My Xbox One Friends List Is Down, And They’re A Little Rude About It Too

IM PLAYIN discusses the lack of an Xbox One friends list, and how the leaderboard message is a little rude to the friendless.

"No need to twist the knife there, Microsoft. After all, it's your fault that I don't have any friends. It's kind of a mean thing to say, but I know that I do usually have friends and once the section is sorted, all will be back to normal. It does make me feel for the people that don't have any online friends, or friends with an Xbox One, however. What if that's the message you see every time you log in to your Xbox One and casually scroll past the 'Leaderboard' section. I assume that's what it says when you don't have anyone in your friends list. It has got to be quite disheartening. I feel for those guys and gals, the Xbox Live friendless"

I love it when companies have a sense of humor.

[ThePope]

Only Sony can have a sense of humor. When MS does it, it gets an article on N4G. And 2000 comments on how mean they are to people.

[troylazlow]

Funny is funny, lets just agree to that. we don't need to bash a Sony or MS for something as simple as a Google Doodle.

[DivineJustiniaV]

Don't you know?? MS is the devil, duh.

[Grap]

MS is Satan.

@ thepope

Cry moar!

Turnabout is fair play.

I didn't see you crying about the animosity directed at the PS3 last gen

[XisThatKid]

And don't you forget it. JK, Not really. but seriously It'ds all what I said before if you have a friend that is an F'up than you have less affinity of their antics than someone that is in good graces this is basic knowledge if your comment is true. NO need to be defensive for MS they did this to themselves. In time it'll pass and their public image will exceed the fails they've made within recent years as happened with Sony and Ninty, cheer up bucko.

Edit:
OOOOOOO Rockstar, THANK YOU!

[TheJacksonRGN]

Doesn't come across as joke to me, nor does it come across as mean. It is just a statement that was made with no consideration for how it will be perceived.

I could be wrong but that is how I see it.

[XisThatKid]

I actually agree with you though.

[Gameplay999]

Awwwwww cry me a river....

Strange how many articles we get about xbox one's home screen not showing friends for 20 minutes yesterday. (still worked if you snap or go into the app)

OT: since when is UI text suddenly a key issue? It's not rude it is just jokingly prodding you to
A. Form a community of gamers in which you reside (as that is one way how fanbase grows for a console and increase game sales)
B. Create a sense of competition to inhibit people to play games.

it obviously isn't MS saying "you suck and you have no friends," as this article would suggest.

[Death]

It didn't always work when snapped or in the app. It took me awhile for Destiny to realize I had friends playing last night and allow me to invite them to my fireteam. I couldn't manually invite them to the game or party and had to do so through the game which didn't always recognize my friends were there.

Anyone know if this has been fixed yet?

[Alicornium]

...okay then. -.-

[Artista]

While your XO friends list temporarily down, the entire PSN is down.

Pick your poison.

[DeadlyOreo]

I'll take PSN thanks.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

Multiplayer still works though so it's not entirely down.

[porkChop]

I'm online on PSN just fine.

[Funantic1]

Lol. Funny. PSN goes down twice a month on average.

[SilentNegotiator]

"the entire PSN is down"

Ummmm, no. No, it wasn't. I'm sick of you trolls acting like every time PSN experiences some problems, it's completely down everywhere all day long.

[DafunkyRebel]

what a phucktard

[nunley33]

PSN isn't down, it's in maintenance. during it the store and account management is unavailable but multi and apps is still there and been on both today.

[Spotie]

That's not trolling at all.

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

Is this seriously worthy to even be an article? LOL

[LAWSON72]

To be fair it has been down for a while, I have been without my friends list for 24+ hrs

[2cents]

“You will not always be the Top performer. Once you get some friends you will be able to see how you stack up against them”.

lol... props to the person who came up with that sentence, he got some big cojones! haha I'm still laughing... get some friends... priceless.

[Toiletsteak]

Lol that is just funny, no need to cry about it.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

I don't own an Xbox but this is really funny lol.

[StormLegend]

Well this sucks!!

[jcole97]

Anyone know when the update is coming?

[Subaruwrx]

I like single player games - don't need and don't want online friends.

[LAWSON72]

Who needs a social life... those are for losers.

[SilentNegotiator]

Because if he doesn't have friends online, he has no social life. /s

Maybe when he sits down to play a game, he wants to experience the game and not be sidetracked by other interactions, hmm?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I am sorry...this is a complaint? How is this rude by the way? Leaderboards require friends...you have none... when you get some you will see them here and see how you stack up. Nothing wrong with that.

Don't be so sensitive and make some friends already!

[Alsybub]

It's because Microsoft are always laughing at the people that buy their products. They're not like Sony. Sony are for gamers where as Microshaft are only in it for the money and they try to take advantage of their customers. We need to stand up for ourselves, against this evil organisation. Of course all of the Xdrones will say that this is just funny or that it just means what it says but real gamers know that it's a huge insult.

At least that's the sentiment that I wouldn't be surprised to see on here. In reality, I can't believe that this is news or that it even got approved. ;)

[Foehammer]

Pay attention to the above post parents...

this is what happens when you let your child watch too much tv at a young age.

[Alsybub]

@Foehammer

I don't know whether you got that my comment was tongue in cheek or not.

Either way yours was entertaining. I'll give you a bubble for that. ;)

[Foehammer]

thx

[aerisbueller]

Slow news day.
I think they mean XBL friends, and it even says 'once you get some friends,', meaning it's assumed you will. It would have been bad if it said 'if you even get some friends,'

[Ryan741]

Is the PS plus Drive club out yet?
