Full size ads on startup and killing gold means its only on the business of staying in business. Xbox hasn't been decent in over a decade and a non gamer won't know how it actually worked. Plus they killed all their studios

@thirteene @DataBlade To be 100% fair, the 360 had ads, BUT sometimes said ads benefited the player. Like "watch ad to recieve free avatar items". I got some cool stuff that way. And I do think that a non-gamer CAN turn Xbox around, it's just pretty unlikely.

I did the same, but looking back it feels like the added the rewards so people accepted them, and once they normalised having adds in the system they removed the rewards.
