    Why bundle only?


    I'm curious why when a game gets old then Microsoft then tacks on the DLC or season pass then re-ups the price back to $60? Why not give us the option to buy the bare bones cheap old game? I bet there be a lot more casual purchases as well for the bare
    bones. Not to sound like a cheap jerk or anything was curious about this.

    :)

    Fifa Bundle

    Why is there no Fifa bundle to be released in the USA. I don't want Madden. I want FIFA included in an xbox one bundle at the same price as Madden. Please explain why there will be no bundle available for us Soccer fans in the USA?

    Why bundle only?

    Hello,

    This would be up to the individual publishers as to how they offer the content on the Store. Some publishers will feel that a large expansion makes the game more 'complete' and so that's the version they want to sell going forward, or for some multiplayer
    games the concern will be keeping the player base unified with all new players having access to the same content as the existing players.

    Still forcing DLC for the new gamer to buy isn't forcing the old players that already have the game not buy DLC. DLC still divided up the community.

    It was just one example of what some games use as the reason for it, but you'd have to ask the publishers why they only list the 'complete' version including DLC and not the base game.

    Sea Of Thieves

    Well When I got Sea of thieves I did not have game pass to my knowledge

    Unless if it just switch to Game pass only I don't see why they would give me a game in a bundle with the only way to play it is in game pass.

    Then why put it in a bundle?

    Edit: Bundles are all about free games
