Is there a way to ask Microsoft to unlock multiplayer-only achievements for older games?

Hello, I have a question regarding multiplayer achievements on older games, such as DOOM (2016) or Tomb Raider. Since these multiplayers are rarely ever populated, and trust me, I’ve sat searching for a lobby for at least an hour already, is there a way to ask Microsoft to politely unlock these achievements for you?

Being able to 100% games is what drives me to play certain games, and I was just wondering if there’s any way to 100% certain games that could not be completed any other way, because of the lack of players.

would be up to the game devs to patch the games to allow it, but it has been this way since cheevos started when the 360 launched.

I agree with you as it's up to the devs to deal with it.

Burnout Paradise for the Xbox 360/PS3 had it's servers closed in August 2019 after a good run and a sizeable amount of it's achievements were for the online side of the game.

You could see the point of the devs closing down the online side of the game as that was about the time the remastered version of the game was released.

As far as I'm concerned, that is not possible; however, try to share your thoughts by visiting feedback.xbox.com, to make your voice heard as the forums are more of a space for technical assistance!

Xbox Live is a service provided by Microsoft.

It would be unfair for achievements to just unlock because the multiplayer is dead. You have to earn them.

Unfortunately this seems to be a case of just older and bad achievement design. Several older 360 games had achievements that were close to impossible to obtain, and this one seems like another. For example, Quake 4 had an achievement to be #1 player in
the world on multiplayer, which is impossible to get because there's no multiplayer community for it on Xbox anymore.

For Fable 2's chicken suit, I regret to tell you that this is probably not going to be something you can unlock anymore due to the age of the game and discontinuation of the website (which is 9+ years old). Regrettably, there's no way to change this it seems.
Apologies for the bad news.
