It varies it seems. I've seen some that claim the Xbox 360 version on Xbox.com too when you grab the Xbox One version on Microsoft.com, but I guess this one didn't. I don't think Frontlines was an official GwG that I'm aware of, well not in the US, seems it was just offered by mistake.Did Microsoft change it so the free 360 games no longer appear as free on the old marketplace?
Frontlines shows as $14.99 here: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Frontlines-Fuel-of-War/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802545107d8?DownloadType=Game&noSplash=1
This is correct. Both times the game has gone free recently it was not in the US marketplace, so the best you could do (if you didn't live in those other regions) was just grab the "Xbox One" type license of the game.It varies it seems.

To take away some of the bad press from the major price hike to Xbox Live Gold?
Am I understanding correctly that Live Gold has changed from $60 a year to $120 a year (two units of the 6 month package)? Then they better have that fifth title a month be permanent plus more cuz wow on a 100% price increase.Bonus GwG this month. Any reason for it? Not complaining, just asking.
Yup. Unless you're an existing member, "[g]oing forward, new pricing will be 1-month for $10.99, 3-months for $29.99, and 6-months for $59.99, or your local market equivalent."

That was quick.https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/01/22/update-on-xbox-live-gold-pricing/
We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing.
Yeah that was quicker than expectedThat was quick.
I think somebody messed up the announcement because the pricing didn't make any sense. You would have actually saved a penny buying two 3-month terms over one 6-month term. If they're the same price, there's ZERO incentive to lock yourself into the longer term. That's not usually how those things work. So they decided to just scrap the idea for now and will indeed try the corrected version down the line."Cough Cough more like they knew they were treading in dangerous waters" Don't let your guard down for a second and think the quick reversal of fortune isn't something they might not try again later that nonsense.
Absolutely. The price increase wasn't the problem. Everyone does it. The problem was the math. How can you have a 10% price increase on the one month but a 100% increase on the 12 month.I think somebody messed up the announcement because the pricing didn't make any sense.

Because the newly proposed pricing also did away with/significantly reduced the “buy more, save more” currently in effect; it wasn’t just a slight price increase (which they probably could have gotten away with), it was a double whammy with a discount removal included.Absolutely.

You're not the only one.Am i the only one who feels demo's don't technically count as free as its not a full product and shouldn't be posted here.
But You can try a game for free...Am i the only one who feels demo's don't technically count as free as its not a full product and shouldn't be posted here.
It's becoming so rare that it's almost luxuryAm i the only one who feels demo's don't technically count as free as its not a full product and shouldn't be posted here.
I agree with you and I also think free play days shouldn't count too if this is the case.Am i the only one who feels demo's don't technically count as free as its not a full product and shouldn't be posted here.
US GwG 08/16/17I'm not sure if we can take it because I already have the game, but Red Faction: Armageddon is free with Gold in Korea: https://www.microsoft.com/ko-kr/p/red-faction-armageddon/bwb89bb14c5h?ocid=AID2000142_aff_7593_1243925&activetab=pivotverviewtab
I got it yesterday morning.RE: GwG Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
I contacted MS support and he stated it is pushed back until tomorrow.
The X1 BC version is available but not the 360 version.I got it yesterday morning.
Thanks. I guess claiming via Microsoft.com didn't get the Xbox.com version this time around. Had to get both.The X1 BC version is available but not the 360 version.
Edit - GwG Indiana Jones 360 version now ready.
Search Results for "indiana jones and the emperor's tomb" (xbox.com)
HumIf you claim the 360 version it also gives you the X1 version but not the other way around.
