I remember we got shouted down when those of us called it the beginning of a slippery slope.
i only ever bothered because dark souls was locked to the system on pc at launchPaid online is a scam and in a just world wouldn't exist.
Thank goodness it never became the norm on PC. I remember Xbox Live for Windows.
Wow. What a deal! Cloud saves and friends lists? That's the best service of all time. No wonder they charge for it!
So we now had a thread of Xbox live numbers, a thread of Sony bragging numbers of ps+ and now a hate thread on Xbox live. Madness
Sony is obviously worse always
That's not a good argument at all IMO.
Where did I say that?
I am saying that
Well Microsoft did start paying for online service, Sony didn't have to follow but they did
I know, I mean....everything does not have to be taken that seriously, it's 1:33am. I am not looking for fulfilling conversation, about what corporation is worse. I mean fuck them, I just play the Cyberpunk. So fuck *cough*
Yeah. Indeed, we called it.
Corporations are scummy by nature, it's up to consumers to not encourage scummy practices. And XBLG was one of those things that people should not have allowed, period.
They recently announced they'll free up F2P too now. After being called out on a major price hike.
It took Sony more than 7 years of watching MS getting away with this before giving in to the temptation.Not exactly professional in the sense of it being a neutral article, right?
Of course he's right, but - SONY is in on this at least as much as Microsoft, so it's a bit unfair to nearly exclusively pin this issue on Microsoft in title and content of the video.
I'll tell you what: he won't double it... for now.
So we're judging companies now by what they did not do in the past but not by what they are doing now?
They are all doing it now.So we're judging companies now by what they did not do in the past but not by what they are doing now?
They had no exclusives like the legendary Halo games, on which people where crazy to play, what multiplayer game would they have cashed in on to begin with? Microsoft was simply the first company out there to blackmail the players with "It's either paying for Xbox Live or no Halo multiplayer for you and your friends, boy.", Sony had nothing back then!
Lol no, ps had a lot of multiplayers that people who actually had a PS3 really enjoyed _ Killzone 2 and 3 for me, Uncharted, TLOU, MAG, not to mention the third-party CODs of course.So we're judging companies now by what they did not do in the past but not by what they are doing now?

I agree, but PC online is a cheaters playground.Paid online is a scam and in a just world wouldn't exist.

Killzone might not exactly be the best example to put Sony together in a boxing ring with Microsoft; in fact it's so unpopular that there are no remasters and it never arrived on PC since there's no interest in this to begin with. It's like Sony even wants to forget about its failures.
Bout time
Every service needs to be paid for, you are absolutely correct, well done Sir.
If you rip out XBL or PSN, console peer-to-peer networks won't get better. All the disadvantages of peer-to-peer will still be there, just without a uniform backend. Because security and account authentication and license verification isn't important. I mean, some YouTuber told you they aren't, so how can they be, RIGHT? And all those little messaging and sharing hooks you love? That NEEDS to be free! A YouTuber told me that!
A lot of people I know fell off paying for XBL last gen and won't re-up now because they see it as being of a time now past. There's nothing wrong with not paying for it.
