weird promises are being made 

Just always feel like ya’ll undermine your journalistic integrity by peddling pandering statements like this. It’s not weird, Boosteroid are the biggest third party clould platform. Like I get it that most of the gaming world seems oblivious to them, but you as a journalist are not. So…

It worked as of one month ago. A friend did it in Feb. Unfortunately I am unsure if it still functions right this moment.

Yeah the wording of that statement is very obtuse.

The method I used was to buy three years worth of gold, and then one month of Game Pass ultimate which converts all the gold into ultimate 1:1. All other game pass subs must be expired first to do that. Last time I did that it cost me around $100, when it comes up in September it looks to be around $160 for the three…

Mine only expires in September. So hoping its all still functioning so I can re-up for another 3 years. But one of my besties did this last month, so as of February it was still working 1:1.

Check above for a slightly better deal you can get on Game Pass.

You can do cheaper than that with the Gold to Ultimate conversion rate. They used to tell you how to do it on the Xbox site. But essentially once your game pass is expired (having no active subs is criticial), you then can purchase up to 3 years of Gold, then you purchase one month of Ultimate and it converts all the…

Well this is gonna depend on how your search went. We’re either talking about a racial slur, or a mental health slur. Linus was referring to the mental health slur, while using a term to describe that usage that is in general only associated with the racial slur.

To be honest the way they speak about problems they ahve it often seems like this is not the case. Like its more vague, they have a secretary they can contact or something.

Sony’s acquisitions has come in response to MS really.

This so much.

Funnily enough, I am really looking forward to this whereas I couldn’t be any less interested in Suicide Squad v Justice League. Despite them having some overlap. I just expect, based on Arkane’s track record, that Redfall will be more restrained in its looting aspects.

To this day i never understand the left 4 dead thing. I mean I understand why commenters and average joes might thing that because journalists kept saying “is it like left for dead” while doing their best Tucker Carlson confused face impression, but the game never presented as that. It just looked like Borderlands…

I agree with you. But the part from rogueindy I think is good, is that we actually should adjust the way we speak to convey the truth of it. Yeah I’m not running a talley on every game I play on game pass. But I really should think of it, and vocalise it as free, because that isn’t the truth of it either.

I mean to be fair, he didn’t lie. He just said the part that sounds nice and didn’t say the part people didn’t want to hear.

Exactly this. People just inventing stuff out of all the negative space in their statements. Like don’t do that. 

Microsoft just did what they kept saying they wouldn’t do in order to convince people they should be allowed to buy Activision. GG, MS.

They wont. Phil has been explicit that he doesn’t care about whether Sony signs a deal or not. Their plan is to treat everything under the COD banner like the way they do Minecraft, where there is no deal in place but they ship platform parity, and they ship all the spin off games there too under no obligation. Those…

People’s reading comprehension will always be a problem. When corporate is speaking you must read what is written, not what you hope those words to mean. 

Also worth mentioning tha tin the last few years MS went through the trouble of getting many older FF games ported to Xbox, at one point they made a big push to have many of them on Game Pass. So actually the majority of FF games recent and historic are available on Xbox.

Side bar: Lets not mention how easy emulation…
