The first iPhone got 3 years of software support, first generation products always get screwed.

These headsets are not e-waste, they just aren’t receiving new software updates… They still work? Please don’t throw out your headset because you’re mad you never received software you weren’t promised

It still works, and it will still have access to the store for buying games. It will still be repaired under warranty if you have one, and I’m sure they’ll repair them out of warranty if you pay.
They’re just not adding new stuff to it. Did you buy the headset expecting new features or did you buy it for what it could already do? What features are missing that could even be added via software at this point?
Your headset will continue to work exactly as it does. If you expect long software support for anything, I would strongly advise not buying any first generation products. The first iPhone only got 3 years of software support too, yet people still used them well past that point.

Sounds like the campus wet t-shirt contest got pretty wild this year

If you’re not into the marathon a cable channel is showing, you can always go to On Demand, or stream your preferred shows through Hulu / Netflix / HBO / whatever.
They’ve basically given up all pretense that their cable streams are relevant at all.
