Xbox is cleaning house for next-gen, and Social Clubs were just in the way: Is it moving further away from its social roots?

Just after Xbox canned its Social Clubs last month, I'm left wondering — as TweakTown pointed out — whether Xbox is going through and gutting features that were never really used. I’ll be the first to admit I never really used Social Clubs, but seeing them go is still a bit sad, even if it made sense and they were just "in the way" at times.

With that said, when I think back to what got me hooked on Xbox, it was Halo: Combat Evolved, then Halo 2, and finally Halo 3 on Xbox 360. Those weren’t just games; they were social experiences.
