GWG continues to be absolutely dire and in need of putting down.

Also, they didn’t even provide some kind of replacement for the two 360 games they removed? Seriously?

RauLeCreuset558d ago

"GWG continues to be absolutely dire and in need of putting down" is the narrative Xbox wants to come out of this.

Orchard558d ago

I think this is the first time in history we actually agree on something :p

Petebloodyonion558d ago

Why would they want that bad press when the competition is offering way better for the same price or even more way better for 0$ on a PC?

It's not like they could justify a price hike when Epic is exactly the same thing as Xbox Gold value for 0$ (Internet, Cloud save, and games offering).

Welshy558d ago

I don't think anyone should be wanting the GWG benefit removed, as above comments said, that's what they want so that they can stop giving games. Players should be pressuring them to improve it/restore it to the value it once had.

I know MS is gamepass on the brain, but that doesn't mean they should get away with stiffing those who still are Gold members only.

Nacho_Z558d ago

Probably getting shut down soon hence the negative comments, it's a free hit. If it was important to MS you wouldn't be seeing that.

What do you mean put down? Make online and cloud saves free and get rid of the free games?

Orchard558d ago

I meant put down like a sick animal :p

Although I do think online play should be free (cloud saves already are) - and if the free games are going to be as garbage as they have been for the past year or more - they can go.

“Also, they didn’t even provide some kind of replacement for the two 360 games they removed?”

Sony didn’t provide replacements for PS3 and Vita games getting removed from PS+

lodossrage557d ago

@FallenAngel,

That's not exactly true, They offer a third ps4 (sometimes ps5 game).

Granted, it's still less considering. But it's not nothing either

FallenAngel1984557d ago

Sure NOW they do, but it sure didn’t start out like that. For many months right after PS3 and Vita got taken off, we often only got 2 PS4 games

lodossrage557d ago

Exactly, NOW they do. They didn't do it immediately

I know everyone thinks MS will scrap the gwg stuff but let's see how it look in a year or so from now. They MIGHT do the smart thing and offer series and better xbone games.

Not holding my breath but I'll give the benefit of the doubt....for now.

Petebloodyonion558d ago

In other news, EPIC Game is giving you for free this week Saturnalia and Warhammer 40 000 Mechanicus, yours to keep forever at 0$
next week, 2 better games, etc.
What's the point of GWG again?

deleted558d ago

GWM more like it; Games with Mold. O,o

Honestly, If I worked presently for Microsoft's gaming division, I would update my CV and look for work elsewhere...

Simon_the_sorcerer2h ago

I would do the same, because MS will most likely pull-off more stunts like this in the near future...
