Trick Microsoft Store into Thinking you Have Games You Don't Own, Xbox Games & Download Them (2?)

Note: YOU CANNOT PIRATE GAMES WITH THIS METHOD.
So, I discovered that if you have an Xbox app, e.g. Minecraft Xbox One Edition or Forza Horizon 2, you can simply trick the store into thinking you have those games, and maybe in future, download them. You can also use this to make the store think you have games you don't own or that are discontinued and you don't own that are Windows apps, download the app, (but YOU CAN'T OPEN THE APP WITHOUT A VALID LICENCE CONNECTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT) and dump the files. Hopefully this will be useful someday, maybe in downloading & decrypting Xbox apps.

UPDATE: uploaded files.

this is my only tutorial, it might help people, so no killpost.

I'm on my Windows Phone, GBATemp won't let me upload. Old thread for downloads: https://gbatemp.net/threads/trick-m...box-games-download-them.634894/#post-10187649

if you own a game on one xbox, but not the other, you can do a network transfer in the xbox to 'copy' the owned game. it also works on 'Game Pass' games. idk why i know this but i do.

Yes ,if you own dlc of any of the gamepass games, it pops up as you own this, even if you do not have a subscription ATM.
Upon launching, the console nags you with a " do you own this game?".

For example farming simulator 22.

Thought this was well known.
I mean, it's not that known, but depending where you look, everyone knows.

I never knew the console had a screen like that. I thought it would just close on the splashscreen like W10M. On Windows it's 'You don't have this app in your account' and even if the Microsoft Store isn't installed, it'll just say there's a problem with the game. *Tested on my school PCs*
