As someone who doesn't have home internet atm full offline functionality is a must. I can play any GameCube game on my Wii, for free and without a direct internet connection anytime I want. A nearly 2 decade old white slab is worth more to me than the best of the modern age. That's not to dog on modern gaming, I love Sonic Frontiers and have been having a good time with TotK. Point is if I can only play something offline, why would I buy it when it can't be played offline. Especially if I have alternatives already set up and ready to go.
Exactly why I still primarily play my ps3 and my roomate's xbox 360 lol. Back when both sides actually worked and had great games. The only current gen console that's worth anything is the steamdeck, which everything I'd play on there I have my laptop for anyway
This even affected one of my friends yesterday, we were getting ready to play valorant, but he couldn't login because his valorant account was connected to his xbox account. This is why you never connect anything from other platforms to an account on a console unless you really want to bite the bullet and play it on there.
I wanted to play Minecraft Java, like all the other days. And the launcher said this: "Please log in to your Microsoft account." I said: "Huh, that's new. I normally don't have to login again." Then this "eroded badlands" error. I got damn pissed :(
Same here. I thought my pc updating earlier in the day broke something until I managed to find microsoft's outage page. It's so fucking dumb on so many levels
Its funny that you mentioned Minecraft because just yesterday after finally being able to afford a decent PC I finally got to play Minecraft and immediately after I bought it the servers crashed so I had to wait 7 hours to play a 15 year old game I just bought.
Wouldn’t it literally be cheaper for Microsoft to let more of their games be played offline? Maybe help same some server space for games that DO need it too?
Microsoft wants to track everything people do and get those numbers up with active users, sell ads, charge more for basic functionality. If you're not connected Microsoft doesn't want you playing anything because you aren't getting those numbers up.
I got really mad in my discord servers I was like "oh boy i cant wait to PLAY THIS MINECRAFT MODPACK. IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE IF XBOX WENT DOWN AND MY SINGLE PLAYER GAME I BOUGHT BEFORE IT CAME OUT ON THE 360 STOPPED ALLOWING ME TO LOGIN."
The service authentication isn't even a valid excuse either. Steam still authenticates your accounts if you're offline and allows you to play the games you bought. Hell, EA did too back in the day with Origin. It was more annoying since you had to reinput your login credentials, but it validates that it's one of the saved logins on the device and lets you play the damn game. Can't do that anymore with the EA app which is dumb, but not this shit with Xbox is even worse. It's no wonder why they lost/gave up on the console war, it's because they're too stubborn to give up the always online crap that ruined the launch of the Xbox one.

About the data cap, Egypt is a prime example, The cheapest internet plan, which comes around 120EGP without taxes, only gives you 140GB and, the speed is capped at 30 Mbps, the most expensive, coming at around a 1000EGP without taxes only gives you a Terabyte, with a speed cap of 100 Mbps, Which is a lot of money considering many people earn below minimum wage (6000EGP a month)! And, if your internet runs out, either pay for an extention or, stop using internet for the remainder of the month; There's no option for unlimited data!
The pc launcher requires authenticating with xbox live, so no. Java, bedrock, legends and dungeons where all affected since they all use the minecraft launcher
How the fuck does minecraft go down? WTF HAPPENED HERE THAT MADE IT SO MINECRAFT, FUCKING MINECRAFT COULDNT BE PLAYED IF SOMEONE AT MICROSOFT FUCKED UP
The infuriating thing about Minecraft is that using MultiMC I can, in fact, launch in offline mode... except that for some reason XBox Live being down made MultiMC forget my account, and to re-add it I had to reauth. Very cool.
The minecraft issue was about logging in, not playing offline it wouldve worked if you were logged in but it just wouldnt let you (if my internet is off completely but i logged in before that it wouldve worked)
minecraft was able to be played offline until... im assuming a recent launcher update or around when accounts were fully migrated. sucked ass when I couldnt play when my wifi died
@@kaijushaman0679 I have downloaded Minecraft Xbox 360 digitally so I can go back to the oldest update. The way this works is that if you buy the game digitally before it goes down, then you have it forever! Even if you uninstall it you will still be able to get it back!! So make sure to buy any games you want before July 29th(?) (I don't remember the actual date)
Try jailbraking an xbox 360 or a PS4. Modern consoles are getting frustratingly good at locking down their systems, but they are also new/unknown/supported. They're getting so good modders might have to resort to using custom signed console updates or extreme hardware modifications.
