  • Nycewithit1 NYCE WID !T🇭🇹 (@Nycewithit1) reported

    @theRealJayDub2 The title should be xbox has a problem and it's DRM. They say "criticised" like xbox don't deserve it lol

  • PeterOvo5 PeterOvo (@PeterOvo5) reported

    @BigCJohnsun @thicc_stick_boi IT security works in layers. They will employ every measure even if they don't need it. So when one layer gets broken the next layer is offering protection. The Digital DRM of Xbox is atrocious and needs to be fixed.

  • fuckbrittanyren illeterate papi (@fuckbrittanyren) reported

    @Xbox That’s a tuff one! I’d probably pick “The person who bought this needs to sign in… sign in with the account that bought the game or installed the app. If the game has a trial version that expired, but the game from the Microsoft store. For detailed instructions, select help.”

  • bullshityouboi Antichrist Trump (@bullshityouboi) reported

    @Txbcryptoindia @FMJLullaby @SnapBlastPLAY You’re clearly talking about game installs on your ssd. I’m talking about game progress data aka the data that shows for where you’re at in a game or how far you’ve reached. Now, Xbox protects this data through their free cloud service using wifi to automatically sync everything.

  • djb21212 Darius the Ultra-MAGA Man (@djb21212) reported

    Also @xbox: WHY IS ONLINE MANDATORY FOR YOUR CONSOLES? The recent outage showed that forced online to play your games or to even activate the console is a bad thing. How about enabling offline activation and game management? The #XBox360 could do it. WHY CAN'T THE CURRENT ONES?

  • yorksrover Phil Chamberlain (@yorksrover) reported

    @Cryptic_Vyper @Lefteex1 @MldGhost Not true. I genuinely don’t understand what exactly happened these last cpl of days, but my entire library is now digital and I work at sea. My Xbox is offline for a solid 10 months per year and I’ve never had an issue playing any of my games. I wasn’t affected this week either.

  • SuperTiso Tiso Spencer (@SuperTiso) reported

    @Gregory31973718 @doctorps4 The problem is you folks will confuse those of us, like myself, that wasn't affected by it as somehow defending it. No, we're telling you it didn't affect us, not that the problem isn't a serious issue Xbox needs to rectify moving forward or holding them accountable.

  • JulianRomio Julian Romio (@JulianRomio) reported

    @Oti09280470 Bruh, Gt7 is a fundamentally flawed game, and Xbox was inactive for a way shorter time than Gt7. Also, GT7 has many reasons to be spoken out due to many reasons, and that's a $70 game you can't even play offline. The Xbox issue is basically non-existent, and not everyone suffered

  • DarkAngelRafael 𝓡𝓪𝓯𝓪𝓮𝓵🖋️ (@DarkAngelRafael) reported

    @TheStadiaLife Dude only has 91 followers so likely a troll account or just a mentally ill Xbox fanboy. Google Stadia plays great on Opera GX where I first tested Stadio Pro 4K games. I tried Google Chrome on Stadia the same way and no issues. Dude is straight up lying or has **** internet.

  • Max32727610 Buzzmatic101 (@Max32727610) reported

    @WWEgames anyone having 'error occured while retrieving the latest data' message on XBOX series S. I cant access any online features. Had this for 5 days now! Any help please!

  • Pairadox96 Pairadox96 (@Pairadox96) reported

    W over 24 hours of issues w Xbox I have been able to climb in 4 and a half days to diamond 2 in apex solo queue because I have no friends. Idk how much I got left in me today but less then 24 hours to hit masters

  • IronClawGaming Iron Claw Gaming (@IronClawGaming) reported

    Let’s be perfectly clear on something. Even with the DRM issues Xbox has been having recently they are still the most pro-consumer of the big 3. Talk about reading disks for old games, 1P in GP day in day, actual support for devs with upfront payments. They are literally the best

  • SuperTiso Tiso Spencer (@SuperTiso) reported

    @Gregory31973718 @doctorps4 No, the correct answer would be "some" are defending it, not plenty, as plenty indicates many, a lot, etc. Since "many" were actively putting Xbox to task about their DRM issues, including the diehards, it's not hard to conclude it was a serious enough issue to be called out on.

