The electric company by me gives out credits for outages.

The cable company does as well. That cable company also is my ISP.

I only blame the dealer if the car breaks down due to a defect, which the dealer’s warranty covers. If I damage a car on the road in say a pothole, my insurance covers it.

Your arguments hold no water.

If Microsoft fixed the problem, good. But that does not excuse the outage. and no, an empty apology means nothing, just like it means nothing when professional athletes apologize after being caught cheating. They’re not sorry the system was down. They’re only sorry people noticed.

You blame the electric company’s when your power goes out, your cable provider when your tv’s go out, internet provider when you lose that. all of which you pay for and they never offer any refund, usually barely and apology if any are down for a period of time. Blame your mechanic or dealer when your car breaks down, which you then pay to fix, with no added benefits or free lube job. The fact is that there was a problem, they fixed it and it will most likely not happen again. The fact they even apologized should be good enough, they are a company with millions of subscribers and do their best to keep the products they supply in top condition.

This is horseshit, fine they’re giving us a free game, but why not a voucher for the points instead? Why not give us a game we want? Hell I’d take Duke nukem 3D over this game.

I think Microsoft is handling this all wrong.
