so, does that mean that XBox 1 players are left out in the cold?  (Pun intended).  Or can we "earn" and "trade" these as well?

We have to uninstall and then download and install 7 Gigs?! Seriously? There are people out there with slow connections, or limits on how many Gigs they can use? I mean sheesh, if I was still in college a 7 Gig download would take hours! I don't even want to think about how long it will take my Xbox to download and install 7 Gigs and I have fast internet. The whole point of the way Xbox is supposed to work (downloading updates in the background while games are running or while the system is off) is to allow the user to come home and find that their system has updated a game and start playing immediately, not spend all evening figuring out how to even get the game to work.

I wanted to grab some groceries and while the system and game loads, quickly put away groceries and start playing immediately. Now it sounds like I'll be better off just coming straight home, fussing with the darn uninstall/download and reinstall process and while I'm waiting, waste more gas driving to the store. This situation here makes me think of how broken the video game development industry is, and it takes major problems to bring that to mind. Wish I'd known this was the case before I left for work at 8:30 am PST. But no, the Xbox update wasn't even available then. I suppose it's a first world problem but still... Video games are supposed to be an escape/distraction from real life, not an addition to frustration and this counts as the latter right now.

I didn't have to!

Check your Game Updates folder on your XB1!

Holy Hatchet, Batman!  Under my personal XB1 menu "The Long Dark" is listed as an Update ready to install!  Downloading now!  

No love in the XB1 store yet.
