Not as far as I know. But it's gotta, right? Via EA partnership?

Sea of Thieves. Since day 1. Best Gamepass title. Easy to leave and return to.

Deaths Door is a minor masterpiece.

Tunic is a major masterpiece if you want something deceptively cerebral (looks like a kid-oriented Zelda-esque adventure. It is not, I assure you.)

Frost Punk is a very fun city builder with unique elements and design.

Loophero is a sort of tower defense but not? Strange game. Strangely addictive.

If you haven't played Jedi Fallen Order, get on it. Sequel is out and it slaps. Fallen Order itself has a better storyline than all the Disney sequels and Clone Wars (yeah, I said it) combined.

Not on Gamepass anymore, but bonus points for any former Gamepass title that was so damn good I ended up buying it when it left Gamepass. And that trophy goes to Crosscode. Maybe the 2nd best single player game I've played this decade.

Darkwood will be known as the last, actually good game to be given out via Games with Gold.

Former Telus tech here. A lot of these were union labourer buyouts. Like, maybe as much as half of that 6000. They offered buyouts and lots of people took it. More than anticipated. My local workforce of techs got reduced by 50%.

I absolutely recommend if economy management is your jam.

I love this game. Went through almost all the scenarios before burning out. Good stuff. Excellent console controls.

I tried to get into that, but I kept coming back to "why am I doing this?" Like... I can manage a village and it's pleasant enough... But why?

Sea of Thieves. Always. For the chill vibes and whimsy. And then some Aliens: Dark Decent, for that high stress, anxiety adrenaline. I'm a fellow of extremes.

The P3 issue list is great. Well done.

Came to say Outer Wilds. That end moved me.

You're bang on. As a linguistic anthropologist I found this "meme" confusing and misleading. And your point about the impossibility of consistency is spot on.

Much ex-mo content is just angry people taking what they think are clever jabs at the church. Most of that content isn't nearly the 'gotcha' meme makers think they are. But man, when ex-mo content hits good, it hits real good haha.

In the most technical sense of the term, yes, billionaires several times over are citizens. But I'd argue that a citizen in the truest sense of the word contributes meaningfully to a community. By hoarding their billions and perpetuating (even exacerbating) exploitation in the pursuit of more billions negates them being true citizens. They reap from society and the environment more than they contribute.
