Windows Central記者Jez Corden爆料，Xbox平台長期缺少二次元風格遊戲，背後原因傳聞源於早期內部某位高管的個人偏好。
RUMOR | Xbox's missing 'Anime Games' may have been the result of a 'One-Man Power Trip' according to Jez Corden 「I've been speaking to a lot of figures, past and present, about why certain games have been banned on Xbox. There's a conspiracy theory among fans of a particular genre of games, notably anime-style dating simulations, because Microsoft has had this almost notorious app gap. PlayStation has these games, Nintendo has them, and Steam has them, but Xbox doesn't.」 「The community has had this conspiracy theory that Microsoft was blocking these games. I actually found out that this probably isn't as conspiratorial as some people might expect. Apparently, there was somebody at Xbox who hated anime-style games and had previously been declining them. This is something I've heard, so I took it with a pinch of salt because it's just industry rumour.」 「But I think times have changed. Leadership has changed hands, and some of those games that were previously blocked have now mysteriously started getting approved. So, yeah, times have definitely changed.」 「And I think you said it was a one-man power trip. It sounds like it was, yeah.」 https://twitter.com/IdleSloth84_/status/2108653224580546677
長期以來玩家注意到，PlayStation、任天堂與Steam平台上大量存在動漫風格戀愛模擬類作品，但Xbox商店卻長期空缺這類遊戲，不少玩家猜測是微軟官方在刻意封鎖。
Jez Corden多方採訪業內現任與前任人士後得知，傳聞稱當年Xbox內部有一名高管極度反感動漫風格遊戲，由其個人一票否決了大量上架申請。他同時強調該消息僅為行業傳聞，需要理性看待。
不過情況現已發生變化。Xbox管理層完成換屆，不少此前被卡住的二次元遊戲陸續通過審核登陸Xbox平台，傳聞中這場"一人獨斷"的局面或將就此終結。
