I’m not able to find this answer in old posts. Can we install games from the Microsoft store? I just claimed a free copy of Fallout 76 on PC from Prime Gaming and the MS store is telling me I need the XBOX app which sounds really weird to me.

    Yeah I get it. It turns out subscription services are everywhere and have been for quite some time so there’s no need to really inform people about the pros and cons at this point.

    Sure I don’t own the games. But then again, I don’t tend to replay old games ever. There are SO MANY new games coming out all the time, I’ve never understood the urge to go back and replay an old game. Chances are there’s a new game out there that’s the same idea but better.

    My only point here is that GamePass Ultimate is basically paying more to have access on Windows AND Xbox and I don’t use the Windows version anymore. It will save me money when it’s time to renew. Hooray linux!

      That’s because old games are focuaed on entertaining you instead of focusing on Graphics, pandering, scolding you, lecturing you and telling you to be ashamed of yourself for existing.

      That’s why Gen Z is going for retro gaming.
