tl;dr = vote for this.
I recently 'upgraded' to the new Xbox One UI via the Preview Program and was confused to find out that gesture navigation didn't work. I posted about this here. However, I just assumed it was in the works and that it would come in a later update. Weeks went by and it never did. I reported it in the official Preview Member forums, and I notified Mike Ybarra too, asking when gestures would be put back in (since some people in my family rely on them entirely to navigate the console). Mr. Ybarra never responded. Neither did anyone on the Preview Forums.
And then the press reported the reason why: Microsoft is killing that feature. I'm livid. I don't think companies should be allowed to sell you a product and then take away part of that product later on. There is already a UserVoice thread to reverse the madness. Regardless if you use gestures or not, please vote for this UserVoice. and let @XboxP3 (Phil Spencer) and @XboxQwik (Mike Ybarra) know that it's not okay to change the rules of the game after we've bought the tickets.
