I am surprised that fucking Party required gold. I wasn't aware of that.
At one point YouTube and Netflix required gold.
The power of competition. Once Sony started gaining ground, ms had no choice but to bridge the competitive gap. Without alternatives, any company is happy to exploit their customers.
Did you just lose complete composure and take offence at an opinion? Time to cut down on the soy oestrogen diet don't you think?
That's too much, if your grasp on your hobby is that fickle, then you've got issues.
You use the service as you see fit, if it's "too much" for you then that's a self control issue.
When PS fans will talk about Sony charging money for cloud storage? Cloud storage is free on Xbox and Steam but Sony and Nintendo charges for cloud storage but most of you ignore it or downplay it or come with some dumb reason to defend it like its not important nd all. Cloud is very important today, 100s of hours of gameplay i would have lost in Witcher 3 if not for free cloud saves on Xbox.
Use a ubs, its not that hard, i know getting things inside a title hole are alien to you, but its not that hard believe me
I know man, some sad people using this thread to bring up that Xbox used to need a sub to watch Netflix. Well guess what? They don't now. What's your point?
I got news for you, with GamePass classic, you weren't able to play multiplayer. You have to have GP Ultimate.
A Sony studios single player TES-like or Fallout-like would be wonderful. I hope they are already working on one behind the scenes.
Posts 7, 8 and 9 are Sony fans who came to shit post, and brought up Sony first. In an Xbox thread. As is tradition.If you cannot see how making people pay to access YouTube or the web with the built in browser is different from offering your own cloud storage well... not sure what to say, beside "good for having the what about Sony card always ready" in a thread talking about Xbox LIVE paywalls going down.
These days and age having a small free storage tier like 1-5 GB per account would be nice to have sure. That is undeniable: it becomes super important if you could not backup your saves manually.
What they give with PS+ is a lot more than that though: 100 GB for PS5 and 100 GB for PS4 games. That is cheaper but not cheap if you have your own data centres, but I am not seeing companies throwing that much per user cloud storage for free around.
Thread about the cloud storage issue:
Sony should make Cloud saves on PS4/5 free and not part of PSN Plus
I like you started attacking me instead of criticising bad policy. Attacking me wont get you anything but asking for change will help everyone including you. I already said I think if cloud saves were the only way to backup your saves that it would be a shitty greedy policy and I said the idea...www.neogaf.com
Isn't it mostly used with multiplayer games, anyway?
I feel like the sweet spot would be enabling online mp and matchmaking for free, but all the games in Gamepass require a gamepass subscription. I mean with 500+ games on Gamepass(I think like 380 on console? Rest on PC) You could definitely justify it, specially if all the new stuff goes there first
Shmunter
alt-right fascist if anything that does not sound as pure praise is labelled swiftly like that and piled on...
Xbox did lot of wrong but after community pressure, they finally changing which is good. Now im hoping some anti consumer policies on PS side needs to be removed like paid cloud storage.
What does fantasising over a Sony 1st party Bathesda clone and clapping Sony on the back for PS Plus have to do with Xbox making F2P games and party chat free?W
Can you take post #9 https://www.neogaf.com/threads/xbox...ires-an-xbox-live-gold.1597832/post-262856354 and show how it is a biased shit post?
I get some comments can and do indeed bring stress and can be classified as partisan shitpost, but you may call
Bringing up Sony != excuse to drag the dialogue down further.
See as usual, PS brigade coming to Sony defense and suggesting dumb ideas How about you stop being a corporate shill and think about this for a second?. Free cloud save will benefit everyone just not me. Steam, EA and EGS all rent data servers like Sony but they don't charge but Sony does. So there is no defending paid cloud storage.
Are we there now we shit on xbox without even reading the title anymore?
Great. All of it, including cloud saves, is free with Xbox moving forward. Or are we supposed to constantly shit on Xbox forever because it wasn't free in the past?
Why jump on the defend wagon instead of ignoring this nonsense.
Nope making retail customers second class citizens is bullshit and incentives to make pay to win games is the wrong direction. Retail games should of went free if anything and keeping a paywall around pay to win games.
I take it as "competition is good and here is why I think it is affecting this", but maybe in a bit of a wordier way. So, not too off-topic I think though, but I understand the other side of the fence (your point in this case).
Sorry for the continuing the thread derail...
