What would people get? An impenetrable mess that, at best, would still require a fake NAT and a server farm to work. Then they'd need to do things like strip out any dedicated IP's, Oracle database calls, other copyrighted code, etc that might be floating around in there.
This doesn't apply to most individual PC titles, as they are essentially standalone.įor Microsoft to release official software that allowed people to play Xbox 1 games like Halo 2 online, they'd have to release large chunks of Xbox Live. Further, they have legal commitments to their partners to keep Xbox Live a secure system. All of these things are signed and protected to prevent A: online cheating, B: griefers, C: penis spam. The game expects friend requests, chat requests, server pings, score update connections, DLC purchases, etc. There are a lot of people asking for upgrades to the Xbox that have been blocked for this one particular game, which Microsoft has kept alive for 4 years after the original console (that didn't sell that well anyway) went away.Īll of this relies upon Xbox Live.
This has limited the Xbox 360 to a specific number of friends on their friends list, older types of interactions with people online, etc. Halo 2 is being end-of-lifed in no small part because it relies on an outmoded Xbox 1 Live server ecosystem. Please investigate the situations of individual titles before suggesting blanket solutions.
