| Mr Puggsly said: I figured you were gonna downplay it, what other defense could you possibly have? Well as MS said, online play isn't entirely free and there are financial burdens. I guess you won't be happy unless we can see some actual financial numbers. I also remember reading Sony charges publishers for bandwidth on downloads. Something MS covers by the way. EA IS THE ONLY 3RD PARTY THAT RUNS THEIR OWN SERVERS. Hence, you can't blame MS for those shutting down. Unless you want to blame MS for allowing EA to operate their own servers. |
I never blamed Microsoft for shutting anything down, and I'm not sure how you could come to the conclusion that I did through reading my post. I was simply pointing out that a game's online functionality is not guaranteed to always be accessible simply because it goes through Xbox Live, an idea that was implied by your earlier post.
