Games With Gold July 2020

Deal Link:
Retailer:
Xbox Live
Saints Row 2 is great and Juju is good. Juju is a side-scrolling platformer. Dunk Lords sounds good and got 95% positive out of 19 reviews on Steam. It's not out on Xbox yet. It's basketball with fighting in it plus local co-op and WRC is good too. It got 76 on Metacritic. Enjoy!

Xbox One - you can claim the game and play it for as long as you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription, so if your Gold runs out it won't let you play that game unless you renew.
Xbox 360 - you 'own' the game, and can keep playing it even if your Gold sub expires

Looks like I'm letting gold run out this summer. Might resub if there is something offered I care about. But with epic free games and humble choice occasionally, Xbox needs to do a heck of a lot better.

If your only buying gold bc of the gwg and not actually playing online then ya idk why you would do so. Your paying gold for the party system and playing games online not bc of the free games you get. As well majority of people did the $1 transfer for upto 3 years to xbl ultimate anyways. The only reason they started adding free games was bc sony and playstation where doing it and wanted to compete. I almost forgot your paying gold for the deal of the week sales that require gold to purchase.

The problem Microsoft is facing is their pro-consumer support of backwards compatibility.

That means if they give away a game today, they can never resell it to a new Xbox Series X (or Xbox One/One X) buyer who currently has gold. That means any AAA games are essentially worthless going forward as digital revenue, so they give us junk.

On the other hand, Sony hedged their bets with "limited PS4 compatibility + zero PS3/PS2/PS1 support) so they can freely give away games, not offer BC on them, and then resell them as-in or offer $$$ nerd-bait remakes. Sony is the anti-consumer devil and they will try to drain a nerd's wallet faster than Apple.

One hilarious comment I keep seeing is that "sure the PS4 compatibility list will be very limited at launch, but Sony will keep adding to that as time goes by". LOL, I guess they never bought a PS3, which had BC deleted after launch and those hw/sw-based models kept getting "compatible PS2 games" deleted every day after launch (similar to the PSTV with Vita titles).

If you're buying a PS5 hoping Sony will steadily adding to the BC list long after they have your money, I wish you luck with that strategy.

You can't expect much from GWG when Game Pass is literally the best deal in all of gaming right now. If you're not playing online then just don't pay for it because Game Pass is where the real deal is anyway. If you spent the $1 to update your Gold to Ultimate then you really have nothing to be complaining about other than the general concept of having multiplayer locked behind a paywall which hasn't been unique to MS for years now

They are already doing it. It's called GPU.

GPU is an upsell and thus more expensive. Now they replace gold with ultimate and force customers into the higher paying bracket. That's crappy. Gold used to be worth it alone for the new games each month. Now you can't even buy a 12 month subscription to gold, not that I was going to anyways.
