Xbots said the PS5 was a ticking time bomb, turns out it was the Xbox

Turning off servers is normal I expect that, discontinuing a store without have an alternative is whack.

I don't expect microsoft to do this anytime soon, no point spending money and research on all this just to flush it 10 years from now.

Games for Windows says don't be so sure.

Destiny came out in 2014 we’ve been “always online” since then.

Have you gone more than a week without an internet connection since XB1 release date??

I already know the answer is no, so there would have been nothing stupid about the OG X1 plans. In fact it would have been the bridge between the old way of gaming and the new one we accept today.

I did when that texas freeze happened a couple months ago

True, but my point was more about Microsoft being willing and able to leave an initiative they've blown money on if they think it makes sense for them to do so.

Destiny isn't the only game for consoles.

No, I have not been without connection for a week but there are oftentimes situations that your internet is down to something outside your control e.g. network issues, service suspended etc.



You're really bold claiming it would not have been stupid yet the decision makers reversed the changes due to the backlash online.

It shouldn't BE a priority for ALL games. Having some online only games here and there is making some exceptions the hard rule which shouldn't fly.

The point is people have selective concern.

But Xbox doesn't have any games. Why would this matter?

Well you would have never lost access to Xbox games

Internet people are stupid

And even then there's simple workarounds for those that didn't.

No need for trust. You can back up and play your digital Xbox games indefinitely
