I am still hoping Microsoft is going to do something about HoTs. This is, by far, the game I play (still today) the most and so much better than DOTA 2 or LOL.
I would love them to pick it up and add Xbox heroes / maps to it, it would be so amazing...

But won't happen :(

Never say never! It's insane how much support the game already has had since going under the Xbox umbrella. Now with Doom Slayer being featured in THPS 3+4, there's certainly a lot of room for more cross collaboration between studios

Agreed though at how much fun HoTs is. It's nowhere near as deep as Dota 2 or LoL, but that's also what makes it more fun. Straightforward presentation for anyone to be able to pick up and play without having to learn hundreds of different items and combinations to use lol.

Definitely, when I say better, I mean the gameplay in general and the easy to get in. DOTA 2 and LOL (esp. with items + runes, etc...) is just crazy for new players right now. Also stuff like having team XP versus individual, makes it so much more fun. In LOL, as soon as someone fed a bit, you can almost be certain to lose the game (which is why they have a "Surrender" :)). You can come back from anywhere in Heroes, which is really what I love

Why did Xbox remove the BC games list from the Xbox store? I cannot find where they are listed in the store anymore. I know they're still there, but I want to browse all of them at once, and it's just gone. I got all this bullshit of games we picked for you. blah blah sale. Where the fuck did it go?

1) Nobody cares so they removed it.

2) They are going to merge it with a classics list that is going to be full with games that were never on xbox.

Advent Rising btw is an xbox bc game that never was on sale so far and is now 2.99 just a heads up for the ones who collect those like me.

Yo, what is Coalition cooking up with Epic on E-Day?!?!? Seeing that Witcher 4 showcase got me wondering.

LOL Klob wondering the same thing. Now I'm really hoping to see E-Day on Sunday!

Looks further North than most of Witcher 3's map locations. Kovir and Poviss maybe, considering the abundance of evergreen trees, snow, and rocky, craggy mountains with rust colored sections (Iron deposits perhaps). Kovir is described as heavily mountainous in the books, with an abundance of mines.

I see they listened to the criticisms of Ciri looking less attractive than in Witcher 3 in the teaser trailer, now she looks older but with the same general facial proportions as in Witcher 3:

Link to prove "nobody cares" and that's why they removed it? It's stupid to remove a basic function of the store.
