Don't forget the games that were already pulled. This includes every Valve game that isn't Portal: Still Alive (which is arguably a better version of the game than the version that came with the now-delisted Orange Box but whatever) and Portal 2, as well as other major titles like Skate 2 and Jet Set Radio.

Microsoft has the money to figure this out, they just don't actually care enough to. I mean for fuck's sake, they own Bethesda and we still can't even play Quake 4 on modern Xboxes. What's the excuse there, Phil?

After years of dealing with his PR statements one after another, I just switched back to PlayStation for the first time since around 2015 since they don't yank my chain about features. I still think they've put less effort and freedom into their platform, but they never say something positive like this and then just forget about it.
