As of late, a great amount of Microsoft Points have been readily available online for 40% off. Where are these points coming from? Are they obtained by legal means? Xbox Insider's Tamizander takes a deeper look into the mystery of Microsoft Points on the cheap.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
That was an excellent read :) It all does seem a bit fishy, but as you said; It's very unlikely a code generator is being used. There is an even shadier method people are using to flog huge amounts of MS points (I’m talking 10,000 to 20,000 at once), phishing. People hack others account with a credit card on them, change the gamertags name, password and email, and buy huge amounts of points. I’ve seen 20,000 point accounts being sold for as low as £15. The user simply downloads what they want on the account, and then deletes it from their hard drive, the games remain and the account is gone. Shady stuff indeed.
