Dear ResetEra!
I'd like to show off a project that I've been leading for the company I work for and I'm extremely glad and proud to let you guys know about it after months of in-house work. This is a very emotional project for me, as I've been cooking this idea for a good 10 years until I finally had the chance to make this happen. I won't provide any links to our web as I don't want this thread to be seen as advertising but just as a place for me to share my feel-good story of a very tough year on a personal and professional level.
Introducing the official Gaming Corners in Mexico!
Long story short, I did a proposal about a year and a half ago to my company to partner up with Xbox. Before I knew, the awesome Xbox Mexico staff had answered the call and we've been working together for nearly a year. We've barely started turning parts of this project in this week and, so far, we've had TONS of people playing on these corners. Shout out to 3 amazing people at Xbox Mexico's team who have been AWESOME at all times in response times and support. Also, I'd like to cheer for the people working in-house tirelessly to make this small but very significant project come to life. You all made this possible!

QUICK FAQ
What are these corners about?
These corners are game rooms where you can enjoy drinks, snacks and some cool co-op or versus games, all free of charge within the hotel. The biggest + newest games joining Game Pass will be hitting our corners as well. We will also have some of the classics!
Sounds nice, so... where can I find these corners?
These corners (included 100% free of charge) can be found in Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts found in Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta and Costa Mujeres. You may find Xbox One S corners in our sports bar, the junior clubs and our VIP family hotel bran lobby, as well as Xbox One X consoles and 4K HDR TVs in the exclusive Palladium Travel Club rooms. All of them are / will be equipped with Game Pass and (some) Xbox Live.
Sweet! So... how do they work?
Simple! These corners are equipped with Game Pass and (some) with Live. Just leave your room card at the counter, take the controller and game on! For control reasons, guests won't be allowed to download games, access any settings or log in to your Live account, but rest assured that big games that hit GP will be on our units on day one! That way, you won't miss a game's release even on vacation!
Awesome! When can I use these corners if I'm at the hotels?
Right now!
Cool! So, why Xbox?
Not only because they're amazing people through and through, but because we aim for very similar goals and services and I feel this is a match made in gamer heaven.

Thanks for your time! Please, let me know any comments + questions + suggestions you may have as I'm both overjoyed (and extremely scared) to hear back from all of you.
