Open Letter: We, the Gamers, Demand Math Blasters Be Added to Xbox Game Pass, or Else

Dear Phil,

Another month has passed and the PC smash hit Math Blaster Episode I: In Search of Spot has still not been added to Game Pass. Microsoft continues to spit in the face of fans by refusing to include the sci-fi classic. Game Pass launched seven years ago – enough is enough. From this moment forward, we will be canceling our $10/month subscription. We intend to make you sweat through your vintage video game t-shirts until you have no choice but to rectify this Math Blaster injustice.

Math Blaster Episode I: In Search of Spot is a classic action game filled with aliens, space fights, and tough math equations. After your companion Spot is abducted by aliens, you are thrust into a space-trotting adventure that contains more narrative depth than any of the Assassin’s Creed games present on Game Pass. It even outshines the shooting of Halo Infinite, which also doesn’t even contain math problems in between sequences. Is this what modern gaming has become?

Don’t tell us Microsoft can’t afford Math Blaster. We saw the Bethesda and Activision Blizzard acquisitions and the billions you spent on games that can barely muster a 7 out of 10 from IGN.

We are tired of going unheard. We don’t know what you have against Math Blaster or the Math Blaster fan base, but your silence on the matter is deafening. If you wish to keep receiving our $10/month for Game Pass, the following demands must be met:

  1. You must wear a Math Blaster T-Shirt in public before June 3, 2024. It must be fully on and you cannot be wearing a hat or sunglasses to try and hide your identity.
  2. Math Blaster Episode I: In Search of Spot must be added to Game Pass (both for the Xbox and PC).
  3. You must announce a brand new Math Blaster trilogy (it doesn’t have to ever see the light of day, you just have to announce it and then slowly let it die, like you did with Scalebound).
  4. Sit down with a Hard Drive reporter to discuss why you have been so reluctant to embrace Math Blaster yet were ok with Redfall.
  5. Mail Hard Drive a personal apology letter along with 1,600,000 unmarked Microsoft Points.

You have until Noon PST, June 3, 2024 to meet these demands. If you do not, we will destroy Game Pass $10 at a time.

Signed,
