And here I thought this topic was gone. lol

I know some ppl will try to normalize this saying it is just business, yeah, it could be, but still it is totally unethical. In all honesty, if true, it is disgusting. Just imagine switching the places and Xbox was doing that, yeah, we all know how it would end up, just look back on how some ppl got outrage over a Dolby fake news exclusive deal…

I’ve been thinking & I really don’t understand why people keep mentioning Battlefield 6 as a possible day one Game Pass title.

The only way I can ever see this happening is if EA decides to start putting their big titles on EA Play day one, which seems unrealistic but if that did happen, then Game Pass Ultimate subscribers would have access to the game.

Outside of that scenario, I don’t see it happening. Why would EA put one of their biggest titles on basic Game Pass day one? That doesn’t make sense to me.

It depends I think. The game is going to have micro transactions, so if the multiplayer is not free to play then accepting a cheque from Microsoft instantly opens it up to 10s millions of potential players who can purchase said microtransactions. It can potentially be a win-win for EA because they gain some of the benefits of free to play while minimising the risk of no upfront payment.

Of course if the multiplayer is free to play then I don’t think there is any chance the game will be day one on Game Pass.

Ive put 0 stock into that rumor because it makes no sense financially from EA’s perspective. Granted the game doesnt end up like a BFV fiasco from a PR angle this thing is gonna sell double digits.

There is no rumour about Elden Ring being timed exclusive, just people taking Jeff Grubb out of context.

He says ā€œthat other thingā€ so it’s really a thing now? Because as far as I know the speculation was only here, nothing more. Yeah, this better not be true. Starting to get sick and tired of Sony.

Yea sony is really arrogant again you can tell but their fanbase don’t care they just want to be on the winning team basically

Yeah I just don’t see EA giving up those pre-orders or day one sales.

I don’t see why Xbox would go after the game either. There are other titles that could be more worth the money, from other publishers who aren’t already as invested in Game Pass.

With EA Play being a part of Game Pass Ultimate I think everyone involved will be happy to let Battlefield 6 come to the service in it’s own time.

No, there is no rumour about that. People just took Jeff’s comment about how another someone may have bought the marketing rights for Elden Ring, and somehow for some, that translated into timed exclusive.

Ah well, trailer should be next Friday I think? We’ll know then if it all of a sudden says PS5 exclusive (for at least six months or whatever trash it is in the FF7R trailer as well). Truly hope not.

But let’s remind ourselves that even though platforms have been announced, this doesn’t necessarily mean much. Wasn’t this the case with Rise of the Tomb Raider too?

Yeah, that was it. OK that’s good.

Id redirect efforts to get something like Back 4 Blood instead.

I don’t know why people think that Sony has anything to do with Elden Ring. Microsoft has the marketing for the game and barring that being voided or Microsoft not having clauses in the contract, it’s not going to happen.

Also, I think the Game Fest showing could just be a short trailer and it says ā€œsee moreā€ at the Xbox showcase. If anything, this is more likely.
