Is this for the thread comments or the article comments?

Oh yeah my bad article :)

I like that :)

If accepted I would say 154 (including the most downvoted one at the bottom from the same guy who always posts shit in every Xbox article, and I predict more than 25 downvotes!), if rejected, omg, this will be a shit show lol probably close to 300!

Games leaving gamepass soon (on the 30th)

  • Tetris Effect: Connect
  • Dragon Quest Builders 2
  • Destroy All Humans!
  • Unsouled
  • Bugsnax

Another SE leaves, Powerwash the only SE game left?

I'm interested in Destroy all humans and Bugsnax, might try to get em done before they leave.

Started DQ B2, it was okay but I never got fully into it probably wont bother returning

Waste of money.  PS already reaping all the rewards without doing it, plus they can always distance themselves if need be.

This is from April 5th, but it's new:

Microsoft/Activision Blizzard: Buyer Expands EC Cloud Remedy as CMA Talks Continue - The Capitol Forum

Microsoft is said to have broadened a remedy offered to the European Commission in connection with the company's proposal to buy ABK for $68,7 billion. The commission is seeking third party feedback on the expanded offer. The change is said to relate to the ability of customers to download video games from the… (Paywalled)

It seems to imply that after the initial feedback, the EC wanted to expand the cloud remedy to also include a right to download a game, not just to stream it.

In fact, if the cloud remedy offered to the CMA is the same one offered to the EC, MS never mentions the option to dowload the game. They only talk about a: "Streaming right granted to consumers in respect of the Eligible Games".

So, maybe the cloud remedy also includes the possibility to download the games now.

I'm wondering how that would even work? They'd have to be able to download their games onto a wide variety of Mobile and TV devices, it could only be realistic for PC only. Also, if you can download a game to play it then it doesn't really feel like Cloud Gaming anymore, Lol.

How would that even work? They'd have to be able to download their games onto Mobiles, TVs, etc, Lol.

If you can download a game to play it then it's not really Cloud streaming anymore either.

Must be for PC streaming only, and only then if you have both the PC specs and the storage space to download it. No way a smart TV or mobile phone would have specs needed to run the vast majority of Gamepass games, and Smart TV would struggle with storage space as well. Or maybe this is about Switch 2, maybe they are requiring native Switch 2 ports of ABK games with the ability to download them to Switch 2 from xCloud.

Xbox - Original - Valve - Activision - Activision - Activision - Xbox - Activision - Xbox - Original - Xbox - Xbox - Xbox - Xbox - Xbox - Activision - Original - Xbox - Activision - Bethesda - 2K Games - Wargaming - Wargaming - Xbox - Blizzard - Blizzard - Blizzard - Activision - Amazon - Xbox - Warner Bros - Warner Bros - ?

Don't see why Microsoft can't acquire Certain Affinity now Tbh. Activision-Blizzard has made acquisitions during the process, even Bethesda has, I can't see why regulators would give a damn about Certain Affinity who are 98% a support studio to others, a large part towards Xbox owned studios, and never made a well known original IP.

Will have to assume they simply don't want them if an acquisition doesn't happen this year.
