Why are people defending XBL and MS? XBL users are getting shafted. It's just a modeled after GameSpy and the various other PC Gamer networks out there. There was also the issue that MS was pretty darn insistent that during the XBox that if you did multiplayer you were required to use Live. It wasn't an incentive it was pretty much a requirement to get the licenses. Then there was the model that MS was going to give companies a share of the subscription based on how much people played certain games.
If this is case. Then MS has pulled out of the money sharing. Is being really heavy handed in it's treatment of companies is just wrong. sigh. MS is just determined to screw PC gamers over.
Regardless of what people think of Bobby and his complaints of late. MS XBL is a ripoff. It should only charge for extras in the service.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
