1. i feel like MS is really vulnerable to a lawsuit with all the "play it day-1" marketing when what you actually get is to play it on day 6.

2. i feel like MS's value prop for day-1 games on gamepass is really diminished by the "...but you have to pay $30 to get the full game" strategy they is clearly becoming the trend of MS's major releases.   i get why MS can't actually give you full games for free on gamepass and actually make a profit but the whole thing feels shady to me.  gamepass = demopass.

Saw that coming from a mile away. As most of us always thought, if gamepass was actually a subscribe and play model then microtransactions would be free on it.

I don't mind the -5 days though. It's lame but non gamepass games are doing that too. Not getting the starfield expansion however sucks.

show is live!

[Legend]

hopefully we get more avowed, lots of mixed reactions

[Legend]

avowed confirmed, new games confirmed

[Legend]

wonder what they learned from the base game. Cyberpunk 2077 was broken to its core and I'd only expect the expansion to give it a new coat of paint

[Legend]

I made chicken nuggets for the nuggets. yum. Don't even need sauce

[Legend]

Cyberpunk 2077 is pro terrorist. I still don't understand that

[Legend]

high on life dlc announced, high on knife

[Legend]

boring avowed talk, not helping at all. Sounds just like a reskinned outer worlds. Fine, but far from awesome

[Legend]

oh no, towerborne is live service

[Legend]

fallout 76 having some audio glitches

[Legend]

I think this show format is the winner. Would still love live audience reactions, but this way trailer nerds get a trailer show and the rest of us that care can have talking in the second show

[Legend]

phasmophobia coming to consoles. Why was this a serious trailer? I thought the game was a joke and fun because of how bad it is
