Dear @asha_shar@XBOX
On behalf of VGP, we would like to share our perspective as a retailer that has proudly supported the gaming industry and the Xbox brand for many years.
When Microsoft originally introduced the vision for the Xbox One with a strong emphasis on digital ownership, the response from consumers was immediate. Sony took advantage of that moment by positioning the PlayStation 4 as the console that embraced physical game ownership, and history shows how influential that decision became.
Today, the market is shifting once again. Sony appears to be moving further toward a digital-first future, creating an opportunity for Microsoft to differentiate itself by becoming the industry's strongest advocate for physical media.
We encourage Microsoft to revisit Project Helix and make physical games a core part of its strategy. There remains a passionate and dedicated audience that values collecting, preserving, lending, trading, and truly owning the games they purchase. As a retailer, we see that demand every day.
The saying "what goes around comes around" feels especially relevant. Years ago, Sony benefited by championing physical ownership while Microsoft moved toward digital. Today, Microsoft has an opportunity to reverse that narrative and become the company that stands behind consumer choice.
Many gamers still look back on the Xbox 360 era as the golden age of Xbox. The platform was synonymous with innovation, great games, and strong relationships with both players and retail partners. We believe Microsoft can recapture much of that goodwill by reaffirming its commitment to physical gaming and by bringing Project Helix to market.
As one of Microsoft's retail partners, we believe a renewed investment in physical media would benefit consumers, retailers, publishers, and Xbox itself. We respectfully encourage you and your leadership team to consider this opportunity and help usher Xbox back to the position of industry leadership that so many fans remember.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to seeing Xbox continue to innovate while supporting the millions of players who still value physical game ownership.
Sincerely
VGP

This message is written on behalf of many German and European Xbox creators I’ve spoken with. Under the new Xbox leadership and the New Spirit, we are genuinely hopeful for real change.
However, it is still extremely difficult for us to get game codes, early previews, event invites or just getting noticed. There is no direct contact to local Xbox teams — everything routes through third-party agencies.
This creates endless back-and-forth: agencies refer us to the US Xbox team, the US team sends us back because we’re not American, and eventually the 3rd party agencies reject us with generic excuses that they “can’t help”. Many talented creators have already given up trying to get in contact with Team Xbox.
This loop directly results in significantly less high-quality Xbox-focused content in one of Europe’s biggest markets. If Xbox truly wants to grow in Germany or Europe under this New Spirit, the local creator scene needs proper support: direct communication channels, fair access, and real investment in the region. We believe in the New Spirit and want to create great Xbox content with you. Please help us help Xbox succeed here.
Sorry for the longer post — this is written in close consultation with many European creators. We’re all very aware that most of our channels aren’t as big as US-based ones yet, but that’s exactly the classic chicken-and-egg problem. Many of us also know Xbox would prefer content in local languages, but gaming connects people across Europe and the world — which is why so many European creators run their channels in English. Having a Europe based channel in English should not be a reason to prevent contact with the local Xbox team.
