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.

Let me get this straight.  MS partnered with 3rd party developers to bring games to their most prized service which has driven MS to purchase multiple studios and publishers but for some reason you believe the term, partner preview which mind you is exactly that a preview of games coming from MS partners is not relevant. 

Do not say most hoped, just isolate that statement to YOU hoped because I can tell you I did not have any expectations for the preview besides getting a look at some new games which is what the preview did.  Even still, there are a number of different studios making games that will be coming to MS xbox from different studios I never heard I just believe it comes a time where if all you see is something negative, that is all you seem to take away from these events.

Last but not least, it was you that made a point about how MS is working with their partners.  So basically you are saying if I do not understand what is going on then its not happening. What kind of gamer are you trying to be.  The entitled ones who believe everything revolves around them or the one who understands how things get done.  Also your last line seems just off.  What promises are you talking about.  Just because the event did not float your boat, its suddenly a promise that is only within your own head.  

Ok, so the event did not float your boat, we get it but I believe you are putting to much stock on just your one opinion or maybe you just have way to big of an expectation for these small events.  Maybe you should just take them for what they are, events to give air time to games coming to MS platform.

It didnt really had much relevance, even in the xbox groups you see the statement, 'If you missed the show you not really missed something'.
It could have been some xbox wire posts on it is own, we had plenty of similar releases that never got a partner preview and it was also fine. I am still thankfull that they made a partner preview.

Maybe I am missing something, can you say why you think the partner preview was great and why is the general consensus 'it was fine' wrong?  Youtube/twitch reactions is full with commentators and viewers who said it was bad or great but the biggest group clearly being 'it was fine' So yeah I am curious...

I don't think my expectations were high, I made two? related partner preview posts before it was shown; one was about how it is a good thing to have a partner preview and I think a second one about how I hope Octopath Traveler 2 will be announced (considering it was stated to have an early 2024 release)...

The negativity and my opinion is not just mine it is going through whole the community,
If I open a spawn wave video I probably will hear 'hope MS proof the naysayers wrong/ does what gamers hope etc'   
I will hear mattyplays say 'Please Xbox proof me wrong and fix redfall and Starfield like you promised'   
I hear MintBlitz say 'Please Xbox listen to 343',   
I will hear Asmongold say 'Ofcourse I want MS to Fix WoW/Diablo IV but to do so you need a company who cares about the quality and opinions of gamers and invest in it but MS just cares about $,  if I am wrong, well MS proof me wrong and invest',
I hear  Max Dood guy say 'Xbox spend more time trying to ban third party accesoires than in what gamers want; if you need me again for KI I am here!' 

Personally I would love to be proven wrong aswell...but all I see is a community who wants the Xbox naysayers to be proven wrong; xbox defenders getting tired and a new pityfull group who now hopes xbox consoles die soon and will bring PS consoles with them out of spite..
