Even if they ever sort themselves out, this will be the gen where Xbox will never catch a break, anything good that would ever come out of that system will just be stamped on by the negative, even from the past going forward. |
Because for the small steps they make in the right direction, there's these threatening glimpses of their true motives constantly shining through that are incredibly anti competitive or anti consumer even which they need to be held accountable for being as influential and powerful a company they are. They are a source of inspiration, and what they do will be copied by other companies. The way that Windows 10 is installing itself being the latest example of what I'm talking about. The painfully mixed signals their Xbox division gives is an example. UWP and its non tamperable, DRM heavy file system is an example.
And then of course there were those of us who had to be Guinea pigs with the 360s hardware simply because Microsoft wanted a one year jump on the start of the previous generation. At their consumers expense they tried to gain control of a market. Some of us don't forget that shit, and still wait to see a change in corporate culture from them. I've been burned before, and for that I want them to suffer (or at least genuinely change)
