,will be looking forward for alternative if there's any Well she did say temporarily so I hope it comes back up as an option
Was considering it as a way to reload my Microsoft balance but last I recalled it was US only so couldn't take advantage of it.

This is exactly what i'm thinking, they didn't say they won't return it as an option. I keep remembering that interview of Bill Gates when he was
asked about bitcoin; and the way he tried to avoid the question of backing it up himself personally. I think there's more to it both from him and microsoft.

Does anybody know what's the reasoning begging this decision? Is it economic decision, eg, they didn't have enough interest by the people so they just ditched it or is it a more political decision where they just make sure not to promote us as their payment option so people would forget about us.
Or is it to early to know all this?
It was probably a beta test to see that if MS gamers will choose bitcoin or not. Most of bitcoiners are not game players so their btc income was pretty low I assume. Or is it to early to know all this?
Imagine they sell Windows license keys just for 10$ (when they did to upgrade to
and accept bitcoins. I believe some somalian pirate will buy one too.

I didn't remember I see these news. Microsoft is not used a lot in my country. Probably all Windows OS'es are pirated here. They also can't sell any consoles here.
Microsoft never accept Bitcoin, what are you talking about?
Unexpected from a Hero Member. You might have been under the rock for some time. Or is it a sold account used for sig campaigns ?

Well someone had complaint about how legal is that option about bitcoin soo they must be looking deeply how those can affect them,one thing is knowed that bitcoin needs to achieve new users and using microsoft as big company would be great since they has a huge market under their control.
ups, that is bad news as for mainstream adoption. Let's hope is precisely that, that they are doing adjustments to accept it in all regions.
I, personally believe, it has something to do with BitPay. They're probably somewhat disappointed with BitPay for some reason. Alternatively, they might be checking their legal standing regarding the various bitcoin licenses popping up across the states.

Really bad to know they've taken it off for now... Hope it comes back soon, and for all regions!
Who cares really...
Some idiots like you might not care. But those who are doing the ground job of taking bitcoin mainstream, do care....
That was quite a success. How many people do you figure bought bitcoins because Microsoft started accepting it? One, two...three thousand?
Dont forget the media effect that started when Microsoft started to accept bitcoin. It might not make any difference to drug addicts. But, for wage slaves in mainstream world, brand Microsoft brings in a notion of safety.
Who cares really...
Xbox monthly tax payer ... don't miss that hotmail/outlook/microsoft account is a wallet for Xbox games.
