Sorry this post just seems a bit disingenuous...
This feels like saying N64 didn't do the analog stick first because of Atari or arcade versions from before...but we know when someone says "they did analog first" they mean analog thumb stick design in a handle and the rest is getting into semantics.
Likewise it's MS that blessed us with a fee to play multiplayer games you already purchased on a console. Whatever obscure online service or function you are thinking of, it's not what we mean when we say "paid online", it's that. Xbox used their 15 minutes of fame with software like Halo to normalize paid online, if there's any silver lining maybe Sony and Nintendo will be more rewarded than them for it.
Forced MTX is kind of a throwaway line, but uh yeah again DRM. Depends on the context. There is online DRM for ereaders...whatever...we're talking about video games. You can't un-see the 2013 E3 where Xbox was lambasted for all their draconian DRM decisions whereupon Sony trolled them with "how to share your game on PS4". It was so bad that MS had to walk back many decisions (only to slowly move back in the direction of their dream world step by careful step in the years since). Again Xbox is a trailblazer not for making great games but making the status quo worse.
My death is inevitable so we may as well get it over with.
It's apparent he is blaming MS for making a choice bad for gaming not for being the first ever to make that choice. They do have a habit of buying up assets, firing everyone and keeping the IPs. Has Sony done it before -yes. With MS it's a cancer that spreads every other Wednesday.