However, this outage was the wake up call for a LOT of people, and made them realize just how terrible always-online is. Yes it was only 7 hours now, but what if this gets more common in the future? What if the servers are discontinued, will I still be able to play my games then? This case is even worse, since minecraft has an offline singleplayer mode and yet you need online to boot it up from the launcher, so it was locked out in the launcher regardless.
Steps on playing on a console Step 1: pay 500$ for a Xbox/PlayStation Step 2:Pay 80$ a year to play online Step 3: Pay 70$ for nearly every game on the console Step 4:Run out of money because everything so expensive and unfinished. Bonus Step: pay a ridiculous amount of money to pay you’re Wi-Fi every month that isn’t even good
The launcher needs to authenticate through the xbox servers before it can launch your game, so you need online to boot up a game with an offline single player mode... Absolutely dumb choice. Worst thing is that if you bypass the launcher, the game boots up perfectly fine while offline, so this is all just microsoft bs.
@@daridon2483 The real stupid thing is that they can still do it client-side like steam does. Even if steam servers go down, if you're offline you can still play the games you own
@@beinggreenandunseen3171 Indeed, more money in their pockets.

I literally just booted up codcw for the campaign and they are forcing me to get xbox online
If I had a dollar for every time the xbox servers went down, I’d be rich.
The Series S was literally a brick. You couldn't play ANYTHING.
Thats just scary and dystopian
Good thing i wasn't doin shit during this and didn't deal with this
How the fuck does minecraft go down? WTF HAPPENED HERE THAT MADE IT SO MINECRAFT, FUCKING MINECRAFT COULDNT BE PLAYED IF SOMEONE AT MICROSOFT FUCKED UP
it doesn't, use prism launcher or multimc or even polymc
It may be talking about the bedrock version.
@@mcmadness110 it was both Java and bedrock that had the issue
It's called Microsoft bought it and everything went downhill from there
minecraft bedrock*
The music in the background is chemical plant zone act 1 from sonic mania (really hard to hear)
Microsoft has the Midas touch except with shit
Shitass touch
The infuriating thing about Minecraft is that using MultiMC I can, in fact, launch in offline mode... except that for some reason XBox Live being down made MultiMC forget my account, and to re-add it I had to reauth. Very cool.
I love when the servers for a company go down
0:09 minecraft bedrock singleplayer worlds are online, but bedrock players can still access singleplayer worlds offline
What about the Sony PlayStation network? Was it brought to a screeching halt like that one time in April 2011?
Guys we need to preserve
THATS WHY NOTHING WOULD WORK MY COUSIN WANTED TO PLAY EITH ME BEFORE. HE WENT ON VACATION
Bro sounds like Peter Griffin
😂😭
The minecraft issue was about logging in, not playing offline it wouldve worked if you were logged in but it just wouldnt let you (if my internet is off completely but i logged in before that it wouldve worked)
@NotYours-bp5fx Thanks ill use thi next time im logged out and offline
I didn't realize the Microsoft servers were down I don't use anything Microsoft
I remember when it happened yesterday, I just ignored it and played Assassin's Creed Origins all day.
minecraft was able to be played offline until... im assuming a recent launcher update or around when accounts were fully migrated. sucked ass when I couldnt play when my wifi died
NO THIS CANT BE NOT THE XBOX 360
(Edit I thaught the Xbox 360 servers were shut down)
The servers are going down on July 29, 2024 though
I have Banjo Kazooie and Tooie downloaded on my 360 and mine isn’t connected to the internet am I about to lose my only way to play those?
@@kaijushaman0679They'll probably keep the download servers up so you can still download the games you already own
@@kaijushaman0679those are on next gen im pretty sure
@@kaijushaman0679 I have downloaded Minecraft Xbox 360 digitally so I can go back to the oldest update. The way this works is that if you buy the game digitally before it goes down, then you have it forever! Even if you uninstall it you will still be able to get it back!! So make sure to buy any games you want before July 29th(?) (I don't remember the actual date)
I thought this was just me
1:52 as someone who just jailbroke there ps3 last night, it is Indeed decently difficult
@NotYours-bp5fxnow probably
@NotYours-bp5fx well it’s the hardest jailbreak I’ve done so my perspective is different
Try jailbraking an xbox 360 or a PS4. Modern consoles are getting frustratingly good at locking down their systems, but they are also new/unknown/supported. They're getting so good modders might have to resort to using custom signed console updates or extreme hardware modifications.
Preserve Your physical media folks.
now my xbox 360 is a brick this is so sad
It's no longer Xbox live, it's Xbox dead.
Microsoft is just being complicated, authentication is stupid
Michaelsoft Binbows.
