I always wondered why only Skate 3 was available on EA Play. I'm glad the first one is coming, I hope they also put Skate 2 in the next months, that's the one I really wanted to replay.

Exited for Katamari!

But meh for Hades cause it has no cross save support and what do I want with Skate when Skate 3 has a 4K patch?

Maaan I hope indies are getting something out of being on Game Pass. When I think of a game like Dodgeball Academia it just makes me think of a starry eyed indie dev getting swindled.

I get the idea of "play free game, new game comes out, buy new game", I'm just wondering if that's how it's shaken out.

Woo solitaire :P

That's an alright drop especially with Codemasters joining EA Play.

The game is also on other plattforms.

Never played a katamari game but I've been kinda curious, if anything cause it's one of those games that get hyped in the Era bubble (which I must be honest doesn't represent my taste but whatev). Might give it a try, if NMS would kindly give me some space here

you think microsoft is putting the games on gp without telling the devs or something

all the reports of indie games on gp so far have been overwhelmingly positive

Oh neat, Starmancer is a fun little RimWorld/Dwarf Fortress type game. Being on Gamepass at its Early Access launch is a good get for them.

Are you kidding me? That indie dev is probably making more than they ever would've dreamed of making if they didn't get that Game Pass deal.

I'm guessing Skate 2, the best Skate, is stuck in licensing limbo forever? It's not backwards compatible yet.

Nice to see 1 and 3 though.

Most indies appear to be happy with their Game Pass deals. I don't believe there's any evidence of someone being swindled. Anecdotally, I've heard that a Game Pass deal can basically cover the dev cost of a game.

Dare I get addicted to Hades on another platform? Probably.

I definitely want to check out Art of Rally though.

Idk how it's possible to be swindled when you're the one cutting the deal and agreeing to it. Kinda just playing yourself rather than being played if it on came to that.

Anyway, I have Hades on PC so I'll prob check out art of rally and katamari
