But fuck up all of my saved games? Kill all the stuff I actually spent MONEY on because the online service they don't require to run is no longer available? The hell with you, buddy.
How can Microsoft determine what files were from legitimate copies of games and which ones were from cracked downloaded games? They wanted to make it hard for you to move your data over to another machine and start up again pirating games, I'd guess.

What kills me is that nobody makes you go online with your 360, it's not necessary. I've never hooked mine up to the internet and have no interest in doing so. I don't like the kind of people I would be playing with (and on my own admission, I'm totally antisocial from working retail for so many years) and these people throwing a fit that they can't go on Xbox Live anymore because they were screwing Microsoft out of money by pirating games are exactly the type of people I don't want to interact with. Maybe with people actually paying for their games perhaps development studios can make a few more bucks and stay in business a little longer instead of dying off at an insane rate like they've been doing for the past few years.
