It's a mistake and you took advantage. No harm in that but for the love of god don't get self righteous when they correct their mistake.

Can you let us know if the achievements unlock for the dlc when you go back online, even though revoked.

sweet, so they are paying me to play the game, then pop back online and get it revoked. Thanks MS! Off next week so this will do me :smile:

No they won't. No one is forcing you to spend more than $10. Stop giving out and be grateful they even gave you anything to make up for the revoke.

11 Jun 16#105
$10 to spend. You end up spending more than that.
It was clearly a marketing stunt. They'll end up making loads of money from this.

They're revoking the license and offering $10 to anyone who got this. Check your messages on X1

Our pricing error on Fallout 4 has been fixed and your free download will no longer work. For the inconvenience we will deposit $10 by the end of June in your Microsoft Account. This expires one year from the time it was deposited.
I can't argue with that! I wonder whether it'll actually be in USD, though.

With the mod release there's going to be tons more content added. It's a shame I played way to much right on the release week that I've killed the game for myself. :disappointed:

I've owned Fallout 4 for 7 months on PlayStation 4 and haven't even scratched the surface, it wouldn't just be unplugging the console for a couple of weeks :smile:
Like I say, I'd rather go out and buy the season pass.

They would be losing money and this isn't the type of package to be giving away for free for thousands of gamers who took advantage of it.

They could also make xboxs with a cup holder built in, that it also very unlikely to happen.
Its not like people had to exploit a loophole, just seeing a game is free and clicking buy will not get anyone banned

Your taking advantage of a glitch in the marketplace and that's braking the xbox code of conduct that you agreed to. if microsoft wants they could ban you and you xbox

Think standard for xbox one was a tenner recently.
But you would only need to unplug the console for a couple of weeks. Complete fallout and go back to normal. :man:

I think I'd rather just go out an buy it to be honest. But, if anybody is fine ceasing all internet activity to their Xbox One to play Fallout 4, then go for it.

It would be kinda cool I suppose if ppl get to keep it (not too happy as I bought it digitally before release at full price) but can't see it happening!

No, that's fine. That's what MS designed it for.
hotfinder
10 Jun 16#78
Same here. Played fine this morning. I also purchased the standard edition and all dlc as well as the season pass and deluxe edition. Hopefully even if they just revoke the licences for the deluxe edition, they won't bother with the standard game, season pass and DLC associated with it. If you really want to keep it forever without it being revoked, like I said before; disconnect your Xbox One from the internet FOREVER!

Anyway this from a MS rep-
Unfortunately, those who took advantage won't get to enjoy their free games. “Those customers who were able to get the Fallout 4 deluxe edition for free will [have the game] be removed under their licenses automatically,” the representative said.

You don't get a receipt for free purchases Xbox. Ever. Same goes with Steam.
Only PSN and Origin do that.
Spark
10 Jun 161#71
Each user who buys it is issued with a single use licence key, just like windows, ms office etc. They just repeal all of the licence keys that haven't been paid for and that breaks the validation contract between the system and Xbox live.
It is very simple to do, trust me.
Spark
10 Jun 16#70
Yes, that would work but only if you have set that console as your Home system.
If you're one of those dodgy, greedy, thieving game sharer types then it won't work.

I guess people who downloaded it won't be able to play it then? Because they don't have the licence to play.
Just don't connect to Xbox Live then until you've completed it :stuck_out_tongue:

I went onto their website and brought it from there for free it didn't ask for card details double checked my Xbox it was downloading and made sure to check my account that no card details or PayPal was present
Spark
10 Jun 16#45
They'd just cancel the licence key at their end so when a console checks with live, the game won't load anymore.

As a word of warning, it's very likely to be revoked - similar happened with the PSN season pass a few months ago. The screenshot won't really be any help if it is, I'm afraid.

This is showing for free for me too. Includes the game and all DLC, inc season pass.
But be aware that Microsoft could revoke access to licences for the game if they so desire.
Its gone through for me and its installing
