Fired and bring the other men he knew the business yes they hate him but he knew what he was doing

To be clear about what this shutdown does and what it means. The Xbox 360 store is shutting down. Games that are backwards compatible on 8th gen Xbox One and 9th gen Xbox Series consoles will still be sold on those systems as part of the backwards compatibility program. Previously purchased games/dlc that you already own are NOT going away. You will still have access to your purchase history abd be able to redownload them. What this means in terms of the loss: Games that were only sold on the 360 marketplace will be gone, and no more purchases done on the system.

I wouldn't suggest folks wait on buying any of these games their interested in or other 360 XBLA games stuck on the 360 because other online shop closures have shown certain publishers have pulled their games down early.

In a follow up, I think the Tron arcade game is definitely worth a mention. It’s only $5 USD, but for some reason it’s unlisted (not delisted, you can still buy it). It won’t show up if you’re browsing through the console storefront, so you have to search for it. It’s a classic, and it’s kinda bizarre that Discs of Tron is forward compatible with One/Series systems when the original arcade game it spun off from isn’t!

First by having to license things relevant to their sport (like car brands, sports league agreements, people's likeness, etc.) and second by very often adding licensed musics on top of it. To bring back old Forza Horizon games, Playground Games would have to renew licenses with car brands, third party parts makers (rims for exemple), various participating brands (like all the sponsors in the first game) and each of their radio songs. Old Forza Motorsport games would also have to renew contracts with all real racing tracks used in their games (and hope they agree to push previous versions of the tracks and previous names without asking for in game change). And then there's the hastle for finding current legal representatives for brands that may no longer exists or have changed owners (who might also not be interested in advertising old products anyway).

"Blows up reeeeaaaaal good!" SCTV reference, right? Great and timely video. Thanks HMJ.

We have to have very similar taste when it comes to these genre of games as blown away by how many I now have to buy. Really hope they are on the steam deck. Thanks for an awesome video as always!

a lot of these games are BC and BC games will remain on the store

@@docc19 Because most releases aren't backward compatible. Because you can mod a 360 and you can't mod a PS4 or Series X.

@@docc19Also, some players are more sensitive to input latency. Personally I’m usually happy playing BC games on my Series X but I know a lot of competitive shmup players are frustrated by the extra frame of latency playing for example Ikaruga on One/Series vs. playing it on 360.

Sad times 😢

Always love the style of games you pick.

I'm grateful to you for make this videos you are a very nice honest person you tell the truth all of the time 👏 🙌

Cool down your credit card and warm up your soldering iron. These games are archived. Play them on an RGH.

Ah ok. This video was a mix of stuff I already had and stuff I purchased in the past few months. I must have bought that a while ago. Sorry about that confusion.
