Earlier, only a few apps like IGN and MLG.TV were limited in their working but now, Xbox Live itself has been affected.
Though Christmas is nearly over on this side of the ocean, it is pretty damn frustrating when you’re trying to complete the Thorn bounty in Destiny and suddenly find yourself – along with your opponents – disconnected.
