>Xbox has announced a new Xbox Backward Compatibility for PC program, which will let gamers play a selection of classic Xbox titles on PCs and handhelds, a move the company says marks the beginning of a bigger push into Xbox game preservation. The announcement begins with four titles that can now be played on PCs and handhelds, including the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X. "This marks the beginning of a broader effort to preserve XBOX games from the past and bring them to PC over time," the company said in a blog post authored by Xbox "VP next generation" Jason Ronald. Alongside backward compatibility, the company says games will also include new features.

I'll bet they would make a killing if they released a steam "game" that just allowed people to play any Xbox game ever on it using their PC, blu-ray drive and existing games. They could also do reruns of games like a kickstarter (say they will republish the game disc with box and manual if X number of people pre-buy it). Have a system like GoG where the community can vote for which games they want to see re-released and when it gets enough votes, let the people talk with their money. No risk for Xbox and no waste.
