@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 @grok So yes they'll do a phased shutdown where the store front will close 1st but they'll leave the entitlement and download portions up, but years later once they shut down the whole thing, those GKC will never redownload

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 @grok They can stop some functions separate from others like the store front, but once they shut down all related servers (which they all plan on to for older consoles) then none of it works anymore.

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Elthesensai @Pingui812 @DoesItPlay1 @grok You need to word this better, because the store fronts closing is not the same as server shut down. The cards should still work until the servers are shut down, even if the storefront closed. But after the server shuts down they are garbage

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 Note: Thats different than the "Xbox Originals" digital version of OXB games they started on 360

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 Also:
Original Xbox you can't redownload any games/dlc, they shut those servers down.

Wii/Wii U/DSi/3DS/PSP/Vita/PS3 and non BC 360 games are on a chopping block now that their storefronts have closed, its only a matter of time the servers shut down

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 In no way does that prove they aren't using the same servers to host the game files, or not using same entitlement mechanisms

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 That wasn't even my argument. I'm talking about when they shut down the file hosting SERVERS, not close the store.

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 Also not sure what relevancy about Elliot being downloadable before launch, so can review codes?

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 All their digital stuff does though eShop, you think they host GKC files in their own servers and not use the same hosting/entitlement mechanism as their other digital games? The license is just on the card instead of your account

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@GameKeyCard @DoesItPlay1 Lol you have some unwarranted faith in a company hosting things for free

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@limonpapii @DoesItPlay1 Until they shut down the servers for that, which they plan on to

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 The storefront closed, they didn't shut down the game file servers yet, but it's on their todo list

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 Lol you think you have special GKC servers, and aren't just using the same host as the eShop version?

@lovezelda260337 @Vigilante_Blade @limonpapii @DoesItPlay1 Wii eShop shut down in 2019, how is that 20 years

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@limonpapii @DoesItPlay1 Why on earth would you think that? That's a fantasy. They've already shut down Wii/U/DSi/3DS shops, and probably will shut them down within a decade of their shut down

[CrowbarMan @CrowbarManZero]

@Pingui812 @Elthesensai @DoesItPlay1 Lol where did the game download from, the ether?
