The listings will be a little wonky for the next 2 months. Lots of 1st party, bigger content so the rest of the drops are going to be lighter. They probably wanted to count it as part of drop 1 to make it more appealing since you don't need to list 2 big full price games on the 2nd drop, so it probably just barely made the cutoff. And we know December is likely to get just 1 drop, since they do that every year, so letting you know in advance that it will likely happen again. After Stalker 2 and whatever else, we'll get 1 drop in Dec with Indiana Jones and whatever else.

But yeah, usually it's just 1 drop every 2 weeks. The onslaught of larger games is just requiring a tiny bit of tweaking on how they list it.
Makes sense. But that's just your guess, right? A possibility.

Another possibility is that Stalker 2 might be getting delayed, which is why it is not on that list. I merely mentioned that possibility - didn't make a definite claim - but not sure why you implied that I was being disingenuous?

Anyway, none of us knows.

For the sake of devs, I hope Stalker 2 isn't delayed. They've suffered enough.

I'm just guessing. I just think it's a big stretch to think it's getting delayed when it's launching in 2 weeks. I think it's 100% coming out. They've delayed previously and we had a lot more advance notice. If you genuinely believe that's likely, then that's fine. I just honestly thought that was a huge stretch. Anyway we'll see.

If your guess is right, I'll have to wear some clown avatar or some shit. That would genuinely shock me lol.

Flight Sim is one of the reasons why I upgraded to a 3080 back in 2020. I hope it’s still powerful enough for FS24 in VR.

A very teeny tiny possibility, of course.

No need for that. As I said, we're all just mentioning the different possibilities why it's not there and why MSFS is.

Maybe it is just as simple as them separating the two games so they could feature each of them in the headlines.

Only if you would have actually bought those games full priced. (Ignoring the fact that you're only renting them and they are gone when you stop renting them or they are taken off the service).

Glad you already acknowledged games drop in price.
Even if you don't renew after that one year, the games you had on the service would then be much cheaper at retail.

Flight Sim low-key has a much bigger audience than a lot of us realize.
I think it was said they sold 15mil copies of MSFS20 since release in 2020. And this "game" is not exactly cheap. (however compared to other sims like DCS it is)

I don't know why so many are laughing about Goat Simulator, GS3 is my 8yo son and his friends favorite game right now. They're all super excited about the remaster.

Tried to install Starcraft and of course, there is some issue between Battlenet and Gamepass now so it does not work and even Diablo 4 which I have installed and worked normally in the past does not work now, acting like I do not own it. In the connections page of BNET account I can see my xbox is linked there, but if I click on it, it says status "inactive" eventhough my gamepass sub is active until 2027. If I try to click disconnect (so I can reconnnect the link) it says there will be 1 year period of not possibility to link, WTF? So I did not click it.

Any ideas?

Kinda amazing how eventhough Activision Blizzard Retard is now part of MS, everything about them both is still fucking terrible. From the CoD's disgusting HQ platform that requires multiple restarts every time I want to play BLOPS6, to this Blizzard fuckery, to gamepass randomly not working properly. Stupid fucking microsoft.
