The End of Games With Gold Signals a Step Away From Ownership

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. In a time where you struggle to hear the word “free” commercially, Microsoft’s Games with Gold being a part of their Xbox Live Gold service served as a light in the dark for players interested in trying their hand at something different without a financial commitment. Alas, the time for that light to shift colors and go dim has finally come.

Hows that when you never owned the games included with GWG to begin with, as soon as you're no longer subscribed you lose access to them.

coolbeans707d ago

Only half true. All 360 games you got under GWG, as long you selected & downloaded them, are permanently owned by that Gold account - even if you drop XBL Gold later.

The shovelware Microsoft puts out for them Gold subs in truth isn't nor was it they at any point worth "owning".....so there's that! Microsoft is running out of shoveware to use for Gold program as the pool of Shovelware after years of Gold use is smaller so in an effort for Microsoft to continue to use these shovelware games Microsoft needs to end the Gold Sub service because they refuse to put better games on the service so now these shovelware games will be Game Pass bound.

The shovel ware they include in Gamepass is just as bad for sure, but that's all they have I guess :)

Not gonna say anything. Xbox fans want things done their way, so let them dig their own graves. Done trying I help them

Without financial commitment? What? You had to pay for the service.

[Sorry for late response.]

You have to take the whole sentence in context. The writer is framing that part for someone who was paying for Gold already. Now on top of just enjoying online & some discounts, a random 360 game that they might've never heard before was also awarded on top. Thus, owning said game where they didn't have to directly pay for it.

Same logic can apply to Xbox One titles on there, but that's more of a 'premium rental' you lose once dropping Gold.

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.

Spirit of the North 2 review - Not Capturing the Spirit | TechStomper

"Spirit of the North 2 ultimately falls flat as a sequel, delivering an OK story and middling gameplay with a noticeable lack of polish."
