Wow, I wish free services like what the PS3 and Wii have had nearly the same level of demos that XBox does. Because people pay for online play, everything from Game Room to Indie games, gets demos. Demos on the Playstation 3? Well, mostly the major disk based released. Playstation store distributed exclusives don't get any. As far as the Wii goes, that is NONE available online.
Now, back to the original premise. Somehow, this premise is that large numbers of gamers will magically organize themselves and decide not to pay for Live, thus Microsoft would be forced to discontinue charging for online play... well, based on my first-hand experience, that wish is one that won't happen, no matter how much people wish it be so. No guarantee Microsoft would end up dropping the fee if membership went down. Shoot, they might even decide to INCREASE prices. So, you then get lots of people without XBox Live, and playing online.
Want to get organized for something? How about getting organized for something more important, like helping people find work, or helping the poor? Or, something even more simple, which is gaming related: Ignore Pachter to the place where VGChartz will stop dedicating articles to his predictions? I am yet again graced with a Pachter article once more when I pop on here, this time declaring the PSP2 dead before it is even released.
