Bungie isn't first party.  Plus, Bungie stated that they would have had to drop several of Halo 3's features if they were to have used dedicated servers.

 

They were until like six months ago, so MS would've been the one to foot the bill at the time.

Also, this still doesn't explain what the hell you're paying $50 a year for.  All those awesome XBL-only features that Silver users get for free? 

You're only paying for online play.  P2P online play, that uses nothing more than your own internet connection, which you already paid for, and your own 360 to host matches, which you also already paid for.

Actually, they left at the beginning of Oct. last year.  More than enough time to know who was paying for what.

Like I said, some want to eat the cost, some find ways to offset it.  If millions are willing to pay, why the hell not charge for it?

 

I didn't ask why they are charging $50 a year.  I asked why are you willing to pay $50 a year.  Why is it worth it?  You even admitted with the bolded that they are ONLY charging because they know some people will pay.

If nobody was willing to pay, you'd be getting a free service.
