@MigGui:

Look again some of the games announced will be released in January (Carrion and Road96).

Why would they bother to show them if they were to announce a mid-December line-up?

The same applies to games about to be removed in December.

So for the whole month of December, Ultimate users are getting 3 new games with Gamepass and 1 with EA Play.

This isn't a case of five games; it's three games, with two already on Game Pass, which will become available for the lower tier.

Still no punk frogs :(

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one feeling like Helen Parr from Incredible regarding the visual difference in the parade scene that Cerny is trying to show me.

(It's the scene where the teacher is trying to show Dash caught on tape)

@pandaninja:

Let's play devil's advocate: Why would Paul Tassi release this story and risk losing his job, which surely pays him much more than his X account?

The same applies to IGN and Forbes, who corroborate this story as they validate it with a knowledgeable source that confirms this story.

The story does seem unusual, but it's important to remember that Sony has been misleading in the past like their reasons for not allowing crossplay between Xbox and PlayStation.

I'll review my current backlog of Xbox Studios games.

So, I've finished Hellblade 2, which leaves me with...

Oh, right, nothing!

That's all Microsoft has released since Starfield.

While the competition will offer COD along with a slew of exclusive AA and AAA titles, we Xbox users are left with just COD, as it seems to define the Xbox experience.

Here's a simple idea to get customers: respect them.

Why is Xbox not getting more support? Releasing a big game in December that doesn't qualify for the Game of the Year award doesn't help with awareness and marketing. These are the little things that could boost awareness and help Microsoft raise the profile of their games.

Somehow, some people will find a way to blame Microsoft for this.

This underscores the need for more robust regulations in the digital industry. Digital ownership should be clearly defined at the point of purchase, not buried in a lengthy terms of service agreement. For instance, Sony's Funimation marketed digital movies with the promise of "owning it forever," yet they rescinded all purchases following the acquisition of Crunchyroll and the subsequent closure of Funimation.

I'm not suggesting that digital distribution should last indefinitely, just as physical games depend on functioning consoles and games, but it should be transparent what I am purchasing.
