I was holding off on buying BF V to play with @Nosferatie and this bollocks!!! Also, I did sign up for Game Pass with the EA Play expectation, then PC was split off from console and now delayed some more. C’mon 2020!!!

I was just about to post the link to that article… So I wasn’t all that wrong with my analysis earlier today.

Could be HUGE if it happens…
Jez Corden is an Editor at Windows Central, and is fairly well connected. It’s a long shot, but perhaps part of the reason for the delayed EA to XGP for PC are ongoing negotiations with Ubisoft?
If it does happen, can only imagine the XGP price will increase. With access to games from all the Xbox Studios, Bethesda, EA, and Ubisoft surely they’d have to?

They’re starting to nail the coffin for Sony this new console generation. Not due to hardware or exclusives, but just pure bang for buck.

Yeah, their business model is vastly superior and for once also aligning in favour for consumers too.

And most of them are now on Gamepass so it’s a good time to jump in. Start with 0 and work your way up to 5 and by the time you get there 6&7 might be on gamepass as well.
I was playing Like a Dragon (7) until 1:00 this morning. It’s so different from the others but so good.
