This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

Hate to see any digital stores go but there isn’t much left that can’t be found on other consoles or the One/SeriesSX Microsoft store. Had a lot of fun panic buying when the Wii U eShop closed- enjoyed the community discussion and the thrill of finding all the hidden gems. It just seems most of the good stuff on the 360 store has been delisted for years. :/
Yeah, at least Microsoft is invested heavily in backwards compatibility, is still allowing people to download purchases they’ve made, and are continuing to offer backwards compatible Xbox games for Series X.
I mentioned this in another thread, but this is less Nintendo closing down a store full of games that cannot be found anywhere else, and more like Steam dropping support for Windows 7.
Well put! I also wonder if backwards compatible purchases made after the shutdown will retroactively work on 360. I bought stuff for 360 through the new Microsoft store often and it showed up fine.
