[Disgraced]

Taken offline.

For those of us that got it, time to hold on to your butts!

Snatched it just before it went down, suckers! I'm squeezing my cheeks real hard!

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

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

I guess i'd have to stay always-offline then

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Skilotonn]

That's crazy - and I see that even if I wanted to get in on this, all the links are down saying it's unavailable.

 

[Geek]

wtf Polygon. what do you expect to hear from MS? "Do you enjoy your free swag?"

I expect to hear one of a few things:

1. This was in error, but we'll honor the downloads
2. This was in error, we're revoking the license(s)
3. This was a great deal, please enjoy

 

[Varg]

Where?

Look up @xboxmad

I'm on mobile so can't link or post pics

 

[TheChamp]

Now if only downloads on Xbox were not painfully slow... used to Steam speeds

 

[Fury451]

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

Thats not going to happen. Pretty sure this isn't the first time this has happened with Fallout 4 either, and they revoked the licenses then.

It's an error, not like Live got hacked and they let you keep it as compensation. For lack of a better term, it's viewed as "stolen" as of now, and nobody is in their right to keep it for free.

It was not a promotion.

 

[Xone9]

Microsoft makes millions a day off of Office, probably a couple sheckles to them.

 

[LelouchZero]

Get away with it? Lol

It would have been mine, if it hadn't been for those meddling gaming reporters!

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Man this is stupid. Can't get the DLC standalone.

DLC: Bundle only, links to Season Pass which also says Bundle only, which goes to the Digital Deluxe Edition, which is...unavaliable.

 

[KnightHart]

The tweets in question I guess

The only way I can see this working for Bethesda is if they're lining up for a FO4 DLC announcement on Sunday

 

[Alienfan]

If Microsoft honours this it would be fucking amazing.

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

While it would be amazing for a few thousand of us, I think it would piss off the wider xbox community more - unfortunately most people have the childish "they got one, so why can't I have one too" mentality.

All of Fallout 4 has been pulled. Can't even buy the game legit.

Or "they shouldn't get it for free because I paid for my copy"

 

[MechDX]

please dont belive 3rd party links or fan pages

[Jigorath]

Ain't no way this was a promotion. But as long as I get to keep it they can call it whatever they want.

 

[StoopKid]

Smh why would you tell.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Seeing heaps of screenshots of support chat transcripts confirming we get to keep it.

Fuck yeah.

GG Microsoft.

 

[Smidget]

Everyone else getting horribly slow downloads?

 

[Thewonandonly]

Whoa... sounds like we'll probably be keeping them

Fuck ya guess who is selling fallout 4 to gamestop.

I'm a terrible person

Thats like if I stood in line for a concert and got to the front tho gotta be there to get things some people get lucky some dont..#life

 

[bidguy]

brb selling my physical copy

 

[Geist-]

I wanna hope this was just an aggressive advertisement for the new Mods feature, but it probably was a price mistake that will be revoked.

Oh well, maybe this will give me a chance to try out the expansion, I already bought it for the PC and because of how disappointed I was in the main game I refused to buy the season pass. Maybe I'm wrong and this will convince me to buy it.

Edit: Just saw above, wow, I was right, it was a promotion. Fuck yeah.

 

[gossi]

Doesnt matter, fake or real its ms press gotta spin it

A random Xbox instant message support person in India is not a Microsoft press spokesperson. I asked Bethesda what the deal is when this thread went up. They pulled the game from Xbox Store.

 

[Fury451]

bullshit they never revoked access on xbox

show me proof

Don't think it happened on Xbox. Pretty sure this exact issue happened to Fallout 4 on PS4. Revoked.

Edit:

Seen those new images. Certainly doesn't seem like a promotion, especially if they've pulled it altogether right now.

If it is, that's one heck of a promotion.

 

[ryan299]

This thing blew up quick. ign people were retweeting cag.

 

[Iorv3th]

Says Not Available for me.

Why he gotta be from India though lol

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Well you have to figure 3/4ths of xbone owners are probably trying to download it right now. You'll be lucky if you're getting dialup speeds right now.

Mine is downloading at a steady 15-20mbps.

That's where some MS support runs from.

amazing

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Fuck yeah.

GG Microsoft.

Why do people think chat support has any clue about this stuff? They are, in most cases, even more unaware than you of what's going on.

 

[TimeEffect]

Would be one hell of a way to promote GWG with a surprise like that

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

On PS4 it was the Season pass this happened with.

 

[Papasmurf531]

Fuck, I missed it. From what I have read on this page it looks like it is unavailable to download now, is that correct?

 

[darkinstinct]

Now if only downloads on Xbox were not painfully slow... used to Steam speeds

I'm getting 97 MBit on a 120 MBit line.
