I'm not certain I see your logic. You are suggesting that if Live goes free, that less games will be compatible with it? Despite the fact that one of the big selling points for 360 titles is such play? Am I reading you correctly? |
look at how many ps3 games have online multiplayer.... and look how many playstation network games have multiplayer.... they pale in comparison to games that have online multiplayer for 360 games and xbox live.... if xbox live was free, then a lot of games that have multiplayer on xbla could cease to exist... we know the big games (Gears, Halo , forza ect) will always have multiplayer, but if xbla was free a lot of the older games would no longer have multiplayer.... now Quake 4 or Prey might not mean much to some people but they do to me and i enjoy playing them online... and on xbla i love Ikaruga, streets of rage 2 and Doom multiplayer.... also remember that SEGA never bothered to give the ps3 versions of Virtua tennis 3 or Virtua fighter 5 any multiplayer on ps3.... VT 3 and VF 5 have multiplayer on 360.... if xbla was free games like that could go by the wayside and no longer have multiplayer..... hence myself and many millions more will continue to pay for xbox live to keep those games multiplayer for many years to come.... i currently own 24 xbox 360 games and of those 24 games 22 of them have online multiplayer... i own 13 xbla games and 12 of them offer online multiplayer.... would i like to see these games lose their multiplayer capabilities sometime down the road.... HELL NO....
