Ok let me dumb this down for you, matchmaking was used in MW2 because there was no dedicated servers. The lack of dedicated servers is one problem, the bigger issue is taking control of hosting abilities out of the hands of the gamer, that's matchmaking. I look all the time at stuff on Steam, shame all thats ever available is overpriced. Perhaps you should try moving to the UK, you might understand what a pile of turd the pricing is then. |
Think longer term. With Steam all the games are tied to your account regardless of hardware and will always be accessible. With Live, you'll lose those games when you hit that limit, in particular on later hardware iterations... unless of course you call MS.
Also, what do you mean by taking the hosting abilities out of the players hands? Whilst the matchmaking system exists you can still host your own Left 4 Dead servers, browse and connect to your faves as far as I'm aware.
And yeah, it's the UK where developers, publishers and console manufacturers crap on us from a great height when it comes to pricing.
