Whatever happened to the whole "Activision games on Gamepass" hype?

[Incarnate]

I kept reading for months that the Call of Duty games and other obscure stuff like Singularity was supposed to come to Xbox after the Microsoft-Activision deal ... and then nothing.

It's BO6 and MW3? That's it?

so it just offers bad games now?

I mean how much can you hype yourself to play a game published by Activision?

Not everything is on gamepass for instance Bethesda/Zenimax most games are on gamepass, but ESO isn't.

edit at least not the pc versions

Its indie games, old AAA titles and newer filler games (some are AAA inhouse)

Well, to be fair MS and Activision don't have stellar records for their competence or diligence.

But more than this, it doesn't mean that they'll appear all at once otherwise that'd defeat the point of a service like GamePass.

They're likely trickling things to the nth degree.

I was curious to play a couple games I skipped that I heard were great. Mostly CoD 2, World at War, etc. And I'm not shelling out ten dollars during a sale for a twenty-year-old game with dead MP and a seven-hour campaign. That's insane.

Fair enough, I can only see as someone who has played both games when they were still new.

I was mainly talking about their newer games.

An understandable reaction. Warzone looks horrible.

Hyped for gamepass?? That makes no sense, why'd any sane rational human being be excited for a subscription service?

If you want to see if you'd like a game or not go watch gameplay or reviews.

'Tosses gamepass in the trash'

Lol. You don't need to actually give them money.

You can play hundreds of overpriced games for free, and use it as a kind of demo to see if new games are worth purchasing. I've gotten probably five or six free promo offers. Even if you subscribed, you just cancel before the month ends, and pay nothing. I'm shocked more people don't know this basic exploit.

The real problem is that there are rarely any updated games or a good selection.
