It's predictable because you're boring and a shill.

Anyone with your post history calling anyone else a shill or ambassador is the epitome of clueless-ness or wilful ignorance :sneaky:

Good. August if the month of EVO. It would be nice to do something similar with fighting games: announce at EVO that in the following months starting this August Extra and Premium will feature a shit ton of fighting games.

PS. You need Premium to play the three games in the middle. This tier system is terrible lol. These games all have PS4 versions, should be in Extra at most.
The 'rule' (there are several exceptions) is that PS4 or PS5 versions of remasters/remakes/ports of games originally released in PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP or PS Vita go in Premium. Games originally released on PS4 and PS5 (or a few remakes and remasters) go in Extra.

Ah so Premium isn't just extra "classic" games?

They didn't really make that very clear in their marketing did they?

They're counting the 3 Yakuza games as classics because they had PS3 versions originally, even though PS4 remasters exist.

Which makes little sense because Yakuza 0 and Kiwami also had PS3 ports (in Japan).

The 'rule' (there are several exceptions) is that PS4 or PS5 versions of remasters/remakes/ports of games originally released in PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP or PS Vita go in Premium. Games originally released on PS4 and PS5 (or a few remakes and remasters) go in Extra.


It is an entirely arbitrary and nonsensical hierarchy system.

What a huge blow to Gamepass, seems like the Yakuza games were one of the best things going on with that service.

In less then 2 months Jimbo completely nuked the whole "best deal in gaming" narrative.
Can’t see MS recovering from that. The “best deal in gaming” motto is nowhere to be seen anymore in forums and social media.
GP marketing was relentlessly killed.

I wonder how Phil will manage to keep stringing Nadella along.

What else can Phil promise at this point? Day one games, aggressive deals, trials, PC, cloud, perks, buying entire publishers and now they are even embarassed to share the number of subscribers on their report.

The other day I was watching Formula 1 and noticed a PC Gamepass add printed on a car, the length they go to try and push this is unbelievable, all for very unimpressive result.

You should look outside of this echo chamber forum then :sneaky:
With only you and @Bernd Lauert as MS ambassadors, I wouldn't call it an echo chamber....yet. If you manage to convince Riky to join you guys, maybe we can reconsider it.

@DarkMage619 I haven't forgotten you, don't worry. But I know you're feeling alone currently without your better half, that's why I asked the other two to invite him here.
Or maybe it's because your Series S defence wasn't needed yet.

Its funny because after the yakuza deal a lot of xbox fans swore this was the jumping off point to sega completely getting into bed with microsoft and that an acquisition was around the corner.

Turns out sega just likes money. Everything that has come to gamepass outside of microsoft first party games (heh) will come to ps plus.

Only delusional people believe MS will be able to buy any big Japanese publisher.

And so what if they buy them? They would kill it in no time. Look at the history Xbox has with Japanese games or even third-party deals, it's flop after flop after flop.

Like Sony did with Japan studio ? I hope not. 🤔

Tango Gameworks seems to be doing well under the first party banner. Now that they're done with Ghostwire, hopefully they're working on Evil Within 3.
