I hope to hell this blows up in their face. Quote Microsoft appears to be cracking down on third-party peripherals for its consoles. Players are reporting getting error messages when they try to use certain off-brand controllers on Xbox Series X/S, with the accompanying text telling them them that the devices are not authorized and will no longer usable come mid-November. The major policy change is sparking a loud outcry from various gaming communities, including fighting game players who often use third-party fight sticks for high-level competitions. The upcoming change was first reported last week over on WindowsCentral. An Xbox One user reported getting an 0x82d60002 error code when trying to use her existing off-brand Xbox controller. “A connected accessory is not authorized,” a console warning read. “Using unauthorized accessories compromises your gaming experience. For this reason, the unauthorized accessory will be blocked from use on 11/12/2023.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNESNESCUBE64 | 541 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Very anti-consumer. Although microsoft is a big fan of that kind of practice. I also think that maybe there would be a class action because of this. Edited November 2, 2023 by SNESNESCUBE64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnK, Cronus and all that other garbage needs to go or be put in their own lobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dra600n | 36 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Microsoft has been doing this since the Xbox one and wired controllers. Made all of my wired rockband instruments useless and I haven’t had the urge to play Xbox since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estil | 1,265 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The real question is, does Microsoft offer the Official Microsoft Xbox Seal of Quality on its games, controllers, and accessories? After all, who wants some junk third party crap that have not been approved by Microsoft and does not meet their standards in excellence in workmanship, reliability, and most of all, entertainment value?

It's pretty widely known (in our niche of a niche) that the SOQ effectively says "we paid a fee to get access to publish on the platform." It didn't mean the item is necessarily well made, it just meant the cartridge had the proprietary chip info to not blank out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videomation is the classic example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one accessory I don't really get is the "Speedboard"...from the way you're supposed to use the controller with it, it looks more like a slowboard!
