Liked the game itself a ton


It's available for the Xbox One on the Microsoft Game Pass. Not Windows 10. I do not know, nor will I ever have an Xbox One.

So, way to go Microsoft, you stole a dollar from me.



So, I paid a dollar, I should see if I can install SOME game. (Mind you, people are still saying that you can play The Outer Worlds for a $1 on Microsoft game store and I am saying you absolutely cannot.)

I picked Unavowed.
Clicked in "Install/Play"
Opens the Microsoft Game Store app where it says "Join." It has no idea I already fucking joined.
When I click on Join anyway because there is nothing else to do I get "Something went wrong 0x080070426" which is some sort of error that involves taking 2 hours to fix your shit. Look at this:



https://www.thewindowsclub.com/error-0x80070426-microsoft-store-windows-update


1. Reset the Microsoft Store.
2. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter.
3. Use System File Checker and DISM.
4. Download the required update manually.
5. Configure the Firewall or Antivirus.
6. Reset Windows Update components.


I mean, I am not doing that. There is no fucking game in the world that is going to make me spend time on a Sunday doing that to their gross incompetence. Jesus Christ I wish they would just stay the fuck out of PC games. Epic Games gets shit because of how bad their store is but at least it does let you pay for and install a game. I've tried Microsoft's shitty game store apps for years and each one manages to be worse than the previous one.
