where do you find that section please?

You really don't understand the terrors of a digital future.

Search your feelings. You know it to be NOT true.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Exactly would be insane to do so. Plus you already confirmed the price as $0.00. They can't suddenly charge your card the deal has been completed.

 

[nubbe]

No way for non us people to get it?

I got it in Sweden

 

[MageBoySA]

So I don't even own an Xbox One, but I now own Fallout 4 and the Season pass in case I ever buy one. And If I lose it from my account, Oh well. Nothing lost to me then.

 

[gossi]

It just got pulled from the store.

 

[Majukun]

not avaiable anymore

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Whelp can't add the dlc even though its listed for free. I get an error message. They're on to us!

 

[univbee]

What would happen if you got it and downloaded it, then shut off your internet?

You will have paid whatever your Xbox One cost for the price of a single game. You sure showed them.

 

[Oemenia]

Any chance for those of us not in the US?

 

[Thores]

Welp it's down. Went down in the time it took me to verify my microsoft account, too.

 

[Xone9]

just keep loading the link if you get errors folks

 

[CSX]

Fallout 4 + all DLC currently on the queue

 

[Alienfan]

Get away with it? Lol

We're all shitty Scooby Doo villains here

 

[Strootman]

You really don't understand the terrors of a digital future.

Digital life sucks then.

 

[Egg0]

Will see if Wasteland Workshop (only thing I got from this) disappears from my system later.

 

[Clockwork]

I got cockblocked by my system not connecting to Xbox Live. Then when I'd did log in it prompted my to update.

Aaaarrgh. Oh well, I already have it on PS4.

Say good bye to the game and season pass.

That brown nose

 

[Kadin]

Already had the game digital but the Season Pass is now installed and playing Far Harbor. See how long it lasts...

 

[sheamus]

the web-store didn't work but the Xbox one store worked for me... installing now

 

[Amagon]

Thank god I didn't go to the gym after work today!

 

[Radiant Chipmunk]

How long did it last?

 

[Laffer]

It says "Not available" now

I'm just a couple of minutes minutes late! Damn!

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

If Microsoft honours this it would be fucking amazing.

About as consumer friendly a move as they could pull right now.
