    Why can you buy Fable 3 at a retail store if it doesn't work?


    I just bought Fable 3 the other day from Walmart. I was so excited because I had wanted to play it since middle school but no one would buy it for me. I finally got it the other day only to find out that I can't play it because you need to verify the release
    date with Games for Windows LIVE... which no longer exists. I am extremely upset that I could buy a game that doesn't work. I have tried EVERYTHING to get this game to work, I reinstalled the LIVE client three time, I disabled my firewall, I set back the
    time on my computer, I UPDATED the time on my computer, I tried the "timeslip" file from some website that would download a xboxlive.dll fake file, but the file won't work, I can't contact LIONHEAD Studios because they no longer exist. Every time I contact
    support the give me the runaround with the same websites that I have already tried several times or tell be I can't be on a public network. I have Windows 10, I've read threads that have been able to play Fable 3 on Windows ten, but I think that's only if
    they were able to play it on windows 7. Can someone PLEASE help me figure out how to get this game to work. I am so frustrated that I bought a game from WALMART that doesn't freaking work.

    :)

    One month old xbox freezes constantly

    1-If it is 30 days old then why are you not taking it back to the retail shop where you purchased it for an exchange?

    2-If you did buy it at a reputable retailer did you take advantage of their extended in store warranty for the console? If no, why not?

  3. ms currency and eso plus

    It's weird that PS4 has a code you can buy at a retail store for 1 month at a time but xbox does not. Microsoft please fix this so we can buy ESO plus on the Xbox store or even a retail store without using a credit card on the store page. Thank you.

    can't buy as a gift

    As far as I know you can only buy games as gifts. If you want to buy Gold, buy a physical card or a code from an online retailer. :)
    Thanks for the answer. Xbox Live Gold can be bought as a gift but not now because of this problem. Why does Store never work correctly?(

    Cannot change my account region

    If your account location doesn't match your actual location then thats probably why you cant download Fable 3.

    Can you play an Xbox/Microsoft free online account game on PC?

    No you can't as the versions on the Microsoft Store are the Xbox Versions of the games.

    Fable 2, far as I can tell, never had a PC port so can't be played on PC; Fable 3 you would need to find a code from a 3rd party site or buy the disc version for the game

    Games on demand pricing

    Hello,

    Microsoft does not set those prices. The regional restrictions, pricing, and all that jazz is handled by the publisher that decides to put the content on Xbox LIVE. The Xbox LIVE marketplace isn't a retail store, it doesn't have price matching policies in place.
    If you see something for cheaper in a retail store, by all means get it in that retail store. The way things work on most online marketplaces like Xbox LIVE, PSN, etc. is they let the publishers set those prices.

    Which is why you see games like Modern Warfare 3 still listed at $60 on the marketplace when it was released almost 2 years ago.
