In today's Daily Fix: A rumored leak of new changes coming to Xbox Game Pass has the internet speculating on the future of the service. The biggest change reportedly coming is the loss of Day One games on the service, across all tiers. There will also be the introduction of a cheaper ad-supported tier, but online play, cloud streaming, and family accounts will all be extra add-ons. In other news, the CEO of Bulkhead, the developers of Wardogs, has defended development crunch by saying it's more of a 'balancing act,' by giving developers room to step back when things get too intense. The issue of crunch has plagued game development for decades as games, especially multi-million-dollar AAA games fall behind in development. And finally, Resident Evil direct Zach Cregger has just the actress in mind if he ever needs to cast for RE Village's Lady Dimitrescu.
