| vivster said: This is pretty much the exact thing that is the X1 BC. Because MS has to ask for a license to be able to get the free version to the X1. That's why it's called cross buy lite. Because you can't buy games on X1 to play them on 360. Or maybe in the future we can? I wouldn't see a reason why that wouldn't be possible. Then it's actual cross buy :) |
Again, no. Cross-Buy takes a current release game, and allows you to play it on two different gaming devices. Cross-Buy games are designed to run specifically on the systems they are designed for. For example, a game that you buy for the PS3 is code-wise the same game that you play on the PS Vita or any other device.
The Xbox One has backward compatibility. The game code is the exact same code for the original Xbox 360 game. No code is changed in order to run the game on the Xbox One. What does happen is an emulator/virtual machine is run so that the original game code will run on the current hardware.
Cross-Buy = Game coded for the specific system on which it plays.
Backward Compatibility = Original code runs in an emulator/virtual machine to allow it to run on newer hardware.
You're attempting to justify your ridiculous opinion with an incredibly poor argument. No matter how many times you attempt to justify it, it doesn't make it true. Backward compatibility is backward compatibility, always has been. It's always been the ability to run older software designed for older hardware or operating systems on newer hardware or on newer operating systems. It's never been the ability to obtain a free license for the same game on two different platforms.