  • MarcusCisnero11 Marcus Cisneros (@MarcusCisnero11) reported

    @YourFriendKyle_ I haven’t had a disconnect since day one on next gen Xbox in around 90 games

  • YomtovInPhilly John Yomtov Jr. (@YomtovInPhilly) reported

    @Victor_Lucas Xbox pushing system update 2 address concerns over purchased games being unplayable during an outage however they wont specify if its going to change course away from DRM -if I had to bet- DRM sadly is here to stay unless more pushback happens. We need a compromise!

  • Yuseithehedgeh1 The Shiny, Golden Touch SAW SONIC 2 (@Yuseithehedgeh1) reported

    How come I refunded the starter pack on Xbox, used that money to help me buy fortnite crew, and i still have it? Xbox and Fortnite need to fix this.

  • PatHCAnderson ThorOdin87 (@PatHCAnderson) reported

    @XboxSupport Hey asses I just got the Series S and got the 0x87e11838 error code... wanna fix your ****

  • xMulando Mulando (@xMulando) reported

    @XboxSupport just let the console behalf as it is in offline mode when services aren't available. This is really annoying and a problem with those "always online"-concepts. If a service is not available, just skip it if it isn't really needed for the game.

  • JamesLauseng James Lauseng (@JamesLauseng) reported

    @DoesItPlay1 this DRM issue is just the start of the problems for Microsoft in gaming. the cracks are starting to show. it's only the beginning of the end the unveiling of Xbox eventual true demise as a brand.

  • DerpedCrusader Derped Crusader 💛💙 (@DerpedCrusader) reported

    @SuperMewio Hope you don't have the problem I had, where I couldn't get Xbox controllers to work for 2 hours 🙃

  • GameSack Game Sack (@GameSack) reported

    @fazuk @Xbox @XboxSupport Yeah now that you mention it, you’re right. It is worse when I’m playing in 7.1 LPCM. They need to fix this.

  • hewhomrefrains He 💥 Whom 💥 Refrains (@hewhomrefrains) reported

    @tarnished_dwebb Not all Xbox users. I had zero issues and the console I use isn't my home console either. But please do go on and saying it like EVERY Xbox gamer was experiencing the issue.

  • SmoookeFPS スモーキー (@SmoookeFPS) reported

    Just figured out there’s a way to crash the server on Xbox and it works 100% of the time and u only need ur controller to do it 😐 well made game Btw

  • BelowDust Jorge (@BelowDust) reported

    @Xbox love the control but I'm officially on your 6th control. I don't even know if I'll buy another as all have bumper problems. The bumpers have been the worst engineered component on the controller. I have done repairs myself. And yeah I'm tired of fixing/buying them.

  • MalcomVex .. (@MalcomVex) reported

    @oliver_drk @MldGhost @XboxP3 The fact that he's been quiet on the DRM issue when he's usually vocal on the subject of game preservation is proof that it's all part of the plan and future of Xbox, shame!

  • cesarle76883429 cesar leon (@cesarle76883429) reported

    @OGG1993 how do you control to play tons of games while offline from the xbox service? to avoid download games and then remove the service and be able to play those in any console while offline? sincere ignorance.

  • ManifestOmenX Brian Cooper 🙅🏾‍♂️ (@ManifestOmenX) reported

    @Kmega4 It's the time of "xbox has issue"

  • IAreCleverPup Clever Pup 🐶 (@IAreCleverPup) reported

    @CivGame for the love of God can you please fix this game on Xbox?! Specifically series x? The game constantly crashes every 10 mins. I lose progress incredibly regularly because of it, and I spent 40 dollars on a game that I can rarely ever play because it won't launch either.

  • MisterEMojo Brock, no the other Brock (@MisterEMojo) reported

    @randi_rabbit @TurtleBeach @Xbox Yeah I can see some of the older models having the issues you mentioned especially the faux leather on the cups. The 700 Gen 2 cups are the nicest I've seen on TB honestly. Overall they feel robust and nicer than other TB headsets. I guess YMMV though.
