In perhaps semi-related news to the above I see that the CMA (The Competition and Markets Authority) are looking into the semi-shady business of auto-renewal with online services from not just Microsoft, but Sony and Nintendo too...

Also on the agenda is their cancellation and refund policies. They are looking for us the "gamers" :-& for our experiences. Email is in the link above if you are interested in telling teacher.

Bumper crop right there. Game Pass is fast becoming a very appealing service. Although the additional need for Gold on top of the cost is what puts me off.

Although if recenet mumblings are true then they are coming out with a combined offer in the future.

Gears 4 and The Crew 2 are free to play this weekend...

Although that's probably how long it'll take you to download Gears right enough.

That’s a fantastic line up there! Not as good as PS4s Metal Gear Survive but that’s hard to beat!

Guess Game Pass is officially coming to PC then...

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/05/30/ ... pc-gaming/

Catchily titled Xbox Game Pass for PC. More at E3.

Also Xbox Game Studios PC games are coming to other PC storefronts other than the horrendous Windows Store starting with Gears 5 and all the definitive editions of Age of Empires I, II and III.
