   Heads up folks, #Microsoft announces that unauthorized accessories will no longer work on #Xbox consoles effective on November 12th. https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xboxs-new-policy-say-goodbye-to-unofficial-accessories-after-november

   Make no mistake this is anti-consumer and it will be a huge blow to many people, especially the disabled and the accessibility communities plus people who don't have the money to spend on official accessories such as controllers.

     @joeo10 this feels like something that would be ruled illegal in a functioning court.
