Is anyone complaining about MS making money? I see people who thinks it is unreasonable that Xbox Live is a paid service, when Steam is free and has more features than Xbox Live. Not the same thing. |
To be honest I would still say Xbox Live is the better service having used both Steam and Xbox Live. So if Steam became as easy to use and streamlined as Live then sure I would feel that the former takes away from the need to pay for the latter. However I hate playing online though so I would never pay for Live unless they gave New Zealand some decent Live features like the U.S.A.
Anyway besides that there are people who complain that: Microsoft makes money on Live, Nintendo sells consoles for large profit margins, Apple sells products with large profit margins, Intel sells products with large profit margins etc. They aren't monopolies so there really is no cause to complain about the fact that Microsoft is capable of charging when there are at least 3 major competing services. The fact they can charge and the others can't/won't is proof enough that Live is the best service out there overall.
Tease.
