Awesome, and solidarity, but who plays xbox these days? Not to denigrate the stance but maybe they also ran a cost/benefit analysis on the effort to port to xbox

a public BDS statement will cost them more than an xbox port

It will be interesting to see what the fallout is. Around here its seen as the right opinion but game publishers probably have the most brainwormed people at the head and will be taking note

Backwards compat to 360 otherwise no. I guess cross xbox and pc purchases but nobody would willingly afflict themselves with the windows store.

Nothing that cant be solved grabbing a £30 360 off ebay and hacking it

I don't judge people based on their gaming preferences. But, I am ready to jailbreak my PS5 due to Sony's stance on physical media and other foolishness. It feels like these old boxes are entering a period of obsolescence.
