By the end of the year Microsoft will drop its Points currency system for Xbox Live Marketplace, according to reports. However redeemable codes at retailers will remain.
It’s a ”profit driven decision” to drop Microsoft Points for regional currency. The corporate giant has denied comment so far on the story. It will depend on the region for the switchover.
Microsoft already uses real-life currency for their Games on Demand service. Hopefully such fake money systems will in the future never plague a major platform again. Hope it’s true?
