Some gamers are outraged at this and some have started petitions to try to get Microsoft to make the Xbox One backwards compatiable like this one on Change.org. 738 supporters are already supporting this initiative.

Microsoft has not commented yet on this petition. I'll keep you guys posted.

Next time, you should be careful if you 'borrow' someone's charger. You could have your iOS device hacked.
