Xbox original = No more XBL :(

[PootyMack]

As most already know, M$ is stopping xbox live support for everything xbox original.
While I'm sure everyone already knows this, I just wanted to rant for a minute about how fucked up this is on so many levels.
1) alot of people still have xbox 1s including our beloved general. sony still has online for PS2 (for how long? who knows) but it just seems to me like M$ is trying to follow inSony's foot steps. My son has just got back his 3rd 360 from repair, each time I sent it in was to specifically fix the fact that it wouldn't play xbox 1 games. Now he has his 3rd one (brand new) and it STILL won't play xbox 1 games!?!?! I laughed when sony got rid of b/c but now it seems M$ is on the same track with them.
2) Not only are they cutting off the consoles but the games themselves *raises eyebrow*. OK, you just started putting xbox originals on the marketplace for people to purchase and enjoy, then you decide to take away the most enjoyable part of the game!?!?! I've been noticing a growing trend in this country lately, and that's to screw the public as hard as you can, and not even try to make it look like you're not. We all know in America big business is only out for themselves (duh!) but at least they use to make it look like they cared about the customer. Not anymore. It's seems to be a better business practice to just fuck people over AND show them how you're doing it. Why, as the American people, do we keep letting this happen. There are so many of us. We could stand up against these businesses and government with no problem. Think "A Bugs Life". That movie could motivate the entire country.

So much I could say on this issue and everything it leads to afterward on how our "Civil Rights" are constantly violated. I agree w/ Pooty's post 100% and encourage more users to voice thier opinions in this thread. I for one would like to hit on the concept of XBL as a whole. To make a long story short, the ONLY reason I bothered getting Xbox was because of the online fighters they had to offer ....I bought several hundred $$$ worth of games for Xbox1 for one reason only...because it was exclusive Xbox online. I would have NEVER put all that $$ into MS products if I had the slightest suspicion they would pull some dick-head shit like this.

I will continue to add more to this post via edit cuz the previous paragraph is just the icing on the cake.

This is an outrage...with all of the products micro$oft generates revenue from you'd figure they could at least keep the online support for older games they've released, but noooo....they want to FORCE you to buy into their evil schemes.

Not to sound cocky but fear not my warriors, for I am THE Wizard and one thing I do, is find ways around things. I have a suggestion for those of us, including myself, who still like to play XB1 games online. I encourage all XBL gamers to head over to www.xbconnect.com, this is something I've messed with awhile back...basically it lets you install software on your PC that will allow you to play Xbox/360 games online, on servers not hosted by micro$oft.

In light of the circumstances I motion for all Black Dragon Xbox Live members to register and download the software at www.xbconnect.com, as an alternative to the micro$oft servers, and a potential new online server for our clan members. I would like input on this matter from officers and all clan members alike. What say you?

I'm definitely gonna take advantage of this, no doubt, I hope everyone else gets on it too, as well as plays the shit outta some XBL games before April, REGARDLESS of what's happening.

Ok, so check this out people, I was at N'SANE's house last night and we hopped on the 360 for an hour to play some MvC2, and then we decided to play Guilty Gear X2 Reloaded cuz he had never played it, but for some reason it would not play it or load it or anything. My 1st thought was they started w/ the cancelling of XBL for Xbox1 and BC-games early, but then we loaded up SF:AC and i went right to the game. Anyone know just WTF is going on here? It don't even make sense cuz, A.) we played MvC2 which is an XBL-Arcade D/L-able, JUST like GGX2#, but MY version of GGX2# is a BC-XB1 disc, which also happened to be compatible w/ the Arcade D/L for online play, and B.) SF: AC is also just a regular Xbox1 game that is BC, but NOT an XBL-Arcade D/L-able. If no one has any idea, I believe this is a job for .......(duh-duh--dundunDUNNNN)....
