“Xbox One was originally going to require frequent online check ins, I think daily or weekly”

“it wasn't as smooth as it is on a PC to bring up the chat and quickly type commands”

“It has very little in the way of exclusives, and it can run emulators on Dev Mode.”

“Microsoft have proven you can build an effectively unbeatable security system for general computing devices”

“being online only and blocking the resale/trade of physical disc based games”

“for the internet to be online all the time "to validate software licenses"”

“Did they learn nothing from the shit storm that MS set off when they tried this with the Xbox years ago?”

“But the system software quality is absolute rubbish.”

“It's never a seamless experience that you would expect of a game console”

“constant crashes, poor performance, it was just such a constant pain in my ass”

“Xbox is a dedicated gaming device and while the game/device is updating I'll have to sit there.”

“turn on the xbox, wait 20-30min for mandatory updates, then need to re-sign in”

“The Xbox One might be single handledly the most complex and secure piece of human hardware.”

“I would say they got it all right with the Xbox one.”

“showing a new logo while the machine is doing something meaningless to us is an act of brand destruction”

“Every console on the market right now is locked-down proprietary garbage”

“Microsoft decided they wanted to look more like Playstation, focused on gaming”

“fairly trivial countermeasures that could have been used to prevent it”

“They kept piracy off the console for its whole lifespan, which was the entire point of these security measures.”

“They also told everyone they added more anti glitching to later hardware revisions”

“the xbox one is extremely secure, despite not being perfectly secure”

“It wasn't unhackable and decrypted versions of games already have been dumped.”

“It literally got hacked, that's what the article is about. It is NOT unhackable.”

“it held up against 13 years of dedicated efforts by people with physical access to the device”

“the original Xbox One announcement needing a Kinect and persistent internet connection”

“it was a good piece of hardware”

“everyone was calling it the X bone because it had no games and cost a million bux”

“The game experience never improved and the home entertainment thing never materialized”

“Xbox One was a stupid name, and the current letters are just straight up confusing.”

“the name alone was indicative of a rot and disfunction beyond comprehension”

“I find myself mixing up the One X, One S, Series X, and Series S”
