You know, honestly, all this shit even lends some tiny amount of credence to what the crazy conspiracy theorists were saying about how the Kinect was going to be used to spy on you and such, back when the Kinect was still a thing. At the time, even though I certainly hated the X-bone (and the Kinect) for other reasons, that whole bit about the Kinect being used for spying just seemed like too much ridiculous tinfoil hattery for me. But now, given all the other bullshit Micro$hit has been doing lately to try to spy on people, either via this shit with VS or the Windows 10 shit or whatever, it honestly wouldn't surprise me to learn that the Kinect thing was indeed actually a real, valid concern, and that the tinfoil hats were actually right about something for once.

The only difference is that people were saying that it would be the NSA spying on you via Micro$hit via the Kinect. If there was any truth to it at all, then it would more likely just be that it was Micro$hit itself spying on you via the Kinect, for its own purposes, rather than the government. Then again, the reason Micro$hit is pulling all of this bullshit with Windows 10 and Visual Studio and such could also very well be due to covert government shit. Hell if I know. *shrug*

In any case, it seems like pretty much anything related to Micro$hit is just a bunch of dodgy bullshit nowadays. Hell, for all I know, they may have some kind of spycraft embedded in Minecraft now that nobody knows about, given that they own it now and all. ¬_¬
