Re: Xbox Employee Recalls 'Sheer Hate & Vitriol' The Community Team Received In 2013

I didn't buy any consoles that generation- had moved from PS3 to my first PC build.

It seemed both shady and like a scam at the time. In retrospect I still don't understand the initial Kinect requirement. I'm still a fan of the entertainment center concept and I see what they were going for trying to make the Kinect mainstream, but forcing it was a bad idea.

I also feel like the Kinect was the inferior motion control hardware. The functionality just seemed so limited compared to the Wii approach.

Delusional.
The idea of the Xbox as an entertainment center was a good one that gets unjustly scapegoated.

Bad DRM, always-online, and the initial Kinect requirement are clearly what sunk the Xbone at launch.

It should be obvious that players prefer as much control as possible. It's a good thing this clown isn't at Microsoft anymore.
