Paying more to play "early" is an industry standard for many publishers now. You once again complain about MS which isn't a MS thing.

 I also don't like this but yeah, complain about the industry and not MS alone.

It's also pretty normal to see increasing prices. Have you seen Netflix, Amazon Prime or how expensive your eggs in the supermarket are nowadays?

So yes, none of that is nice but it's also nothing you have to isolate MS with your criticism. 

That's Just how it works. Reduce your staff, reduce your costs as much as possible and squeeze as much as possible out of your customer. Your investors don't accept anything else nowadays.

Well MS was one of the ones who did it early not sure if Sony or Nintendo do it with their games.

Like you said it is not nice and the meme should be 'This is not DAY 1 on gamepass with Indy/Avowed special editions posted under it'

It is a false narrative to say that the day a game's releasedate is not day 1 but 'early'. 

But the games release day one on Gamepass. Not the "pay more to play early" editions but you can also not play them if you buy the standard edition. You obviously won't get the game in Gamepass days before the standard 70€ version releases.

So you shouldn't complain about Gamepass versions releasing too late but about the early versions but even then, you can just wait a few days. The game doesn't run away from you. It sucks that companies use the "weakness" of some people who can't wait to squeeze more money out of them but in the end it won't hurt you.

Popping in to say that this week has been great for Xbox, I'm liking the positive momentum lately.

  • Monday - Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Gameplay Deep Dive, Overwatch Classic.
  • Tuesday - South of Midnight Documentary, Spyro Reignited Trilogy in Game Pass, Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1, Towerborne Update 2.
  • Wednesday - Warcraft Battle Chest Announced, WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Edition, WoW Roadmap, ESO Update 44 on Xbox (Battlegrounds Revamp and New Companions).
  • Thursday - Atomfall Release Date (Day One Game Pass), Xbox November Update, Avowed Premium Edition and Trailer, Age of Empires II: Battle for Greece, Ara History Untold Update 1.1
  • Friday - Black Friday Deals.

Could have brought back X0 with all of this stuff and have a nice little 30-40 minute celebration, though I suppose it's safer to split it up because if they did a little stream you'd have the permanently bitter users moaning about how there was no megaton new announcements at the event because there's no such thing as being allowed a nice smaller event. They could have easily added in a Flight Simulator 2024 launch trailer and Stalker 2 launch trailer as well considering how close to release they both are, I assume they'll be released next week. End it with that new ad campaign which I personally think is great, clear messaging and one of their smarter ad campaigns.

Next Week = Flight Simulator 2024 (Game Pass), Genshin Impact and Stalker 2 (Game Pass).

Eating well on Game Pass lately, they slapped Spyro on me and now I've got to get through that before Stalker 2, then Stalker 2 before Indiana Jones, I had to put Dragon Age on hold because of Spyro and since dipping out, I've actually had a proper look at Game Pass and added like 5-6 extra titles for me to play, Lol. Too much stuff to play.
