Offline Achievement support, pins, custom backgrounds and the ability to see recently used apps. All of those standard features are tucked behind the veil of an Internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer\u2019s response? Simple. \u201cI\u2019ll push.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BuldozerX?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BuldozerX<\/a> Great, thanks.

It didn\u2019t help that Sony was so eager (as they should have been) to come out and twist the knife with targeted ads.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox One didn\u2019t seem like it was being made for gamers. It was a TV box that played games, and it was set to be walled off behind so many rules and \u201cfeatures\u201d that it seemed downright invasive.<\/p>\n<p>Now? Phil Spencer is in charge of Xbox, not Don Mattrick. The console has constant updates, the team is clearly listening to the community and they\u2019ve addressed every bit of feedback that they can.<\/p>\n<p>These offline features will be fixed. I say that confidently because Microsoft has handled the Xbox One exceptionally well since that first year of very backwards marketing. Which, hey, kudos to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to the Xbox One, some features are reserved for those connected to the Internet.
