Nope.
Contractually. That's the thing with digital media (and I'm a fan). You need to constantly renegotiate stuff. It's why licensed games are such a pain to re-release.
Same.The 360 games tended to be the only stuff left in GwG that I've been happy with.

MS probably felt the time spent on dealing with those contract not worth it.
There is plenty of companies that would put their games on there but Microsoft isn't going to bother paying bigger publishers to do it. We got 360 games on GWG from bigger pubs at one point but once Game Pass came out that stopped because Microsoft stopped caring about the service. This is on Microsoft, not other companies.I think it's more that they've ran out of companies who'll agree to put their games there. Rather than some other limit.
You literally have no idea if that's the case or not. LOLThere is plenty of companies that would put their games on there but Microsoft isn't going to bother paying bigger publishers to do it.

So you think bigger publishers just stopped wanting to put their games on GWG after Game Pass became a thing? Nah the dip in quality of GWG tells you all you need to know that this is on Microsoft not other companies. They don't want to spend any significant money on GWG when they can spend it on Game Pass instead. Not hard to put 2 and 2 together
Ok, so it's just a guess based on no substantial evidence but a feeling you have. LOLSo you think bigger publishers just stopped wanting to put their games on GWG after Game Pass became a thing?

Yeah because GWG lineups becoming a joke since Game Pass launched clearly doesn't indicate otherwise. LOLOk, so it's just a guess based on no substantial evidence but a feeling you have. LOL
Just XB1 titles going forward or will they offer Series S|X games eventually?
So let's follow through on this hypothesis.Yeah because GWG lineups becoming a joke since Game Pass launched clearly doesn't indicate otherwise. LOL
Perhaps not right away as they had to gain some subscribers first but yes the quality of GWG dropped dramatically after Microsoft started finding success with Game Pass. There is a reason why people have been saying they should just scrap GWG every month for years now. Why would Microsoft spend money securing bigger name games for GWG when they could do it for Game Pass instead. Pretty obvious here.So let's follow through on this hypothesis.
Game Pass launched on June 1, 2017.
So you're saying it started becoming a joke 5 years ago?
Don't hold your breath for that. My bet is you only get 2 games a month and they won't be any better than what we've been getting.Maybe they will have more gwg xb1 titles or higher quality stuff by dropping 360 games (which are claim for life titles)
