    Games with Gold Change?


    In the past whenever a Xbox 360 or Original Xbox game were in the Games with Gold program you actually owned them. Today however when I downloaded Armed & Dangerous for the Original Xbox I notice that it shows that I can still buy it vs. I own it. This
    would be like how the Xbox One Games with Gold works instead of how it used to work for back compat games. Example, MX Unleashed (Original Xbox) was a recent Games with Gold game. If I look at that game in the store it shows I own it with no option to buy
    it. Did Microsoft announce this change to the program? It is probably not a huge deal technically since I plan to keep my subscription to Gold but it is would be a change and that is why I am curious. Anyone else notice this?

    :)

    Games with Gold Change?

    So I have an update on my situation:

    As I said earlier, I downloaded Armed and Dangerous on my 360. After doing that and seeing it was mislabeled as not an Xbox One compatible game, I turned off my 360 and turned my Xbox One back one. It had been completely turned of (not just in the "instant
    on" off state). So when it comes back on there are a few games listed on my main screen and then after getting settled the GOLD and GAME PASS icons show up on them.....EXCEPT Armed and Dangerous. I go to my game list and it no longer has the GOLD icon on it.
    I go in my ALL OWNED GAMES section and there it is. When I go into the gold section of my library it has OWNED listed on Armed and Dangerous. So it seems either me downloading it to my 360 or the fresh start of the Xbox One did something....HOWEVER...if I
    look at the games info it still has the "You can play Armed and Dangerous with your Xbox Live Gold, or buy it to own." message as if I do not own it?!?

    So now I am even more confused as most places on the Xbox One dash shows that I own the game... yet when I view the game's details on the store, both on the Xbox One or PC, it says I do not own it.

    I do have a question....Armed and Dangerous IS showing in my Full Library Games with Gold section (as I said with its thumbnail marked as owned), but I see there are no other Xbox Originals or 360 games listed in that section. Are the 360 or Xbox Originals
    usually listed in that section? Is Armed and Dangerous only showing in that section because it is currently one of the Games with Gold games? I just can't remember if it is normal for the current 360 or Xbox Originals games to be listed in there or not....and
    them possibly disappear from there after their time is up.

    Games with Gold Change?

    I defiantly realized something was different with this game when I saw the GOLD icon on its thumbnail. After some poking around I have also discovered if you look at Armed and Dangerous listed on an Xbox 360 it is NOT listed as being playable on the
    Xbox One. It did let me download the game just fine on the 360, just as it had on the Xbox One (since it is a Games with Gold and I am a Ultimate member), but after doing so it does NOT say Xbox One below the game listing (as other backwards compatible games
    do) and when pressing X to view the game details it also does NOT have Xbox One Compatible listed as it should.

    I am speculating this is some sort of game tagging error on Microsoft's part. It seems I am always finding games incorrectly tagged on my Xbox One game lists (ex: filtered as Xbox One games when they are actually Xbox 360 games, or duplicate games or duplicates
    with one tagged as X enhanced while another listing of the same game is tagged as not X enhanced, etc...). My guess is they have Armed and Dangerous labeled or tagged incorrectly somewhere. Possibly just not having it listed as a game playable on the Xbox
    One in the 360 info base and that is somehow making the Xbox One data base....not see it an Xbox Original game and therefore tagging it as a license revocable game like the Xbox One games are.

    This may be a simple mistake or it may be a way that they have found to make the Xbox Originals Games With Gold games so they can take them away. It really seems too late in the game to be making that type of change on purpose. I also fear if it is a simple
    mistake....if it isn't corrected before its time in Games with Gold is up.....will it be able to be fixed or are we all losing this "keeper".

    I don't know how to report something that may be a multi-generational error, but I guess reporting that its info is listed incorrectly on the 360 would be a start. Someone / Some Ambassador should get on that. It should defiantly be listed as being playable
    on Xbox One on the 360. The harder part may be figuring out how this mistake is making it be treated differently on the Xbox One.

    No idea what's going on because if you download Armed & Dangerous via a xbox 360 then you don't need gold to play it but you do if you download it via a xbox one.
