Xbox disappoints me, for once

Usually, I am very impressed with the friendliness and usability of the Xbox division of Microsoft. Given the history of delighting me, I almost let this one slide:

they want me to re-subscribe to a feed

Now, I’d be a total hypocrite if I said that everyone should know how to manage their feeds, since I just recently messed mine up. But the re-run feeds didn’t stop working, they started including more content than before (re-run and re-record were combined), so the worst-case scenario is that someone deletes a feed they don’t need anymore.

These people, on the other hand, need me to re-subscribe to their feed, because they know it won’t work in the future. It must be some terribly complicated change if they can’t simply redirect the old feed to the new one.

I mean, I can redirect feeds, and I have absolutely no budget to speak of. What is going on over there?
