I bought all my Telltale games on PS4. Made sure to throw in the season pass discs for Guardians, Minecraft 2 and Batman 2 last week. They all worked fine. All the rest are fully on disc or are Walking Dead which probably isn't getting delisted.

 
Meh.
I don't know why whoever ends up getting the rights wouldn't just relist them for easy money.
Telltale also fucked up by not doing a fire sale before closing their doors.
The thing is we don't know for sure that someone will pick up the rights to these old games, almost all of them sold poorly so they may not see it as worth it, especially if it takes actual work or money to deal with the remains of Telltale. Unless someone plans to do a direct sequel it doesn't make a lot of business sense to "save" the old games, and they're all part of bigger licenses.

 
Glad that I bought Panzer Dragoon Orta on Xbox Live for $5 last night, because the current sale is pretty crappy.  Guessing they're waiting for an E3 or summer sale to really have a good sale again.

 
It is indeed the risk described in the program, for which I signed up a bit before the GP Ultimate deal (which I did not get to utilize since I already stacked 3 years for both Live and GP haha), but it is far too big a consequence that isn't being addressed timely. It is basically a vacuum not vacuuming and a computer not computing.

I will have to try reverting any Insider enrollment and see what happens.
I have had good luck starting an app, quitting the app, and then starting the game I want to play.

This happens to me maybe once every two weeks (I'm in the Alpha ring).
 
Anyone ever deal with unauthorized purchases on xbox? Had seven total purchases show up in my email the other day, all bought within a minute or two of each other. The amount total wasn't a lot, like $50. Called MS support thinking they'd take the charges off, and all they did was tell me to change my password, and removed my bank cards from my account. The guy then sent me an email about how to get refunded, which basically just said to dispute the charges with my bank. Is it normal to not actually get support from MS support in things like this?

Last summer, I had my account hacked and some small charges hit me. Back and forth with support before the refunds department stated I needed to give them a long list of very private details. Email, actual emails, 10 friends, and more. I said "nah" and told them to piss off.

They did take credit for me having changed the old password and checked my details before I called. "So we helped you do that when?" "I did it,me. Before I called"

I would for sure dispute the charges and lock your account down
 
Yeah before I contacted them I changed out my password, so support really didn't do much of anything. Just surprised the only real thing they suggest is to dispute with my bank, that they don't actually do anything actually"supportive" at support.
 
So did the telltale get delisted last night or no. At work right now can't check
Did a search for "Telltale Games" on my laptop and got the following:

Under X1 - All minecraft and Game of Thrones don't seem to be available.

Under 360 - When I click on "See All" it comes up with a "Runtime Error" including Batman which is the only one that shows a price on the summary page.

Don't follow that advice. They can permanently ban your account if you attempt a charge back. Unless they changed their policy I wouldn't recommend it. Just go search for it on reddit and you'll see people getting banned for it.

Already went to the bank to dispute the charges because their info specifically said to dispute the charges.
 
Highly recommend just setting up authentication of some sort.
You only need to confirm your identity when it comes to purchases on the website (even free ones which sucks but it is what it is).
I use the official mobile one, and all I have to do is click "Approve" when the prompt comes up on my phone. Before that, I used to do the secondary email code thing (which generally is enough to thwart any would be hackers).

The other solution which I use on PlayStation and Switch is to just not attach any payment methods or leave any significant amount of credit sitting in the account.
At least with credit, you don't have to get your bank involved.

If you can, call them and try to cancel it. Seriously. Chargebacks will get your account permanently banned. I know this is what support told yo to do, but they are wrong.

Read this thread:

If you can, call them and try to cancel it. Seriously. Chargebacks will get your account permanently banned. I know this is what support told yo to do, but they are wrong.

Well my bank is closed for the day, but I had support just call me, gave them my support ticket number, and asked about the steps I took and about contacting my bank, they said my account will be ok. All I can do now is wait and see I guess. Maybe since I contacted support first and they have a support number for the case things will be ok. I can't see how following the instructions they give you would result in an account otherwise in good standing getting banned.

