DualShockers writes: A couple months ago, if you participated in the beta events for Microsoft's new game show on Xbox Live - 1 vs. 100 - you might have noticed ads from Sprint during pseudo-commercial breaks between rounds. It interested me a bit, but I was quickly over it. So, they're getting a little ad revenue from one ad spot, what's the harm in that? Fast forward to today. The New York Post has a piece on Microsoft's intention to partner with the Nielsen ratings to start tracking their Xbox Live "viewership" in a similar manner to which television programs determine their ratings.
It's been a little bit since we last heard about a possible 1 vs. 100 revival on Xbox Series X|S, but Xbox still hasn't done anything to discourage the rumors. If it does come back though, will it actually be able to outlast the original?
During Fanfest, Spencer said that that they were planning a fan fest trivia, and the entire team was working on the project. However, it didn't turn out the way they wanted. He continued saying we are still planning to do something... "maybe we should even be building our own trivia game like from our past and allow people to play a trivia game more often. Maybe that could happen."
Yes 100%. Loved even the possibility of rewards and playing with friends online is so important during these times , 1vs100 was great.

this 100%!!!! they could put it on gamespass even if that would be what they have to do.
Man, this was that type of quality app that made the 360 shine back in the day. This was crazy fun
And to think that people put up with this while ALSO paying a subscription fee for basic multiplayer functionality. If I have a Pandora account, I don't have to listen to ads. Heck, take any service out there that's free but also offers a "Premium" version and the first thing they do is cut out the ads.
soooooo sellling a 10 sec flash of sprints (ad) too pay for a game which is FREE is Highway Robery?......than dont play it?
And to think about all the heat I caught about a month ago when I wrote how they could justify 100 premium service, MS turns around and pulls this. Ads are for people who don't pay up. Simple as that. If I'm paying 60 bucks a year and I'm still subjected to ads, then what is the point? PSN, with all of it's flaws is looking better and better everyday.
This isn't just about 1 vs 100, that game was used as a pilot program of sorts to test out the market. Get ready to see ads everywhere.
Kind of makes me consider not renewing my gold subscription, especially considering the PS3 has Netflix functionality now.
