Lol, I seriously don't understand your first point.

As for the other point, Contraband is 1st party, this is a Partner Preview, it has never been about 1st party, it has never shown 1st party, they've made clear already that these Partner Previews are strictly about 3rd parties. People Can Fly will also be 1st party, those are only shown during Developer Directs or main showcases (E3/Gamescom/TGAs).

What is not to understand? What else did they do then for the direct?

Contraband is my mistake I thought it was a third party game because I only have heard about Avalanche studios and no other first party studio names. But my point still stand that I want them to make games with partners/investments etc.

So basically, you ignored all the games coming to GP Day one since that is MS main service.  You then ignore that MS give a bunch of these developer's pub which build relationships with MS and thus encourages them to then look to MS first when bringing their games to market, making GP deals or working on exclusive IP.  You ignore that giving visibility to bigger publishers it helps relationships with them, encourages them to not skip the Xbox ecosystem and also look to do deals like bringing their games day one to Xbox.

What I always find with your analysis is that you really seem to only look at what you want.  The problem is what you want is just to limited which is why you seem to never look at the bigger picture because you are to busy looking at the surface of things.

The thing is you have no clue what goes on behind the scenes, the deals and relationships that are being made or the communications between the partners and MS.  You really concentrate way to much on surface details which only give you the tip of the iceberg.
