Xbox Game Pass

[gwTheo]

The flack this game is getting from people just buying it on steam alone is so pathetic. Just in case nobody knew this on steam, you can get it on the xbox game pass for, most likely, 1 dollar for a month then 5 dollars after that and you get a ton of games.

its on purpose for crossplay between console, microsoft app, and steam.

it's also a honeypot to groom children into believing Microsoft store is a wonderful ecosystem. Sure worked for Epic when the millenials wouldn't stop whining about it. Besides Microsoft tried this already with its intrusive Games For Windows LIVE a decade ago, it was so bad it actually encouraged piracy just to make games playable. Promising crossplay achieves and to play with Xbox 360 players, did anyone care? No, there was a reason people bought computers then and now.

Again, back to Angry Joe's last 10 minutes of his video they bought it twice trying to get it to work on a single computer it burns account info deeper than Denuvo. They say the same thing happened with Sea Of Thieves, and with Microsoft Store if something goes wrong there's no customer protection it's pay up again hoping it works. Bad Business.

Linus also did a video on how horrible UWP gamewalls are.

"Honeypot to groom children" lmao

You need to get a grip on what is important in life. What application we use to play video games is not it, and Valve/GOG are not your friends. They just are older marketplaces that you are more comfortable with. UWP is also something that has allowed Xbox exclusives to run immediately on PC with limited issues. You don't have to play these games, no one does, they are entertainment products. Move along to another entertainment product and enjoy your life rather than ♥♥♥♥♥ and moan about how unfair it is that corporations are looking out for their business interests. Christ.

The Xbox live login isn't needed for crossplay. There are games on PC already doing crossplay with console players and no additional login is required.

It wasn't that long ago when Microsoft tried the same pursuation tactic of Cross Play with it's Microsoft Store excluuuusive Quantum Break. I never played it all I remember is the year following hate. Steering clear of clickbait youtubers on the subject now, I even see The Escapist video hating on the store, delivery, and intrusive anti-piracy measures that rendered game useless to purchases calling them pirates. This was 4 years ago not ancient history.

Now that it is on Steam, I browse through those community threads with angry customers.

UWP isn't good dude. Even Epic CEO was in the news back then about their Gears of War PC release condeming Microsoft and their UWP.

$30 here for demo, $1 microsoft store. Bait and switch. It's been debated countless times, people pride their steam library for achievements and established friends, alternate stores takes that pride away.

The amount of money you could save by playing the games available for a low cost a month instead of out right buying them is less important than your friends and achievements on steam?

Man do I have my priorities messed up.

sorry OP, loads of steam people are playing on steam because they are pc gamers, so not everyone wants or needs to play on a console.

i wouldnt give a cent to xbox, sorry.

Xbox Game Pass for PC does not require a console. It's $1 for the first month, $5 a month after and you have access to all the games in the gamepass library. And it's expansive.

Just in the 5-10 games I've played on it this year game pass has paid for itself for many years to come.

no thanks, i would rather pay the money and have the game, not pay to rent a game that could be removed from xbox live when ever it wants.

as well, i dont play games on console i play games on pc, so i dont need xbox live BS on my pc.

that being said, subscription services have always been and always will be garbage, when it comes to games.

What games from a year ago do you still play today? How many did you play more than 5 hours? How many have seen deep discounts since you purchased them?

[Kerb]

do you need the ultimate gamepass or will just the cheaper PC one work?

If i understand right from reading Microsoft-Page and SteamUsers

1)Xbox Pass for PC is in Beta,first month 1Euro,then 3,99Euro each Month. After Beta(whenever it is??) 9,99Euro each month and you can cancel your membership each month.

2)it doesn't need Xbox Live on PC to play online with friends.

3)You need an App for it to download which is integrated in Windows-Store.

4)You can play over 100 good games and test it there... Some games leave, some will come new

Well,that sounds like a great Deal with Grounded, State of Decay 2,Gears of War..... And much more

What's your opinion? That Question goes to people who have experience with that pass. Any negative???

You're incorrectg. All you need is a microsoft login which you probally have.

if not, just make one for free and make a gamer tag and you're done. When you start the game login and whamm, never have to do to it again especially if on windows 10. I cant tell for windows 7. Support for 7 dropped 8 months ago.

This isnt opinionated. This is streight up facts

The only reason would need the microsoft store app is if you actually wanted to get benefits like use of the xbox game pass to play play anywhere titles. (which again, dodnt require any subscription thats paid, to play online).

AngryJoe isnt really tech savvy. If he has conflicts on one his 20+ computers because different people use it, thats on him, not on xbox.

It doesnt force xbox live at alll.

If you want to play coop.. you have NO choice but to pay rent to microsoft.. So Yes, actually it does.

You keep saying this, but it isn't true. Playing co-op doesn't require you to pay any more money than either buying the game or paying for the game pass. It literally doesn't cost you anything other than that. I've played Sea of Thieves with friends and don't pay for XBox Gold. So maybe you should educate yourself before shooting your mouth off.

Hi,
But if you only want to play on solo only (don't care about the multi), do you absolutely need the Xbox Live account or not ?

Wish I could upvote. The game for PC multi-player requires zero money outside of purchasing the game. Requiring a Microsoft account the same way EA games/Origin/Ubisoft require a secondary login. If you are a PC player you require zero extra money to play online. I played with a friend all night last night, no issues at all.
