I’ve been with Xbox since the original console, getting Xbox Live in 2007 for Halo 3, and I never really looked back. That is not to say I ignored other platforms. I enjoyed PlayStation and Nintendo, but I never felt compelled to build my profile there the way I did with Xbox.
That mindset began to shift around two years ago. I started gaming less, and some of Xbox’s decisions made me feel like my nearly two decades of loyalty mattered less than attracting new audiences.