I say we gamer organize a boycott of this
Wasn't just an Xbox live thing at least for me. I couldn't even sign into my profile
Same, and I couldn't even go on TH-cam of all things.
@@puzzledartist1232 Yeah. And all I wanted to do was watch a movie on Vudu after work
@@puzzledartist1232 And I couldn't eat my kebab and watch TH-cam :(
Made me realize how useless the xbsx is, I could play my games
As a PS5 player this news really shook me to my core. Thank you for keeping me informed.
Can you play ur games offline fresh out the box? I might switch back to playstation
@@Kareemisag Yep. Just don't get everything digital, or else you can't access them without internet.
The servers arent down forever and they dont go down all the time, it was for 7 hours and people started freaking out
However, this outage was the wake up call for a LOT of people, and made them realize just how terrible always-online is. Yes it was only 7 hours now, but what if this gets more common in the future? What if the servers are discontinued, will I still be able to play my games then?
This case is even worse, since minecraft has an offline singleplayer mode and yet you need online to boot it up from the launcher, so it was locked out in the launcher regardless.
Imagine spending a lot of money on the games u cannot even play, this motivates me to save up for a decent pc
@@Kareemisag it was 7 hours my point still stands if you spend that much on games you probably have thousands of hours, 7 hours is nothing
Oh so THATS why I couldn't log into minecraft
Imagine paying like 20 dollars a month for live and then you cant play shit cus everything is always online and the servers got fucked
Steps on playing on a console
Step 1: pay 500$ for a Xbox/PlayStation
Step 2:Pay 80$ a year to play online
Step 3: Pay 70$ for nearly every game on the console
Step 4:Run out of money because everything so expensive and unfinished.
Bonus Step: pay a ridiculous amount of money to pay you’re Wi-Fi every month that isn’t even good
O SHIT, but Minecraft going down makes no sense
The launcher needs to authenticate through the xbox servers before it can launch your game, so you need online to boot up a game with an offline single player mode...
Absolutely dumb choice. Worst thing is that if you bypass the launcher, the game boots up perfectly fine while offline, so this is all just microsoft bs.
@@daridon2483Turning off the wifi bypasses this check. You can play the game offline.
@@daridon2483 The real stupid thing is that they can still do it client-side like steam does. Even if steam servers go down, if you're offline you can still play the games you own
This is the multiplayer service you need to pay for, ladies and gentlemen
Why don’t companies invest in disks anymore?
If I had to guess, probably money.
@@beinggreenandunseen3171 Indeed, more money in their pockets. The digital storefront was advertised as a cost saving method for everyone, and that the savings of disk cost would be passed to the consumer. Fat shit that was since their real motive was to just license the shit we buy. We will own nothing and like it is what they're pushing towards.
Cuz discs are a shit storage medium now slower and stores less information when compared to other mediums
@@JacqueBibblequip I wouldn't have an issue with the shift away from disks if you actually owned the shit you buy
@@river559 If they want to do this, don't give them your money. Vote with your wallet and make it very clear to everyone why you are boycotting them.
This is why most multiplayer games should have a single player option, whether it's a story mode, an arcade shooter thing or something like that.
Buy a Xbox 360
Yesterday i was sitting there like "spatnz gonna make a video on this" lol
I didn't like my own comment.
Liar >:o
I hate people who like stupid npc comments like this so it ends up at the top on the comments section
@@Invixnlty Finally, someone who understands that the people who like the comments are just as at fault as the unfunny commentor!!
@@Invixnlty im sorry bro
N
To everyone that has the older console uhem.....THIS IS WHY THE OLDER ONES ARE BETTER DONE DEAL!!!!!
I was still able to play minecraft without internet so idk what he talking about 🤷🏼♂️
I couldn’t even play doom 2016.
Doesn’t matter the game, its unplayable if the servers are down
Always online is pretty much the entire problem of why bedrock edition of Minecraft has those random death bugs.
unlimited games, but no games...
You know it’s funny, me and my older brother were actually trying to play minecraft with our little cousins while we were on vacation (the weather was bad that day so we were pretty much stuck inside). Our thought process was basically exactly the same as yours. Thanks microsoft, very cool.
The PS3 PSN is our very last hope of the nostalgic 2000s consoles.
Remember pirates have the superior gaming experience now.
Why does bro sound like Peter Griffin???
i like how he went through the effort of finding the same stock minecraft parkour tower footage that everyone else uses put some free images up and put his voice over it then called it a day
Spatnz has finally reached the low of putting Minecraft parkour in the background
As someone who goes to work and has an actual life while owning an Xbox, I had no idea this happened.
