I'm surprised that people don't think Microsoft is greedy enough to do it and seem to conveniently forgot the companies long history of anti consumer activities.
Yeah pretty much. I wish they weren't, 'cause they do some really great work... I've long felt that MS was a combination of great engineers and blinkered, dickish execs who hamstring them.
And yeah, sadly, I think if they end up being really heavy handed about the used games thing... sadly... I think the core might revolt a bit, lots of message board gnashing and wailing, but of course not the CoD crowd 'cause they are online anyways... and the rest will just suck it up. I don't really like that one bit but I have no trouble seeing the possibility. I don't even think MS would take that big of a PR hit. Seems unthinkable to us but it's not really about us.
There are much, much easier and less work-intensive ways to generate hits. A plethora of Top 10 lists, for example. I do think EDGE has a reputation to protect, they very rarely tread into crazy rumour territory historically speaking.ii Stryker said:real news is relatively slow and they live off ad revenue so need to get those clicks on their website up. Aannd voile'a, look at those hits a comin.
your naive' if you think otherwise.
