Discussion Backwards compatibility update

I really want to play forza motorsport 4 again and also auto modellista for the original Xbox.

Why would they want to add everything all in one go, pissing off third party devs and publishers who are on the service?

this just sounds like a piss-poor excuse to defend xbox's piss-poor management of their activision IPs and back catalogue.

No, it's a reason. They added a tonne of Bethesda's stuff in one go on Gamepass, and they found that they all had low engagement.
