Microsoft Promises Xbox One Will Not Turn Into A Brick In Ten Year’s Time

The biggest concerns people have with the Xbox One is the 24 hour internet check-in. Many people feared that the console would be useless if Microsoft turned off the servers for the machine in ten year’s time or so. The company promised something like that wouldn’t happen.

Major Nelson responded to concerns when the question was raised on reddit:

“I’ll just say this: We haven’t even started this generation, so it’s kind of early to talk about the end of the generation. That’s certainly something we would not do. That’s not the way the system is designed. It’s designed for flexibility. But let’s get the system out there first.”

This is still an unclear answer because the 24 hour internet check-in is still required to authenticate your Xbox One games in the short term. It’s possible later down the road, this policy will change during the end of the Xbox One’s life cycle…

  1. Well… Major Nelson has said that that’s not the sort of thing he would let happen. And I believe him.

    But he’s not the one calling the shots at Microsoft.

  2. So the reply to questions about giving up all control of console and games to the Man is “It is designed for the opposite of what you know it does. Let’s just buy it okay?”

    Bullshit. That response was complete jerkoff fluff. “Let’s just get it out there”? Put your head in a blender.
