Whats up with this, phil? We should be trying to maintain our robust archive of games. Sadly, This is the service games future, yall.
Why doesn’t Microsoft care about game perseveration?

Isn't the BC thing because it uses a software solution to do BC and it's not fully running it at the hardware level only? On the native hardware the game is ran natively.
Them forcing a Microsoft Account for setup the first time isn't ideal but seems easy enough to deal with.
Considering these devices use Game Pass and the Xbox One can cloud stream future games for a level of forward compatibility it doesn't seem likely it's going to lose internet access.

If we’re just surrendering our power to the internet/services then why was this such a big deal in the Gran Turismo thread?
GT7 confirmed as always online (online connection required for "campaign" mode)
Same reason you don't care about Gamepass

But you claimed to care about game preservation.
There's a difference between required online to simply play a game at all and an online single time activation or can't you see that? Which would you rather have single activation and that's it or required internet to even use the game?
I get that you want to both sides this issue to fit a narrative but the two things aren't equal. Both are unfortunate and neither should be the case but they still aren't equal.

It is equal because at the end of the day you need an internet connection to play both.
The other problem with Microsoft’s push into fully going digital/streaming/cloud is licensing. Once they take a game off the service its gone forever, and once dvd/Blu-ray drives are gone for good thats a big problem

you a duck, why you not a pirate?
everyone in that thread like "I don't care
"Sony stans got a weird persecution complex
Because they want to take over the gaming industry for different reasons. They're not doing it for art or the love of gaming. They're doing it for control over a demographic so they can then implement some other form of nonsense in the absence of competition.
They thought that they had the juice to a point where they assume they could put a camera in your living room built into a system that always stayed on

They're so phony, I tried watching one of their live events and all the host and speakers are clearly paid actors and don't play video games

I got all my games connected to my Gamertag, sitting at about 700 give or take it
Now if you think Microsoft is about to go offline and I should be worried?
I mean if it did happen then I would miss everybody
See you on gamepass so you won't be lonely
