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.

It was called the Xbox Partner preview and not the gamepass partner preview.  I did not ignore it tho and thats why I called the preview fine, seems to be general consensus that it was not bad or great,  just fine...

I think most hoped or maybe expected some new partners or new investments in partners but doesn't seem to be the case and again thats fine..

Don't really care about words, huge lists or whats happening backdoors.  Gamers in general don't care, it is about making those promises come true and deliver.
