Microsoft is considering compensating Xbox Live users for the recent downtime.

Xbox Live has been buckling a lot recently, demonstrating frequent outages and downtime we’re not typically used to experiencing with the service. 

As a Reddit thread requesting compensation gathers pace, Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb replied to commenters on the site (thanks GamingBolt), stating: “I’ve taken some of the more thoughtful comments and shared them with a few folks on the Xbox team to make them aware of this request.

“That’s about all I’ve got right now–but when I am back in the office I am going to stop by and chat 1:1 with some folks about this as well.”

Issues with the Titanfall launch way back in 2014 saw affected users refunded a week’s worth of their Gold subscription, but Microsoft hasn’t had to compensate users to the extent Sony has had to the past.

What would you think would be fair compensation for the recent outages? Tell me below…
