X1 Back in the Game?

http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update

They finally backpedaled, but is it too late? Personally, I think they'll win back a lot of TAers that decided to go with a PS4 by doing this.

I'm glad, the industry needs HEALTHY competition to keep the standards for games high.

Rejoice, complainers, because when you complain about things, if you do it loud enough, sometimes people listen!

Too all those that kept saying "stop complaining!!!"...

...You're welcome.

As for me, shafting Indie devs and forcing Kinect are still beefs I hold with the machine, as well as not trusting the company anymore with the decisions they wanted to initially make about it in the first place. I can't safely say that they won't implement those features in "firmware updates" in the future, and I can't say I want to be the crash test dummy to find out.

But my choice in video games never are the "one true choice" for the community.

Who knows, maybe with enough complaints, they'll remove Kinect mandatory also. But I think enough loyalists will cave back and ease the pain for them, allowing them to stick to their guns the rest of the way.

We'll see.

PS - IGN says it's also not region locked as well though now I wonder what's going on about that restrictive country list, since the connection is required to initially set up?
