NOTE:
Now, on to the thread!
As a physical media enthusiast and game collector, I am have increasingly been thinking about the future of these consoles. I own around 70 physical games between these two systems. With many of these games requiring day one patches to properly function, or for additional features for the One X and Pro, will these games even work when the servers are inevitably shut down?
I realize some people don't care about replaying games, but I still regularly play retro games (they account for about a third of my gaming). For the first time, I'm concerned that eventually all these games from this generation will either be a shell of their former selves or outright unplayable.
