MSFT's current strategy (the original one was so much better, even with the "check-ins") has me a bit underwhelmed / annoyed. Why?

Really, MSFT
So, recently i have been thinking about the Xbox One and how MSFT handles some things. They have definitely done some things right (like BC, now if they could do the same for the original Xbox). Let's just say i'm not a huge fan of what the Xbox ecosystem looks like going forward.

Best Xbox One Games
Well, my list of some of the games i thought were the worst is now up. How about the current games i think are the best (well, based off of what i "own" and played)? Note: my opinions do not reflect the views of anyone else, maybe even humanity in general.
Worst Xbox One Games
i saw a thread on NeoGaf (or SonyGaf) as it might as well be called. Games with Gold has given me a wealth of titles that i would not have purchased/played. There were some decent sales this year too. So, what are the worst games, in my opinion that i have played on the system?

2016 E3 Wishlist - MSFT
Well, another E3 season is upon us (technically June 13th). Every year people think that there will be something interesting, shiny and new.
However, shiny and new are not what i want. i want old with a new coat of paint. So here is my wishlist (most are completely unrealistic, this is what i want not what i expect)...

Xbox One: 360 Backwards Compatibility, i'm now over 50 games
I like the concept of having backwards compatibility (i'd seriously consider a PS4 at the right price if they had PS One Classics - not PS Now, I hate subscription services). However, I haven't really used it. I don't know if i'm a fan of the new release non-schedule (i'd rather have 10+ games announced for the same day every month, like January 17th or something).
The only game I have actually played on backwards compatibility (BC) is Kameo (Rare Replay).
So if I am not actively playing the games (52 + 5 games that were on Rare Replay and 2 retail game - the Fables), what am I using backwards compatibility for? Basically, I am using backwards compatibility to free up disc space on my Xbox 360. I have something like 300-400 GBs of games that won't fit on my hard drive. I know I should probably buy an external USB hard drive for the slack, but am trying to put that off as long as possible.
I still have about 900 GB left on my Xbox One (including the base and a 2 TB external hard drive).
Needless to say, my Xbox One game list is kind of a mess (I wish they would let you filter out BC titles).

Video Games Vanquished in 2016 (Secondary Account)
This is the list of games I have beaten using my secondary gamertag (formerly known as the original Xbox 360 tag).
Video Games Vanquished in 2016 (Primary Account)
2016 is here (unfortunately?). The number at the end of the date has changed, not much else has. Maybe this will be the year my backlog shrinks (not likely, though there aren't many games I want this year). These are the games that I have beaten (usually that just means seeing the end credits for me) in 2016. This is my primary account.
Most games will be on the easiest setting (because challenge = frustration and frustration does not equal fun).
