Xbox 360 RROD is the root cause. If a Console maker can’t produce reliable hardware, people are going to look for a reason to get the competitor Console.

Blaming Mattrick is like blaming Lee Iacocca for Detroit losing the gen. Japanese Supervision, champ.

They are just ahead of their time. They were trying to bring the Future with Xbox One and didn’t expect the pushback about “always online” and physical media. To this day there are still Losers crying about no physical media releases of games even though there is no real benefit of having it on disk. Most won’t even fit on a disk. It’s not a 4K UHD (of which I have an impressive collection of juuuuuuust sayin’)

Discs kind of suck. How do you never ever ever scratch them ever? Sometimes they have scratches for No Reason.

MULTIPLE times, I’ve opened a brand new disc game for the very first time, and it wasn’t in the Holder securely. Loose in the case.

It seems like Console gamers lack Engineering Awareness. Modern consoles have SSDs. SSDs mean faster loading. Install the game on the SSD. If it loads from the disc, it’s slower than the SSD.

Many AAA Titles don’t even fit on a Disc btw.

If you care about Preservation, then join the chorus who Hate Exclusives and want everything on PC. If a game is on PC, it’s Preserved imho.

Look at what Mattrick left to do and how it went

He was in a position to stave off the destruction of gaming, and instead he leaned into the destruction. Dude doesn't get skewered nearly enough

That’s not fair. No one who “leaves” to do anything succeeds. Every somewhat successful thing is lightning in a bottle.
