Poorly. The text is very small and difficult to read.Praetorians is a game for keyboard and mouse. I don't know how well it's gonna play with a controller.
The other game I don't know anything about and I don't think I'll miss out not wanting to.
They will need to incentivize Game Pass and continue to add more content. If you're a COD player waiting for Starfield and you can play both on Game Pass with online for less than it would cost to buy those games at retail, Game Pass starts to look a lot more enticing. This is exactly what they are hoping the acquisition will help them achieve.I still don't believe it because online play is more popular than ever.
Let's say I'm a Gamepass subscriber and i don't like any games that's coming to Gamepass except Starfield and that's coming lets say holiday 2023 but i still have my online games like COD (that was purchased) and other online games that i can still play while waiting for Starfield so i keep Gold just for online play.
1. Why would i pay $20-25 or higher (After Gamepass price raise) a month when i can just wait until the month of Starfield's release when online is free? And Xbox gamers already have this mentality, thats why Gamepass Subs are lower than what Microsoft expected.
2. Why would Microsoft give up the profit from online when it does not benefit them?
What's hard to understand? Free games for gold subscribers. I happen to have enjoyed Xbox live gold for the past like 15 years and it's free games.Free?
It's not free as you literally pay a sub for them. That's like saying Netflix gives you free movies to watch. Wtf?What's hard to understand? Free games for gold subscribers. I happen to have enjoyed Xbox live gold for the past like 15 years and it's free games.
They were giving us free Xbox original games.It's not free as you literally pay a sub for them. That's like saying Netflix gives you free movies to watch. Wtf?
IT'S NOT FREE WHEN YOU PAY FOR THE SERVICE.They were giving us free Xbox original games.
Tone down the semantics, we all understand that.IT'S NOT FREE WHEN YOU PAY FOR THE SERVICE.
How is this simple concept so hard to understand?!
It's not semantics. It's not free.Tone down the semantics, we all understand that.
But if you stop paying for the service, you get to keep the Xbox Original games.IT'S NOT FREE WHEN YOU PAY FOR THE SERVICE.

They are free if that's what MS calls them. Yes we know it's not really free, but that's what they are literally called. Me and many others are simply not uptight about it like you are.It's not semantics. It's not free.
I'm not uptight, but it's not free.They are free if that's what MS calls them. Yes we know it's not really free, but that's what they are literally called. Me and many others are simply not uptight about it like you are.
Can you play them offline?But if you stop paying for the service, you get to keep the Xbox Original games.
COD requires paid multiplayer on console. That would make COD on Xbox cost a minimum of 180 per year. Or would it be 240 per year?They will most likely just cut the service and make gamepass the default at 15 dollars for online play, and gamepass ultimate 20
Sounds fair for MS. But I think the consumer would be better served if they didn't have to pay 180 per year for online access.
Just mercy kill games with gold and merge gold into the lower game pass tiers.
COD requires paid multiplayer on console. That would make COD on Xbox cost a minimum of 180 per year. Or would it be 240 per year?
That would be one of the most anti-consumer things that MS could do to its own customers, especially primarily COD players.
I am all for that. But it isn't happening. Last time that was predicted they tried to double the price (I think) before the backlash changed their mind. And now Phil is talking about price increases. No way they are going to buy COD and make the Xbox consumer pay less to play it every year than pre-purchase by dropping gold. I'll happily admit I was wrong if they change it, but the evidence isn't there to support the claim they intend to. We are more likely to see Sega finally get sold on Wednesday.I mean the other alternative is microsoft doing free online, which jeff grubb still insist is happening. That would be the most aggressive business move in console gaming ever, especially since they’re the ones who introduced it.
Sounds fair for MS. But I think the consumer would be better served if they didn't have to pay 180 per year for online access.
Do you even want to play them?Can you play them offline?
I'm not uptight, but it's not free.
Words have meaning. If you need to pay for something to get something.... then it's...
Can you play them offline?
Well, yeah, you already paid them.But if you stop paying for the service, you get to keep the Xbox Original games.
Yes, but you can't play the 360 games offline last time I checked.Original Xbox and 360 games that ever went up on GwG become your permanent purchases even if you let your Gold lapse.
Only One and Series games require you to keep your service running.
So if you have gold and you redeemed 360 games from whenever they started, if your gold lapses you will still own all those 360 games permanently.

Well that settles it, it must be true!

Option 2. Pay $30 a month for Gamepass to play COD and wait for Starfield in 13 months losing $390
I'm paying for the online services, the free games were added well after I joined. I get your point, and it's valid, but your perspective is narrow.It's not free as you literally pay a sub for them. That's like saying Netflix gives you free movies to watch. Wtf?
Sounds like you want to be argumentative for the sake of arguing. Whatever.Well, yeah, you already paid them.
When I stop giving McDonald's money, I get to keep my Happy Meal toy.
That's called buying stuff...
I think so. Haven’t tried.Can you play them offline?
That's true. Just asking for it to rip.Off topic, but what kind of idiot drags their trash out to the bin? It's not that heavy.
Yes, but you can't play the 360 games offline last time I checked.
