Xbox’s July outage re-sparks fears over digital game ‘ownership’
The Xbox outage might have been resolved, but some gamers still have some lingering worries about the future of gaming.
Yesterday, Xbox Live went through a long outage that left many users unable to sign into the online services and even play some online games. The investigation into the matter ended up taking longer than expected, getting resolved late last night. While it’s great that Xbox players were able to finally get back online, a recent Reddit thread raised some concerns about having to constantly be online to play games nowadays.
