Game Pass loses We Happy Few later this week

Doesn't XBox own the developer and IP?

Dammit. I started this ages ago and never got around to finishing it. Chances of finishing this in a week are slim to none

I guess even though Compulsion are a first party studio, this game isn't technically a first party game?

DaMikeSC said:Yup. I wonder why they are taking it off GamePass.

I started the game on january 1rst to complete the Happy New Year's target. I only have 22% I better rush it to complete it

etcher1981 said:Not sure they own the IP, and as stated in the article, Gearbox has the publishing rights, so was always a bit iffy (same with Outer Worlds, Take-To still has publishing rights to the first game)

I guess since it's published by Gearbox there's an agreement that's expiring. I could see it returning at some point though.

Well did not see this coming

Gearbox owns the publishing rights. I'm sure it'll come back soon though.

There's going to be an unhappy few with this news.

Sod's law, finally get around to starting this.

That said, I'd probably need the digital deluxe edition (cheapest sale) for the dlcs, and I'm enjoying the Series X optimisations

Noooo started this ages ago taking my time making sure not to kill anyone. Guess a rush killing spree this week. Wasn't expecting this to go least of all only one week notice rather than two.

Fwiw contrast is developed by the same company

DaMikeSC said:I was under that impression also...strange that it is leaving at all. However, I am more interested in what Compulsion are working on now. I may be mistaken but wasn't there talk of their next title being some sort of horror/fantasy game set in the "deep south" of America. Sounds cool!

I didn't get on with this game at all. I wish we could remove games with 1 achievement from our tag.

This game looked promising during early access but I ended up not caring about it. Honestly forgot it existed

I'm not digging these last minute Leaving Soon announcements. I get that it's been on the service for 4 years but I hope this doesn't become a pattern for the new year.

Wasn't a fan of this game, far too much rng but enjoyed the new ideas, shame but couldn't bring myself to finish it

Started it in 2019 when I first tried game pass. Kinda stopped cuz I had no idea what I was doing and got stuck early on, then got distracted with other games to try and just ran out of time. Figured this game would never leave and one day I would get back to it.
Now I may never see such a day :'(
