It's also the only thread with 4000 recent views. Or 3000 recent views. Or 2000 recent views. The next highest is at 1000 recent views as far as I can see. Though I'm not sure exactly how the recent views stuff works, Lol.

But clearly still the most popular thread on VGChartz by some distance, I just wish it had more activity to match the lurkers

139,335 now

The other one hasn't had a recent post in over 5 years, but is still gaining views. Over 300 recent. 

Closed in 23,397 views in 5 days.  17 days until June Showcase. Averaged out at 4700 new views a day.  80,000 more to be added at least, by the showcase.

60,000 plus the additional views the other thread will get (~5100) is a ~65,000 deficit that needs to be made up.  This thread would need an additional 3824 views a day added on top of the 4700 daily view average (8524 daily view average from here on out).

Sorry, but it is not going to happen.  

Unless................

It's not cloud only. It's an app that you install locally, and everything is handled in the app. That's why they say Game Pass users rather than Game Pass Ultimate users. It's included in all tiers including Core. Pretty much how Nintendo currently handles their classic games on Switch.

Haven't tried Mechwarrior yet. I didn't even know there was a PSX version lol I only ever knew it as a PC franchise till the most recent release a couple years ago. But unfortunately that is the thing with retro games. Controls have not aged well at all lol. I've only played Pitfall so far and it's definitely frustrating.

Well I played before the comment and the game(s) have some lag or feel like they have lag and it always takes a few seconds before you start a game it feels like it is streaming (doesn't help the app + games is relatively small giving the impression of being could based).

Antstream Arcade has a promotion going on 9 Euro/Bucks or whatever for a year on xbox.  

List of games is long: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antstream

Yeah I did notice the lag. Maybe there is streaming going on directly with Antstream's servers for the games and only the app itself is installed? That could be how it's available for all GP tiers.

That's quite the indictment on the platform holders if this is the best we got.

Seems like the best rewards system right now is Epic Games Store lol. Getting 20% back on purchases made through their payment system. Except....it's Epic Games Store

Remaster of Space Marine 1? And day one on Game Pass? Nice.

June is looking like another strong month for Game Pass.
