Wow. Someone is awfully on the offensive about the loss of something that was useless and pointless and not a big deal when it was announced ;)

Saying a feature like this is "useless/pointless" is just wrong.

Its not stupid, just impractical for Casuals and Gamers, basically anyone who doesn't want to make a game. It might mean more indie games for the XB1, but with the Parity Clause still in effect, PCs and PS4 will still take the indies,

its hardly a negative or a selling point.

Specially, when people like to call the PS4 the indiestation, when this devkit thing would make the XB1 explode with the level of shovel and crapware that plagues steam right now.
