Xbox one is a good way to force people into upgrading into the next iteration of your games, just close the servers and people will have no choice but to purchase the new version of your games, it's genious, if you are not a consumer

This might be pure speculation, but if games are tied to your account it could be like steam, change hardware, OS, but the service (xbox live) and your account with all your games will be there, ready to download and play

not if they close the servers on purpose, imagine cod 15 is coming out but a huge number of people are still playing cod 12 because it was very well done, developers will be able to close down the cod 12 servers and force people to upgrade because with the Xbone you won't be able to do anything with the old version. At least now you can still play the compaing or local multiplayers if the servers are shut down but in the future you will be screwed

Did they close the modern warfare 1/2 blops 1 servers before mw3 and blops 2 released? if they did, then you might be right, who knows, upgrading from one game to a better one every 1or 2 years is pretty common this generation
