In a late night surprise, it appears that some users are reporting that Dead Island 2 has been stealth dropped on Xbox Game Pass.
Instead of helping the developers and publishers recuperate development and marketing costs by buying the games you are interested in so that they can keep creating new games in the future, you place the burden on PS and PC gamers (who actually buy games) to fund the game development.
That is Game Pass in a nutshell.
Valve gave this game away for free last week. You need to go after them?
You realize MS pays the devs to get the game on GP right?
Sony is offering a service where games that are past their self life can generate more income. That's not Sony's main strategy for games and gamers.
Game Pass is for many developers/publishers the only CHANCE to even make SOME money on Xbox platform. Xbox's main strategy is Game Pass, and Xbox gamers don't buy games the same way PS and PC players do, and that is not sustainable.
Yeh, I checked that (sad face). Only option for PC gamers with Ultimate is to cloud stream.
It's on torent sites though so if you want it free like most xbox users just get it there
Free? Pretty sure I pay a monthly subscription to access the games.
Nah, I'm good on that man. I used to torrent games when I was younger, not anymore though. Not trying to get my $2000 PC infected with malware. Plus, I've got a decent job so I can afford to buy my games/subscriptions.
LIcensing to include PC is much more expensive than just console. Especially for a non-GaaS game.
But they want to grow gamepass on PC so really they should still try and license both it's not uncommon however e.g. red dead redemption 2, GTA v both came to console gamepass and xcloud but not PC.
LAME article and has the author ever heard of spell checker?
That being said, I really hope Dead Island 2 is as much fun as DI & DIR was.
Great team. Great cast. I'm excited.
Doubt it gona suck but why wont they show us some footage of the actually game.
The only thing that matters is if you like it, for me is 9.0 out of 10 end of story
Both were good i mean they had problems but that's where a sequel can learn from its predecessors's mistakes, fix them and even improve upon them.
