This Week in Business is our weekly recap column, a collection of stats and quotes from recent stories presented with a dash of opinion (sometimes more than a dash) and intended to shed light on various trends. Check every Friday for a new entry.
Earlier this week, we looked at Microsoft's decision to block unlicensed third-party peripherals from working on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, and asked what kind of impact that would have on unlicensed accessibility devices (potentially devastating) and the impact it would have on Microsoft's fig leaf excuse for the move, cheaters (next to none).
Today we're going to ask a different question about Microsoft removing functionality of its game systems a decade after launch and once users have come to rely on it: are they even allowed to do that?
