Heads up, everyone. The conversion (EA Play to GPU) is now just 2 months, not 4 months as it was before. MS/Xbox didn't make any announcement about this AFAIK.

Time to grow up and lay off the infantile console wars.

That really was weird by Xbox. I mean no announcements, let alone a 7-day or 10-day warning beforehand. Instead, they just sneakily edited the text on their website, and that's it.

If someone bought the EA Play card specifically for this purpose and converted them to GPU the next day, he could have (and some likely would have) got fu*ked by this, because there was no warning or announcement.

Sorry, that's consumer friendly. Gamepass is so amazing uncle Phil just wants you to get MORE of it.
 
So much concern. There really should be medals for you concernolympians. And of course you have the obvious one reacting to everything slightly anti Xbox.

I'm pretty sure the reason for this is that most of the money for those EA Play Codes goes to EA so they wanted that loophole closed. Sill enough ways to get GP cheaper if 13,- isn't already cheap enough.

Hmm .. was it also EA that forced MS to not give a prior warning or even make an announcement to inform their consumers about the updated policy? 🤔
 
It's okay. I understand because I know you have the gold medal for defending corporations at the expense of gamers. Well deserved, my friend!
Please point out where I defend any corporation. I just have empathy for people that have so much concern. Maybe open a thread or better a PSA and share your concern so more people can be concerned. Maybe you'll even get gold from the dealer for your hard concern work and rise up in the warrior ranks.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.


SnowRunner coming to Game Pass tomorrow.

Use the report button if you think someone is really just here to stir shit up. Not saying it'll accomplish anything but at least you tried.

I just got no man's sky and I notice it entered gamepass last June. Will this be taken off shortly do you think?

Not quite sure how it works as I’m certain some games haven’t been there for six months unless the time goes that fast I don’t realise it. Have the KH games been on for a year already seeing as they are going soon?

I was literally waiting for the option to buy the game came available on Steam, and saw someone mention the game had just released on Gamepass.
Had zero idea it was even coming to Gamepass, so a very nice surprise!. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

It also has a 50% off option if you want to buy the game, and as we have no buy option on Steam yet, dont know if Steam will have the same 50% off option when it goes live in about 11 hours.

So just a heads up for PC Gamepass users.

Just played an hour of it. Very fun, and something different lol.
I'm very much engrossed in Mass Effect mode though (finished ME1, half way through ME2), so i will come back to this after finising ME.

Sped through The Gardens Between, Subnautica and Doghnut County for the 10k reward/gamer score challenge. They were all actually pretty fun games too. Going to complete Doom 64 as one last quick 1k job and then finish off with a leisurely play through of Celeste.

I enjoyed both The Gardens Between and Doughnut County. They were fun little games.
 
I started Octopath Traveller last month after reading that it was a 40 hour long game. I’m at 110 hours wrapping up the side quests. I’m really enjoying it but I was not expecting it to be this long at all.

What time is it?

I finished it via PS+. It's a decent time but really overstays its' welcome.

My latest Gamepass adventures:

-Finished Outriders: Speaking of overstaying your welcome. The last two bosses are absolute dogshit. The loot system (perks, modification and upgrade) are the standouts of an otherwise forgettable game.
-Zombie Army: Thank you for making me miss my time with Outriders.
-MechWarrior 5: MW2 & 3 are some of my fondest gaming memories. Something just seems off about MW5. I think the starting Mech choices don't do the game any favors (Shadowcat/Thor) would have been a much better combo. Playing the game also gave me a headache. The game is also lacking any type of artistry and just looks ugly. I'm also not sure why they felt the need to model and have you roam around in your ship. That should have been menu driven. Sadness.

Tomorrow we should be getting the first drop of June
I don't expect much. I think they will hold some announcements back for thier E3 show.

With an available now or available tomorrow tag.

And we still won't be able to talk about them here. 😅

What are the rules for Xbox this E3 since many of the game announcements are going to include the word Gamepass in them?

Is Xbox E3 contained to this thread?

Some clarity would be nice, so people aren't scrambling day of trying to figure out the rules.


I mean a thread was just locked today for simply asking how you measure Xbox games success with Gamepass.

Yes, Xbox E3 must be contained entirely to the Gamepass thread.

Now let me escort you to this lovely padded room where nothing will ever hurt you again.
It's not me that's butthurt about the word Gamepass in the title of a thread. 😅

I just wanted to make sure we had a clear outline before it happens, because there are a few around here that get very upset when those 2 words are used in conjunction.
