Sounds like there's still a very reasonable amount of support even after this. I expected the FAQ to tell me that I wouldn't be able to play games online or get updates or achievements after July, but it's really just buying new games that's stopping. I have zero idea how many people are still playing Xbox 360, but I bet it's more than I'm thinking.
Nintendo shut down their eShop a few years ago on the Wii; however, any purchases you made can still be re-downloaded. Same for the 3DS and Wii U with their recent shutdowns.
For real. Enabling soft-modding should be mandated by law, my Wii is still fun today thanks to the Homebrew channel and I expect my Switch will be too in 10 years too thanks to custom firmware. My softmodded 3DS is still going strong too (not that there's much content on it in the first place).
Without dedicated third-party support, these devices would pretty much be junk.
I was going to set mine back up for some good ol' Rock Band. Losing access to all the DLC songs would have sucked so much, so glad that's not happening
