@cav@infosec.exchange Nice.
I actually remember exactly the last X-Box game I bought. It was Guardian Heroes, as a digital download attached to my X-Box Live account.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardian_Heroes
Less than a month after this purchase, someone called Xbox support and stole my account - essentially simply by asking politely of their phone support desk.
With a phone call of my own and solid proof of ownership, I got my account back, except that my digital purchases were gone.
My simple polite request to actually restore my account to it's pre-theft state was ignored.
So...I canceled my Live subscription that same week, and I haven't bought anything from X-box / Microsoft games in roughly 15 years, and I haven't recommended anything from either to any gamer friends in an equally long time.
But at least they didn't risk losing themselves $5.00 by restoring my digital purchase of a nearly forgotten Sega Saturn title.
