Clarify what? The only official thing is that they stopped selling the 12 and 6 month subs. Everything else is just speculation from various people. They're not gonna make a statement until they're ready to.

stop being weird, you literally ask if they owned one then got an answer you didnt like. discussion of stuff a company does and has done when trying to decide between platforms is perfectly legitimate.

A handful of games now have an opt-in “allow mods” option in the W10 store that’ll let you download stuff from Nexus or whatever and use them without a fuss. I think it’s a technically a beta of some sort for an expanded program.
FWIW official docs for Xbox on Win10 make it clear to developers that people expect to be able to mod PC games so you should allow for it whenever possible, and that's been in there since before PC GamePass launched.

I know they gave the line "we're pausing and focusing on XSX support" with their backwards compatibility team a few months ago and I hope they have a chunk of new games available soon and it wasn't just an empty PR statement.

Looks like part of this BC rollout involves being able to use your Microsoft credit to buy 360 games.

Since this is a backend update, I wonder if the relisting of some of these games was unintentional.

Aren't the "relisted" games like SH Downpour games that weren't available digitally in the first place? So they shouldn't have even had prices... They were disc only when they went BC.

It's not the first time they've given BC games digital releases after the fact, the Mass Effects were only on disc for a long time. (IIRC.)

TrueAchievements says that Silent Hill Downpour and Deadly Premonition were available in the Microsoft Store at some point.

I agree that it is possible that these games have been relicensed to appear in the store. But the fact it errors out when you try to buy them makes me wonder.

You're right. I successfully bought Downpour right after posting that. Enjoy $20, Konami!

Again, if this is happening, they should really tell retailers because I sold a bunch of 6 and 12 month codes today that all printed off fine from our Microsoft supplier, so those people are gonna be pissed.

I bought deadly premonition digitally so now I can offload this disc copy I've had. Better sell it quick before the price craters or something.

I'll probably grab downpour when it's on sale.

Don't worry I'm sure if they do get rid of it entirely they'll credit anyone who has a future subscription.

The true big brain move is to buy a bunch of 1-year subs as cheap as you can find them and apply them all to your account so that you'll get $300 in credit in a couple months.

Also raises the question of what will happen with existing Ultimate? I guess they are adding streaming to Ultimate but still they are changing that deal if the Gold benefit is going free.

The $5 PC Game Pass is a limited time beta thing, I believe. So Ultimate being Game Pass ($10) + PC Game Pass ($10) + xCloud + Perks for $15 is still a bundle of savings and value-adds.

If they still offer the "upgrade stored Live to Ultimate for $1" just stack up to 36 months (it won't go past 36 months in the future) and do that, I'm Ultimate until 2022 thanks to that and a friend who can get MS store staff discount on Live codes.

I was going to pick up Deadly Premonition but none of these are working (possibly due to Canada?).


EDIT reports are suggesting that in the migration of their backend a few games got relisted accidentally and then taken down again, so SOL if you're late to the party like me.

So if you got lucky buying some of these I assume you get to keep them like if you had originally purchased them a decade ago.

Guess that means my deadly premonition disc is still worth something!

There are suspicions that part of the migration involves killing Xbox 360 consoles' ability to purchase new things. I think it's been three years since the last thing made available for digital download, though.
