I'm not preordering anything either, but playing it on gamepass.

Cool link, but again "Bethesda will continue to publish its games" is not the same as "Bethesda can self publish however they like" all that means, is games like Fallout, ES, and other Bethesda games, will not have Microsoft game studios listed as the publisher, but Bethesda Game Studios.
I have been trying to get a second Series X for my bro for weeks, even tried to get the MC edition with perfect failure, i also am in the UK, and the Series X is now more elusive than bigfoot.
I would expect so, seeing as currently Series S is available in some regions where as Series X is borderline impossible to get. I would say let's hold off on what is selling more, until both versions are readily available.
I'm all for grinding, engages you in the game for longer, with a greater sense of accomplishment, nothing worse than finishing a few games and being max level.

You know where i go for a bit of xbox news on here? The failed Xbox one article section.
@Nakiro
"The obvious is NOT to go with PC and Xbox since they share the same games, you can try to spin this however you like but you're defending someone who is either being dishonest in his choices or someone that clearly made a logistical mistake."
Ok so i own a Series X, Xbox One X, Xbox 360, and a gaming PC.
So everyone like me is illogical in their choices because they do not align with yours?
@dbcoops
I have a PC, and also have a Series X, why you ask? because the Series X outputs better performance than my PC currently does, along with having access to games across both platforms.
Like Orchard, games like AOE4 and thousands of other FPS/RTS games, are simply not available on Series or PS, so you play these on PC, then it is just preference on the console platform, Orchard opted for PS5, nothing wrong with that, i opted Series X, again nothing...

"If you have a 3080 PC, surely the logical choice would have been to go with PS5?"
They literally stated the reason for going with the Xbox
"gamepass is the sole reason ive gone series consoles"
So logically, he has opted to sub to Gamepass Ultimate, to get the PC games, along with cloud gaming and Series, and awaiting Sony to put their games on to PC (PSNOW service), to me they have made t...
Personal preference i guess on what to call it, i call it a subscription service, i am not paying each month, to say "rent" Halo Infinite, i am paying each month to have access to the entire catalogue of games, each of which are offered at a reduced price when they are set to leave.
Access to 1st party alone, justifies the price, and these games never leave the service, and are all available day 1 (before you throw Forza into the mix saying "but but but"...
@loveSpuds
Forza 7 has been completely removed from the Microsoft store, not just gamepass, as is standard with the Forza Motorsport franchise, you can not buy it anymore, however if you own it you can still play it till your hearts content.
They were very clear about its store and gamepass removal

"Will all of these have to be re-purchased?"
No, if you own the game already, be that physical or digital, just pop in the disc, or download the game.
Time to dust off the F.E.A.R discs and once again experience the poopy pants jump scares.
Probably most will return when subs increase, so all those that did not have a sub the first time around, will download and play this time around.
@isarai
"and while MS owns Bethesda's parent company, Bethesda themselves can still self publish however they like"
Lol, your kidding yourself right? Bethesda can not just publish however they like, sure they will have free reign to create whatever games they decide to, but Microsoft will ultimately decide on the release platforms, Microsoft own Bethesda, they fund Bethesda, Bethesda can not just say
"hey we have thi...
Not entirely true, if a game suffers from development troubles, then the release is indeed getting farther away, what is known as "a delay".
Really? please share so i can check them out...
@CBaoth
"Xbox gamers don't buy games"
False, i have just bought Diablo 2 resurrected for full price
I think you mean, the physical release only had a standard edition?
The standard version had a physical and a digital release.

"cutting out 50%-plus of your potential market is a stupid, stupid move that they're not going to do."
Microsoft's "potential" market, is not PS5 and Switch gamers, but more-so the billions of gamers across mobile/tablet and PC, they can afford to lose all the "50%" of console gamers if they capture 50% of the mobile/PC market, which is millions upon millions larger than all consoles combined.
