So they finally found a way to get Rockstar into game pass.

here's your starfield marketing bro

 

[Gaelyon]

"Trash food for .....* games from a .....* company"

* Choose correctly :

- trash
- amazing
- struggling
- neat
- Geoff Keighley's favorite

 

[X-Wing]

Offering Game Pass with Springles didn't make the subscription count go up enough...
Gotta help the rampant morbid obesity in the USA grow even more!
Maybe Microsoft is being paid by companies that manufacture coronary stents.

[Barakov]

I'm going to go eat some fruit.

 

[Drell]

Doesn't help the fat american dudebro image the xbox brand has in my head.

 

[StueyDuck]

Sneaky... get them to sub, give them a heart attack, can't cancel sub.

Genius really. Uncle Phil making the moves

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Good God... they have brought back the Unholy Trio that destroys teens, children, pre-teens and uncaring adults.

[Hollowpoint5557]

I'm guessing you can't redeem the gamepass if you've been subscribed before. First time users only type thing.

 

[Dick Jones]

Why is the marketing well after the game is out? Aaron, you keep outdoing yourself.

 

[Mephisto40]

Fuck off Microsoft

 

[Katatonic]

They know their audience.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Doritos Pope vindicated

 

[Thirty7ven]

Very closely aligned brands

 

[Porticus]

How to flush the value of your brand in the toilet.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Even fucking McDonald’s have salad and other “healthy” options, can’t partner with them? Need to scrape the bottom, eh?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I'm proud

 

[PanzerCute]

Shame, I was eagerly waiting for a new jacket for my controller.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

So you can get gamepass from your cellphone company, the purchase of a gaming laptop or video card, using Bing, and now snakes.

Sounds like a successful service.

 

[Pallas]

Some of ya’ll want to burn Microsoft for this but they aren’t the only gaming company that does this.

Activision is very notorious for this, with CoD. Sony had a few ps5 giveaway contests with junk food. Hell Nintendo of Mexico partnered with Doritos once for a 3DS give away.

Maybe one day Microsoft will partner with Dole to give out codes with banana purchases.

 

[GHG]

If this is all Senjutsu eats then everything makes sense.

 

[Virex]

Needs more gamer fuel

 

[Hudo]

This "food" should be illegal.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Congrats! You won a denim skirt for your Redfall avatar!

Edit: Actually I just remembered I bought a bag of Doritos for walking tacos, and it had an Xbox code on it. Maybe I’ll win something!

 

[Soltype]

Is everybody hating on snack food/soda or M$?

 

[Walter Matthau]

When did the whole Mountain Dew + Doritos + games synergy become a thing?

I lived through the era when soda was still somewhat popular and don’t recall anyone ever having Mountain Dew at their house.

 

[SmokedMeat]

 

[Draugoth]

I think i will grab the doom eternal one.

Bizarre they have DLC for Redfall in this

 

[El Muerto]

Playstation and Activision have done similar promotions, this isnt an Xbox thing.

 

[fart town usa]

Disgusting.

Please don't eat trash on the regular Gaf. Try to treat your body/health with some respect.

 

[Soltype]

Are you in the US? We used to chug mountain dew/Jolt/Surge at gaming parties.I remember people started drinking Bawls , but that trend didn't last too long.

[JTCx]

The right snacks to devour in between those load screens.

takes me back to peak Xbox 360 Halo 3/Gears 2 comfy times.

Too bad the games are not as good.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner right there.

I know many will think you are a hater for this comment, but I'm starting to agree. This looks WAAAY too desperate

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

should have been monster instead of rockstar

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

We all owe Geoff a huge apology. He was ahead of all of us.

People don't often give away things of value.

GTA and Red Dead have cycled in and out of Game Pass multiple times

I know you're joking but... can't help but be that guy

 

[Dacvak]

Ah yes, the Holy Trinity of gaming snacks.

I won a free month of Game Pass (shocker) off my Doritos bag from walking tacos night. Anyways I’m happy since I haven’t had GP since the $1 promos.

Downloading Starfield, Redfall (gotta see this disaster), Warhammer Darktide (on my wishlist), and Hi Fi Rush for starters. Also wanna try Lies of P, Everspace 2, and Atomic Heart. For a free month, I’m making out.

Also getting a nice month of extra Microsoft Rewards points.
