would have liked to find out what the reasons are for this strange success.. but unfortunatley you still think videos are a good thing on news sites.

neolego2493d ago (Edited 2493d ago )

The conversations that we have on The Xbox Dive revolve around news that has broken. As we discussed at the beginning, the news of GTA V's sales is what kicked off this topic. From the basis of the news, we try to analyze and discuss what we feel is the reason for those huge sales. We are not industry professionals, as many people on N4G aren't, so this is our attempt at unpacking the news.

I am sorry that you don't find that valuable enough for N4G. If this was an issue, then N4G wouldn't offer not 1, but 2 options to post videos, so if you have a problem with the content you might want to review what N4G allows because we are well within those guidelines. This is what The Xbox Dive does, for future reference. We do appreciate you watching and leaving honest feedback.

i think the only real loss is GTAV

OtterX20d ago

I think everyone and their sister owns the game by now. They likely want to squeeze the rest of the holdouts before GTAVI releases.

Profchaos20d ago

That game comes and goes from subscriptions so frequently I think it's expected now. Like rdr2 on gamepass Rockstar Games only last a max of 3 months On a service

MrBaskerville20d ago

Talos Principle is the real loss.

BanginTunes19d ago

Facts that game is good as fuck I'm playing through 2 now, very underrated

Huey_My_D_Long20d ago

indivisible was pretty neat. Cute artstyle, fun throwback to older RPGs, shame its leaving but it is on sale often

shinoff218320d ago

Definitely. I e joyed what I played of it. Still gotta grab the physical at some point

Petebloodyonion20d ago

I'm not surprised by GTA V removal, Rockstar never allows this game to stay long on a subscription service.
They usually allow 4 to 6 months.

lodossrage20d ago

Yeah, they do that routinely with both GTA and Red Dead.

But it's because they know they can still sell them so they take them off and on to these sub services in cycle.

The weird thing to me is why is anyone still buying those games at this point? You would think after 3 generations of being sold GTA 5 that everyone and their momma would have it by now

RNTody20d ago

I fail to see how the loss of an almost 11 year old game that released across 3 generations is in any way a problem.
