Snoop Dogg issued his own statement on Xbox Live’s limited functionality on Instagram:
A message to Xbox One or Microsoft or whoever the fuck: Y’all fuckin’ servers fuckin’ wack, man, y’all gonna make me switch to PlayStation if y’all don’t ever get this shit fixed. It’s that difficult to play somebody online. What the fuck is you doing, Bill Gates? Fix your shit, man.
Bill Gates has not yet responded through official channels.
Update: According to the Xbox Live service status page, Xbox Live core services are back up. A tweet from the official Xbox Support Twitter account says today’s issues have been resolved and that users should power cycle their Xbox console before trying to connect again.
