XboxEra Community Hangout |OT9| Waiting for Developer_E3

Seem Sony is going after original Xbox console exclusive titles via Remake. I wonder what other OG or even 360/One Xbox exclusive, Sony will moneyhat next. Ninja Gaiden is something Sony will try and get, maybe Dead Rising if Capcom made another.

You can bet your ass it will be

The biggest response seems to be Banjo.

It’s probably that MGS remake? Yeah, it will suck to see Sony go away with that, with us as always having to wonder if it’s timed, for how long or if it comes to Xbox at all.

I’m a bit over remakes though so meh.

The correct answer…

I always thought this game would not survive in today’s climate lol

I just want a sequel, this game it’s so good and addictive.

I know, I wasn’t trying to single you out or anything. Apologies.

Yes, but it is getting worse… They cut the number of games in half and took away the ones we got to keep. They find ways to keep annoying people. :man_shrugging:

Yeah it’s not good at all. There was a time that they actually gave Gears 5 (or was it 4?) in this service. Oh they do give a big game to a service similar to GwG, Fallout 76 for PS, lol.

Clearly we shouldn’t expect any big, older games for GwG anymore, sadly, but there are plenty of older smaller games that are actually really worth it, but nah, guess not. I

At this point I doubt MS cares, not only about the service but also peoples opinion of it

They want people on GP and it’s clear by the games being added they don’t care that some people find the offerings bad, likely because the people that do actually care at this point is very small

The vast majority of people are either on GP now or the ones that are still on Gold are doing it purely for the online

We are still paying for it via GPU? Gold is a big reason for a lot of people to be on GPU rather than just GP.

On the contrary, I don’t think that is a big reason for many people, including myself - having EA play and xcloud are arguably bigger reasons IMO.

I don’t think any of us know-know :wink:

I doubt many people are paying for Gold or GPU for GwG but that’s just my opinion but I do stand by it being an insignificant amount based on what has been offered for the last few years

MS most certainly have the data to show what people subscribed are subscribing for/how many are actually downloading and playing these games

I used to claim every game I could and never played them but between GP and the GwG on offer, I don’t even do that anymore

Yeah, I don’t think anyone is paying just for GwG lol. I mean that it’s a part of something we pay for that has gotten worse and worse.

To counter-balance that, they have improved the online aspects with the integration into Discord.

It’s going to get worse and worse until it’s gone, they could always just get rid of it and give us no games but still charge to play MP like before, then people would complain about missing out on free games even though the same people were saying the free games are bad.

I’m actually wondering what the hell does Microsoft do with those licences though, say they get rid of XBLG and GwG, what happens to all the titles we claimed? I also assume the deals Microsoft signed with the companies are based off the recuring membership and how you need an active XBLG sub, how are we gonna do that with it being gone. Will Microsoft have to do some weird shit to merge gold into game pass and then you’ll need an active game pass sub to access those same games.

Yeah it’s a mess. Imagine the shit they’d get if we couldn’t access the games we claimed… It would probably have to be through GP. I’m guessing they will roll out more tiers to Game Pass relatively soon, change things up a bit but just have Game Pass for everything, only tiers like on PS.
