Deals with Gold becomes Deals With Game Pass, and Free Play Days still available to Game Pass Core members.
So the only change is GWG is being killed and replaced by a catalogue of titles instead.

If for whatever reason you want to listen to this, they're livestreaming it, I doubt it'll be interesting though.
It'll be interesting to see how much Game Pass increases in September because then we may be able to roughly work out how many people were still only on Gold.
So we know Game Pass is about 25m right now, if it increases to 45m then we can say Gold had roughly 20m subscribers.

CAT Judge is a bit moody
He’s questioning why the CMA changed direction in the matter of weeks. “Why didn’t you listen to these new proposals before?”
He doesn't seem like he wants to be here, Lmao.

Mr Justice Smith wants to know why just about two weeks ago the CMA sought a postponement of the appellate hearing without reference to those ongoing negotiations.

Mr Justice Smith clarifies that even if both parties request an appeal, the court can deny it.

He says he's sure that in private litigation, under such circumstances, the motion to stay would be denied as well.

Mr Justice Smith has 4-stage process in process:
— Florian Mueller (@FOSSpatents) July 17, 2023
1. Tribunal must be satisfied with proper legal foundation of discussions between CMA and Microsoft. Not as matter of law that CMA is right, but wants to know that there is a proper jurisdictional basis for CMA's proposal.
🧵9/X
3. If the first 2 requirements are met, question is whether CMA is indeed seeking a stay for those reasons. Motion must be grounded in reality, cannot just be hypothetical. Thinking behind motion to stay must be explained.

Judge really doesn't seem to like having his time wasted, Lol.
Well...Microsoft and CMA wanted a pause but it seems like the Judge needs convincing right now...He wants a good reason why they should pause and delay things, he seems a bit annoyed by the quick change, he seems annoyed by both Microsoft and CMA but more so CMA because they've already tried and failed to delay it once before and he seems annoyed by them reacting to the FTC, suddenly changing their mind.
This isn't really good for either side right now, both Microsoft and the CMA agreed to a pause for the trial, Lol. He doesn't seem to like his time wasted and doesn't want to pause the trial only for them to come back to it later if this current "deal" they're working on falls through, I can't really blame him for not wanting his time wasted.

Starfield early access is part of Ultimate? I thought you needed the special edition to play 5 days earlier.
Judge may need an additional trial with the other tribunal judges present.
The other 2 judges are busy until Thursday.
