I haven't said that. I've only stated that through reading Phil's interviews it becomes pretty clear that he is more a PC guy than console. So, I'm not surprised that he wants to support PC with first-party games because this is where he prefers to play them. If you want to know my opinion on this topic, I can say that there is a huge opportunity for MS to increase their presence in their weakest markets with Play Anywhere. This is what I see. Because their weakest markets are kinda weak for PC as well. Of course I mean Japan and other Asian countries except South Korea where PC is pretty huge. Potentially, Play Anywhere can make this unified Xbox/Win10 ecosystem more appealing to Japanese developers because instead of choosing one of those unpopular platforms they can release their games on two while developing only one version. But, I must admit that Microsoft failed this opportunity and I don't see how they can comeback with it. First of all, they launched badly and unprepared for PC market. They still can't fix their store. And it looks like PC gamers will never support them for a lot of reasons. They still remember GFWL fiasco and don't want to deal with MS anyway. MS failed to get publishers on board with Play Anywhere. Almost all Play Anywhere games are only MS first parties and indies. So, yeah, I should agree that at this point they should probably stop releasing their major first-party games on PC because I don't see how it makes any sense with their PC presence being so weak with no any logical opportunities to become something relevant. On the other hand, they can't do that even if they want to. They've been talking way too much about their future PC support that it won't be great for their image as a company to step back from what they said. The closest opportunity to stop supporting PC without hurting their image that much would be the next-gen Xbox release, not earlier.

OK, I entered Microsoft Rewards, let's hope for some goodies!

I suggest saving the reward points for christmas time. They usually have some crazy good deals on MS Rewards during then. I remember back in like 2016 holiday 24k points was enough to get $50.

Is there any way to get notified?

Man, midnight club LA is very, very surprising. It's basically "Licenses: The game". Licensed cars, licensed car parts, licensed music, and even licensed 7-eleven stores, pizza huts and more.

If this game can come to BC, than any game can.

Completed games: Zheros DLC, Riptide GP Renegade, Rime, Late Shift, Inksplosion, Toby The Secret Mine, Streets of Rage, Factotum 90, Layers of Fear DLC

Zheros DLC is as bad as the base game, probably even more redundant.
3/10

Riptide GP Renegade is a really fun racing game from the Hydro Thunder Hurricane developer. There are a few negatices though. There are far too many races in the campaign. That's a bad thing because there are only a handful tracks. It gets redundant pretty fast. Yet I played it for 9 hours to get all achievements
7/10

Rime was hyped a lot but I didn't care for it as much. After playing it for 7 hours to get 1000G, I have to say it's pretty good. Still overhyped in my opinion but very playable nonetheless. For my taste the puzzles were a tad too easy though. Never had to think too much to solve them. Platforming is too easy. There is almost no way to fall down or not make the jump. Also there are far too many collectibles.
7.5/10

Late Shift is an interesting adventure game. Not much gameplay but the choices you make in the game seem to matter quite a bit. The acting not that bad, but the "game" is pretty short. Nevertheless, if you have GamePass you should definitely check it out.
7/10

Inksplosion. Very simple shoot'em up that will last about 20 minutes. No Joke. At least it's not frustrating.
4/10

Toby The Secret Mine is a platformer much like Limbo. Sadly the game is all about trial and error. There's no way to know what's ahead. Even then the game is short as balls. 2 hours for 1000G. But eh... played much worse.
6/10

Factotum 90. Puzzle game in which you remote control two robots to get through several levels. Graphics are very poor. Gameplay is pretty slow. Difficulty is alright though. Achievements require lots of grinding. 4 hours later you will receive 1000G. Doesn't even require to finish the game.
5/10

Layers of Fear DLC.  I hoped this would be much better. Sadly it's a good step below the base game. You play as the painters daughter and while it gives more insight, it never felt as creepy as the base game. They even removed the jump scares from the DLC.
6/10

The first Riptide is also great, the second one has more stuff.

I don't believe in this rumor at all. What's the point in 3 GEARS games?

If I were Phil, I'd invite Satya to E3 to give 2-3 minutes speech at the end of the show about Microsoft increased investment on Xbox during the last year and assures the fans about bigger things in the near future. Something along the lines of "Be patient with us. You'll see our investment come to fruition in a couple of years". It would resonate well with fans and media after a lackluster show.
