    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.