Unfortunately people that work at support jobs don't always know what they're talking about. If it does go through hopefully you find a supervisor or whatever that is sympathetic to the fact that you were told to deal with it through your bank, but technically it's not incorrect for for them to tell you to deal with the bank if you aren't satisfied. That rep likely doesn't do account banning so maybe they don't even know it's a possibility.

I don't know if it's a one to one policy that chargeback = ban, but it seems like there are enough posts around the internet that show there is a likely correlation.

All I really know is what the actual site that support sent me to says. That says if you don't know who made the purchase...You will need to contact your financial institution for a refund.

I'll have to try calling the bank tomorrow and see if it's possible to cancel the case.
 
I don't think it has been mentioned anywhere, but it looks like Destiny 2 Forsaken and the Annual Pass are on sale for :xb1:

Lots of details have just dropped about the next season in the game (Season of Opulence) which kicks off after reset next Tuesday so I'm pretty excited!

I think a bank is supposed to deal with this like its fraud and that it's handled in a different way instead of direct charge backs. A person instituting a charge back is you dealing with it, not the bank. It sucks that there is a distinction and that it happens in the first place, but I get why it's like that. If everyone could just charge back "false charges" it's be abused to oblivion. Really, MS should have done an investigation on their end and issued a refund if the purchase was at a weird IP address or something. Telling you to take it up with your bank should be the last step, not the first.

 
I have had problems with the 1.4 on the pound cable, but I'd still try it. The picture quality when it works is phenomenal. You'll know right away if it doesn't because you'll experience numerous black screens while playing.
I got my Pound adapter today and immediately had the black screen issue. Plugging a micro usb power cable into the adapter per Pounds suggestion fixed it though.

Made sure to throw in Incredible Hulk to test out 720p. The list of games that supported 1080i is surprisingly small.

I apologise for suggesting it. I have only dealt with charge disputes as clear cut fraud in another instance. MS Support has so many layers that it sucks getting the right info. There needs to be some flow for all support departments.

I do hope you don't get banned and excuse my ignorant suggestion. Good luck
 
There's some weird protest or something going on at Twitch. It seems like they're playing movies mostly under the Artifact page but also Anthem. I watched about a half hour each of Revenge of the Sith and Avengers: Endgame. Most of the streams are just other games but now a few people are playing hentai vids as well, and there are like 20 streams of baby seals. Really edgy chat for the most part too.

I'm not sure if it's against Valve or Twitch. It seems like they can't deal with it since it seems like more and more are popping up.

 
Microsoft text chat is done via a third party company iirc, so what they say is not gospel. Doubly so if you end up dealing with an "Ambassador" volunteer.

Xbox Mixer plans for E3

June 9th - Mixpot confirmed for Xbox conference - 4 PM EST

June 10th - Sea of Thieves: Mixer Invitational – Battle for LA, from 2 PM EST (Onyx 4-pack Mixpot)

June 10th - Inside Xbox (just gameplay showcasing?) 6PM EST

June 10th - "Mixer will exclusively stream live from Xbox FanFest inside the Mixer Dome", from 10 p.m. – 12 p.m. EST

They also have listings for most of the other major conferences. Devolver Digital's (mostly) joke show is not listed, nor is Nintendo's Direct from the 11th. I may be reading too much into this but I feel like that hard de-confirms Steve, Banjo, or Master Chief in Smash Bros. Even if they premiered at Xbox it would obviously be a cross-promotion thing.

Yep, won't be playing Call of Cthulhu for some time, lol.

At least that Rage Against the Machine song that was done for the soundtrack is still great:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7ha9U7YNyA

It's also one of the most anti-capitalist songs they ever wrote, directly criticizing the film and entertainment industry and calling the film itself "pure motherfucking filler", I'm still amazed it was approved. RATM was so hot in 1998 they didn't give a shit.

Hospitals not profit full
Yet market bulls got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View tha world from American eyes
Tha poor adore keep fiendin' for more
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
They fix the need, develop the taste
Buy their products or get laid to waste
Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on
And Godzilla, pure muthafuckin FILLER
To keep ya eyes off the real killer...
Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin' for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

So much irony. A multimillionaire super capitalist acting like he doesn't like capitalism to get rich off of capitalism - what a load of crap.
