No.

But I got some snake oil to sell you.

Haha, if you are so sure, just bet. An avatar for a year, nothing crazy. And a 25% discount on snake oil.

They're not getting rid of Xbox Gold, but they'll probably change the name to Xbox Plus.

If you can't beat 'em, copy 'em.

They are ditching the 'Live', because the console will no longer be able to connect to the internet

Ba dum tsss

 

[Captain Toad]

Yes

I miss the Microsoft from the original Xbox and 360 days. God they were good days. The Xbox brand of today is something I just cannot relate to in any way whatsoever.

 

[LordBlodgett]

you bought an xbox because you liked the name xbox live?

The fact that you took this seriously shows the sad state of fanboyism today.

So, this change meant absolutely nothing.

Oh well, it was a slow news day.

It depends. Just as Coca Cola hides a shrinking of drink sizes behind a fancy bottle redesign, a change of brand is the best time to distract the audience so they don't see what is actually changed. Smoke and mirrors.

The fact that you think I took it seriously shows that your sarcasm detector is broken.

Marketing is the fucking cringiest career path on the planet.

*shrugs* pays the bills, keeps my family happy, let's me play with expensive toys like high end cameras and the latest Mac's, and marketing people are always treated like the darling children of a company, we get to break all the rules, act differently than everyone else, and tend to be the department of fun, where everyone wishes they worked.

Meanwhile Sony has copied Microsoft and Nintendo for decades.

Tomorrow Playstation Plus renamed Playstation Live. Sony stock 50%+

Don't feed the troll. It's a waste of your time and energy.
