eh, if you look at MS rewards then you have to spend even more than that to buy a new game.

Is it really lol ?

Yeah, it’s 20 point per dollar spent, and to get a $25 credit its 23900 points which equals to $1195 spent, so if you want a full priced game you’ll need 4 x $25 creditt = $4780 spent.

However, like I mentioned reason why everything seems light is due to challenges and spending promos which goes in line with many people’s habits. Plus you get a ton from bing and other stuff if you’re in Microsoft’s ecosystem

For real lol. Searching the Bing browser and doing its quests is so ingrained in me that I didn’t even realize.

Actually I did not know that you can earn reward points outside bing

… Oh the 50 points per day for 1 achievement is really good imo I say 3 achievements for 5 points because I don’t think they will be generous enough to do 5 per achievement but wither way, it would at least be something to give people incentive to keep on playing and being rewarded with the system and yes, getting rewarded for getting all achievements in a game would be another excellent thing to add, dont think they’d ever go as high as 500-1000 though, there’s a lot of easy achievement lists so they know people would abuse the hell out of that But give us something, there’s so many things they could be adding to it, hoping that Playstation Stars thing ends up being decent so it gives MS a kick up the back side to add more

While it’s always nice to get more, the current system of clicking on things is much faster and easier than tying it to achievements. You can mostly max out your daily rewards in like 10 minutes each morning.

I love the current rewards program! I haven’t paid for GPU or (full price) for a game for almost 3 years .

Well yes of course but im saying this as something to be added, not to replace current stuff

Yeah Strife not Strider! my bad! though I wouldn’t say no to a new Strider game, Double Helix’s game was pretty decent.

Strife was really fun in Genesis (which was also a great game), can’t wait to see how he’ll play in Darksiders 4. I am expecting something close to Devil May Cry’s Gunslinger style.

Agreed on all counts. Really enjoyed Darksiders Genesis. If I can get Darksiders IV and Remnant 2 from Gunfire Games this generation, I will be very pleased.

I still have my 3 year stacked until April, hoping family plan becomes available by then as I have 3 buddies to split it with. But rewards is indeed awesome, although I can’t seem to stack more than 30$ worth of points or so before a game I want or a new Battlepass I need comes along. Wish I could save enough for a console like some folks do. I guess in the end I’d have spent the money either way so it balances out!

Wow, so Game Pass has almost reached 3 billion subs. Phil wasn’t joking.

Has to be, right? All the subs are $1 trials, or how was it?

@Boosted_Gear

18% only? So you’re saying that Game Pass can share success with other components of its ecosystem. That is shocking.

Being a Tank in Overwatch now is not fun. If people think these queue times are bad, give it a few months. There will be a drought of Tank players
