@IdleSloth84_ I'm hoping for Forza Horizon 3 and Marvel's Ultimate Alliance

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@PolymarketBlitz Tonbe fair, they had 2 of the most accurate kickers in history back to back for 20 years.

@XBOX Question: what's to stop someone from purchasing a physical game, claiming the entitlement, and returning the physical game to the store?

@MaskedPhantom05 @NFL @NFLPlus You mean Brandon Aubrey

@soupcanarchist @DeusExBoreae @kaajukatlee @grok My mom had her 6th at 40. Her cousin had her 12th at 49. It happens.

@IGN Like 90% of my physical games I buy are pre-owned. Do they factor this into the equation?

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@RinoTheBouncer No

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@TheGameVerse I've never been interested in the series. I don't really get it. But I'm happy for people who are excited.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@krinab123 @nib95_ You won't see much mainstream content about this because Fire Emblem isn't much of a mainstream series. The outrage was everywhere when Mario Kart World was announced at $80.

@Pirat_Nation People should vote on this practice with their wallet. If it doesn't sell they'll adjust.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@xrileyx6 @TheKirb__ @SmashUltimateB1 @laketotori Are you referring to Mario Kart World? That's the only standalone game that costs $80 on Switch 2. Every other $80 game is the game plus DLC.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@RinoTheBouncer I don't need one so I won't be getting one, but if I was in the market I'd say $700. I won't spend more than that for any console.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@Mod63409037 @XBOX Where are you? In the United States it's $500-650.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@ZikadaPrime I'm not a computer guy and I love my Steam Deck. I bounce between it, my Switch 1, and Series X depending on the game and my mood. Lately I've been playing Persona 4 Golden and some Skyrim on my Steam Deck.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@purexbox These are some I most want:

Madden 08
NFL 2K5
007 Nightfire
Project Gotham Racing
Peter Jackson's King Kong
Spider-Man 2
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@mousethegame I just want the standard version on Xbox physically... Guess I'm out of luck?

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@Kirby0Louise I'd rather the other way around. Pay for the few first party games I want to own and get a pass for hundreds of other smaller games I wouldn't otherwise have tried out.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@DanielOlimac While I agree, this is under different management. Old boss raised the price, new boss lowered it. Maybe she would never have raised it if she were in charge at that point. But yeah, if it were same management you'd have a solid point.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@Nick_Marseil I'd love it if they removed all first party games from day 1 and lower the price to $15 or less. Let me buy the few that I want and get more sales on exclusives (and actually have exclusives to get more people on Xbox). I see this as a complete win.

[Happymask @Happymask_jrb]

@JonnyDMusic @XboxGamePass If you agree to pay a company for their product that's on you. If you don't want to support the company don't give them your money. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
