Xbox should give 2020 xCloud Beta Testers a permanent profile badge. Our original rewards are completely gone.
I was cleaning my inbox today and found the original email welcoming me as a Founding Member of the Project xCloud Preview back in 2020 here in Brazil. It brought back great memories of helping test the servers, dealing with high latency, and sending feedback when cloud gaming was just an experiment.
However, it made me realize that all the cool digital rewards we got back then (like the floating cloud Xbox Avatar item) are completely gone because those legacy systems were discontinued, and the email links have expired.
With the new leadership at Xbox focusing so much on community and player appreciation, wouldn't it be awesome if Xbox brought back some recognition for the pioneers? A simple, permanent "xCloud Legacy/Founder" profile badge (like the tenure badges we have for Xbox Live years) would be a great way to preserve this history.
Did anyone else here participate in the 2020 preview? What are your memories from those early cloud days?
