I wholeheartedly dislike f2p, any kind.

I hope it doesn't become a trend. But Microsoft lately is just doing stuff to make me dislike them, so who knows, from spencer I expect everything (negative).

Lionhead is so useless, might be interesting tho

But seriously,

"do you know what might be a good idea?" "What?" "Put all lionhead resources into a Moba like game with fable name"." Oh nice idea."

"I have more shishishi" "oh come on don't me curious" "I Will make it f2p fufufu"

"I think moba will take off this generation on consoles" - said spencer on Twitter

F2p is not good but the way Ms is doing it is not bad either. It just helps to get people on board for example if someone was not a big fan of fable and have already made his mind to not to buy the game but f2p model might get him on board he might just play f2p game and once he likes it he can jump on board and if you want you can buy retail version like donsterydo2 said.

Yeah that's a good f2p model and absolutely acceptable. It will also ensure a healthier userbase which is important for such a game.

There are simply games which are better as F2P, I'm also not a huge fan of it but in some cases I am happy that it's there. Dota, LoL, WoT and stuff like that as example (but WoT would be better if the special ammunition wouldn't be there as purchasable stuff)

Dude chill out with your phil spencer hate. 

Microsoft has cut the annual cost to $40 for Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Instead of paying the usual fee of $60 a year, you can become an Xbox Live Gold member for $40. The fine print doesn't indicate whether this is a temporary promotion and, if so, when the sale might end.

Want do you get for the $40 annually? An Xbox Live Gold subscription --good for both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 game consoles -- allows you to play with and compete against other Xbox owners. You can also tap into a lineup of free games and save anywhere from 50 percent to 75 percent on other games sold in the Xbox Store.

Microsoft's Games with Gold program offers all Xbox Live Gold members free games each month. For March, members who own an Xbox One can get Rayman Legends for free, while those with an Xbox 360 can download Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite. In April, all Xbox Live Gold subscribers will a bonus: Xbox One owners will snag two free games while Xbox 360 owners get four freebies.

Xbox owners who like to watch streaming videos won't find an Xbox Live Gold subscription as critical as it used to be, though. In June, Microsoft changed its policy to allow Xbox owners to access such services Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and HBO Go without having to pay for a Live Gold membership.

Xbox owners can tap into the $20 discount by either downloading a digital code or ordering a physical card in the mail.

Microsoft did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment.

I won't. Worse head Microsoft studios could have for me.

Good decision about Fable Legends. It would have flopped if it had a full retail release. I mean it could still flop now but its less likely.

I'm not surprised. AN earlier article mentioned here stated if as a" games as a service" kinda thing
