I would say no. Because unless the games have just horrible technical performance somehow, it's the exact same games just with the additional feature of controller support. 

Idk if it's been confirmed or not, but will all 3 paid expansions for AoE 2: DE be included in the Xbox port as a single product or do will you still have to pay for each expansion individually?

Not that it matters too much. There's over 30 civilizations to play as in AoE 2 lol. That's hundreds of hours just mastering the base games civs.

That many civs is partly why AoE 4 was so disappointing at launch since it only had 8 to play as lol. Then only added 2 more a year after launch. 

I remember once Bungie was bought by Sony, D2 was off Gamepass ASAP

Over 200K people on TA for High on Life.Not sure about total player count, but I'm assuming a 10% of total players. So maybe a little less if not 2 million. Wonder if this come to PS, or MS will secure rights and or buy the studio outright. Maybe the guy doesn't want to sell though.

Since Justin is the co-creator of Rick & Morty, he almost certainly doesn't need to sell, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to sell, so I do wonder as well.

His quote to Xbox Wire was interesting to me.

“We are an indie studio. We’re small. And we do want a war chest to make a bunch more fun crazy games. And that was of consideration for us. It’s like, ‘OK, we really want this game to get out there. We want it to do. We want sales to do well.’ And I think that, yeah, I mean, from what I gathered in my little poking around and asking different folks, Game Pass was a huge value-add in that respect.”

Microsoft has a war chest I don't think Microsoft will buy the IP since they usually don't just buy IPs, I'm unsure if Justin would sell, I do think we'll see a lot of Game Pass deals with him in the future though and maybe even some publishing offers, I don't think they'll extend the exclusivity though if there is one.

Lost Odyssey 2???
