On a recent report from Polygon, the vice president of Microsoft discussed the company's Games With Gold service for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. He shared:
I have been sitting down, monthly now, with [the Games Gone Gold team]... and playing a more active role in picking franchises that show up in Games with Gold, and I think you'll see at least something that feels, at least, more true to what I think Games with Gold should look like with the constraints that are there.
Addressing the comparisons made with Games With Gold to similar program, particularly Sony's PlayStation Plus, Spencer told, "One of our... differences between the other system we get compared to, is the fact that with Games with Gold, you get to keep that game, regardless of whether you continue to subscribe. I think there's some steps and some evolution of what Games with Gold or any of the other systems will go through to their full potential."
