  1. Games with Gold = Trash


    During September of last year, I had got Watch Dogs during the Free Games with Gold promotion that Xbox has. I had never fully downloaded the game until yesterday, and I wanted to try the game out today. I have an error code telling me that I need an Xbox
    Gold Subscription to play the game. Thing is, I have gold. Can somebody help?

    :)

    They're free games, usually indie or older stuff. Give them a chance! Or don't.

    I hope you aren't expecting AAA titles on GWG.

    Yes, but over here in the real world when you're charged a fee to access something, then it is not free. It's free with paid subscription.

    It's like saying you get The Disney Channel for free because you subscribed to your cable package strictly for MTV. The channel isn't free, it's part of the paid service that you're subscribed to.

    In the real world you pay for a xbox live subscription,you do not pay for the 4 free games you get to download as a perk of having that gold subscription therefore they are free.

    With my mobile phone I pay £12 pm & part of that contract is I get 200 free texts & 500 free minutes which means I can send 200 text & not get charged so they are free.

    If you go to the supermarket there are offers like buy one thing get another at no extra charge therefore the one extra thing you get is free.

    It's all the same thing.

    ,As far as i'm concerned the games are free as I am not charged for them

    As far as i'm concerned they are free.

    When I click on them to download them the price shows as free,i am not charged any money so they are free.

    They are a bonus for my gold subscription.

    I get your point,if you purposely buy gold just for the GWG then you could say they aren't free.

    I've always had a gold sub since 2003 so to me they are just a added bonus & are free games.

    You pay for your xbox live gold subscription in order to access multiplayer features & xbox live etc,thats what a gold sub has always been.

    Now though there is an added bonus that while you have an active gold subscription you get to download 4 games per month,you are not charged for those game so they are free.

    You are paying for a xbox live gold sub,not the games that come with games (garbage) with gold,they aren't part of having a gold sub,they are just a bonus to having one.
    You're paying for the subscription. Perhaps YOU are only paying for multi-player access, but that does not mean everyone is. Different strokes for different folks. The last couple of times I bought a month of gold, it was strictly because I was interested
    in the games.

    The games are part of the subscription based service. The service is not free, therefore neither are the games. If they were free, then I could download them without having to pay for a subscription. If you want to call them "free" then you need an astrix
    after the word.

    *with paid gold subscription

    You think the free games are bad?

    I also own a ps4 as well and trust me ps4 owners look at games with gold with envy. The free ps4 games are usually cack and the free ps3 games wont even work on the ps4

    There have been some excellent games with gold. Mostly 360 games but at least they work on xbox one.
