That's funny. I've seen you moaning about Game Pass, but you're actually actively pushing the industry in that direction.

Lol. The conversation still works either way :)

Careful... Talk like that might get you lynched. Declare your preference and sincere love for single player games before it gets ugly.

That's a shame. I hope a good value subscription that includes the games you want is available for you soon.

Until then you could always pretend that actually own the games you are paying for, or something fanciful like that. It won't help your bank balance, but it might help take the edge off.

Yes yes, I'm only playing. I know and respect your point of view really ;)

3 years subscription to Xbox Game Pass and a packet of crisps.

Microsoft aren't and can't stop other providers from offering similar services. Hopefully others will sooner rather than later, and we'll end up with a healthy and competitive market for subscription gaming services.

Yes. Then we can finally get games at better prices. Digital games should not cost as much as physical games, and the retail chains are a big reason why digital stores don't undercut the box price.

There are other important factors (like publisher/platform holder greed, and lack of competition in the closed market), but getting rid of retail takes one obstacle out of the way.

All digital is great on PC :)

The $60 figure was quite clearly taken from the comment I directly replied to. I've never personally paid for a game in Dollars, I'm English.

Sorry to hear Best Buy are ripping you off so badly though. You should check out Game Pass, it could save you loads of money and you'd get to play hundreds of games for less money than you are spending now :p

Your question isn't going to get a smart reply, because it isn't a smart question.

Q: "What if you want to watch a move that's not on Netflix?"
A: "You watch a movie that's not on Netflix".

$60 is pretty steep for a game you can complete in a month.

Game Pass isn't the problem, it is a solution.

You need to follow your own advice, and not just look at yourself. Most people can look at an article, look at their own situation, and think "This is/is not relevant to me", and then read it or skip it. Nothing about it is hard to understand.

The near future isn't actually that bad. Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, and Crackdown 3 are all on the way.

The problem is the near past, which casts a massive shadow over any thought that MS might keep delivering games.

That is not how the passage of time works

^^I completely edited out the original comment. Apologies for ruining the reply :)

Retailers have held console digital prices to ransom for too long on the basis that the platform holders need them to make the consoles a success. It is about time someone broke the deadlock.

No not literally, I was exaggerating. They actually sold 16.

Interesting. Polygon are the only reviewer that I really trust, so I'll probably buy this.

From Microsoft? A plague of locusts and the death of every family's first born son.

When it happens just remember; you brought this on yourself. You should have refused to subscribe to Game Pass while you had the chance.

Oh Saga could make for an awesome remake. I think the original sold about 14 copies and the IP carries no weight at all so there is no chance, but no harm dreaming eh?

I'm calling bullshit. You totally intended the pun.
