Xbox Chief Phil Spencer reminded gamers that Xbox doesn’t solely control which games come to backward compatibility.

Gamers have been crying out for Call of Duty: Black Ops II to come to the Xbox One’s backward compatibility program, their requests seemingly falling on deaf ears. Nearly 200,000 votes have been cast on Microsoft’s website to bring the title to the program, but to no avail. However, when “XboxIsBestBox” and numerous other social media users tweeted at Spencer, it must’ve broken the Xbox Chief’s heart a little bit. He responded by unloading some truth regarding backward compatibility.

@XboxIsBestBox We confirm third party games in BC with the 3Ps approval, so I can't but know that we care about the voted on list.

@BlackOpsXboxOne Oh I see them, I see them daily on twitter. Team knows that a lot of people are passionate about these 2 in BC.

@bringbo2back_ @BlackOpsXboxOne Please don't take my lack of response on BO2 as a lack of caring, I really want to see this come to BC.

So, it looks like fans of the series should turn their attention towards Activision in this case.
