Ah man, that’s kinda goofy. I have PC Game Pass and I know they’re technically different products.

Yeah, for $1 (between 9.99 and 10.99) this is just a price decoy / asymmetric dominance exercise.

Core will go away (or at least deprioritized from a marketing perspective) once they’ve successfully transitioned everyone off GfG.

I think the modding landscape is different than in 2011 (in a good way). I feel like I saw mod support for Hogwarts Legacy on Vortex maybe 72 hours after the game was released.

My guess is that by the time the first official .1 patch is out, there will be a handful of QoL/fix mods.
