What makes this so frustrating is that many of these games are on Steam and go on sale fairly regularly.. There are no excuses, Xbox is failing to provide sales we care about.
Others have mentioned it, but can they even legally do that? They can't just put whatever they want on sale, they need publishers to do that I believe. Some of these games are also 15+ year old, and no one has any idea who the rights holders currently are.
PC is massively different, and again I don't think Steam can just choose what they want to put on sale either. I just don't think console and PC store operators can just put whatever they want on sale at any moment, there's so many different laws and rights included. And honestly it makes sense. As a developer if I wanted a game I made to be a certain price, and I saw a store it was on marked it down to 99 cents without my permission I don't think I'd be happy. So yeah as a buyer I'd of course want to pay less, but we're only half of this whole thing.
