    Games with Gold constantly gives me FRENCH games. Why?!


    We moved to Belgium half year ago, and since then, everytime I download a Game with Gold, I keep getting the game in FRENCH. I DON'T UNDERSTAND FRENCH, AND I DO NOT WANT THE GAME IN FRENCH!!! Belgium is divided into two language regions; Dutch (North of
    Belgium, where I live --> Flanders) and French (South of Belgium). So yeah, I just want to play the game in ENGLISH. NOT FRENCH. When I was still living in The Netherlands, I never had this problem. Yeah okay, only the Assassin's Creed series were Dutch when
    I played them, but I'm okay with that. It's just VERY ANNOYING that my Xbox 360 doesn't understand that coming from Belgium doesn't mean that you automatically speak French.

    So getting to the point... I live in Belgium, and I want to download games in English, not French. But I cannot select a language of the game when I download it, so how do I change that? I'm very agitated, and very *** of.
    I did not pay for a subscription to play games in a different language. Do I have to change my region to a different country, like The Netherlands? But if I do that, I won't be able to download most games, and the money on my Microsoft Account
    will disappear. And if I do that, will I still be able to play games like Destiny, which uses servers? I'm just sick and tired of this all. Everyone is having fun with these free games, and I'm not, which isn't fair, don't you think?

    So far I've had this problem with three games:

    - Hitman: Absolution (I was able to fix this issue on this game, because this game offered an English language pack, which I had to download)

    - Halo: Reach

    - Red Faction: Guerrilla

    Microsoft, please fix this.

    I've always been a loyal customer to Microsoft for years, so this isn't fair. If stuff like this happens to me again, I'll probably go for the new Playstation 4. And yes, my console language is English, if that matters.

    :)

    Hello, i have a question for the game with gold and free game avaible on the other country store.

    If you change to a different region it won't matter since both all 3 titles are region locked anyways

    The only languages supported in your region is dutch. And French not English as those are the national languages

    Also it is up to the publishers to decide on the languages per region

    Usually decided by the one off the national ones

    There is no way to get English with reach except for physical for physical disks being imported

    Yeah, I understand that, but why don't they give you an OPTION to chose your language? They say "This game supports French and English". Well clearly it doesn't! What if I purchased a game through the Marketplace with money, and they give me the game in
    Chinese (just as an example), when it's also available in English. Wouldn't that be unfair? What right do they have to chose the language for that game, that you BOUGHT with your OWN money? It's like going to a store and say "I want a black Xbox One", and
    then the seller says "No, I'll only give you a white Xbox One" (when there's clearly a black Xbox One available). They don't have the right to tell you that... Eventhough that's just about color.

    I do not blame you, but these things need to be changed, as I know many people have the same issue.

    BecuSe you can't bypass your local laws

    What is avaiable in your region is available not UK or us content

    But French content or in some cases dutch

    The marketplaces are ruled by your international laws along with what the publishers offer in your specific marketplace

    what is allowed in france may not be allowed in uk as content laws are different for every region

    But if I change my location to The Netherlands, will I be able to download? Or will I get a region error, like many people are experiencing?

    So basicly, if there's a French version of the game, I will always get that one, instead of the original English version? That's stupid.

    Nope as it is region locked

    No the only one available is in the nationally supported language

    The marketplaces aren't linked together and what is allowed in Germany or UK wouldn't be allowed in Belgium itsl not rocket science ask a police officer to change a street sign for you see what he will say he says get used to it
