Found a very rare GEM and it’s still sealed!

@Nintendont_64 I’m thinking they might meet people halfway they may stop making future games disc based. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they enabled USB disc drives to at least play your existing collection or get the entitlement

[Jared Christian @Random_Name]

@SixersOctavian @Wario64 They answered that a while back. It’s just Xbox one and Xbox series disk for now because that each Xbox disk since the one has some kind of entitlement code built into it. It goes back to the whole DRM thing from when the one was announced.

@DestinLegarie I hope so.

@Wario64 The fact that it’s now it play anywhere, makes me so happy. In my opinion, this is the greatest thing XBOX has ever done.

@NVIDIAGeForce @GearsofWar @GeForce_JacobF #RTXPowerPlay fingers crossed

I understand both sides. But taking 7+ years. Red flag, but I think XBOX did it to themselves by not really holding the studio’s accountable. Giving them clear project milestones. But my biggest fear is that Xbox will go back to micromanaging everything. Both Xbox and development teams need to find a happy medium.

@NVIDIAGeForce Guess I’ll give it a shot

@NVIDIAGeForce @_WECKLESS @007GameIOI #007FirstLightRTX fingers crossed could really use it for my new computer. That’s the only thing I didn’t upgrade.

@godfree Wasn’t crazy taxi supposed to be a online multiplayer games as a service style game. I hope it’s not the one that got canceled. I remember when they announced it in the press release afterwards, explaining that it was going to be multiplayer focused.

@hns_vibez4u Food for thought people you know people actually pay to look like this nowadays

[Jared Christian @Random_Name]

@44F0rc3 This one I think is fine because it’s more than just a facelift. They’ve added a whole bunch of new missions and new characters from what I’ve heard from my jam. It’s about 10 to 15 hours worth of new content. And it’s not 70 which I think is a win.

Game Pass is a real alternative. I have many friends two family members from my college years who are developers, that would say game pass is the reason their game successful. (indie and AAA), success rates outside ecosystems like Game Pass are extremely low—only a small fraction of games break through. Look at the last 5 years: plenty of well-reviewed titles launched without day-one Game Pass and still failed to find an audience. Game Pass materially increases discoverability and adoption. Even Expedition 33’s devs said it was a major factor in their success—it likely would’ve done fine otherwise, but not at that scale.

Call of Duty is the exception. Putting it on Game Pass was clearly about driving subs, and it didn’t move the needle much. Meanwhile, many existing subscribers who used to buy CoD annually now just play it via Game Pass, which likely cannibalized sales revenue.

If day-one were inherently bad, non–first-party devs wouldn’t keep opting into it—especially studios that have done it multiple times.

That said, it should be case by case. Big revenue drivers like CoD—and there is an argument to be made for Forza. (Glad it’s in game) But most games aren’t outliers, and many day-one launches (even ones people questioned, like Silksong) haven’t been hurt by it

@asha_shar I doubt you’ll read this, but I just wanted to ask for those of us who continue to subscribe and pay the $30 since the price was dropped back down. Is there anything you’re going to do for us who have paid that higher price since the change?
