I do not understand how people are stu...... not so smart and pay for xbox live. Actually no I do understand slightly because most of these people are the "core" xbox fanb......supporters (mainly brits and americans) who most likely rarely was in the PC gaming scene when it exploded. Personally I was there for the very first counterstrike, then when bunny hop was discovered in 1.2, during unreal tournament, quake, etc Furthermore in the PC scene most online games tend to have dedicated servers unless you chose not to (i dont know who would be stupid to do so though unless you LAN). PS plus is a well implemented idea with all the free and discounted content you get in a month it pretty much makes 2 years of paying worth it. Plenty of people do not realize the huge value in PSN plus. |
I was there since the first counter strike too. I've played HL/CS MOD close to its release - was about 7 at the time. So yeah, that doesn't make you as awesome as you think. £30 a year is fucking nothing, the fact that you think people are "stupid" just because they pay like what, 10p a day is ridiculous. It's chump's change, it would be nice to save the money, and in the long run it would probably make a difference - 10 years or so. But I'd much rather pay for a service that I prefer more compared to the shovel that was PSN until few years ago. It may be better now, but there is still an essential feature missing for me. I work part time and study, really, even for me £30 a year is nothing.
I can't wait to see how your view on paying for online capabilities will change next gen, when your beloved Sony starts charging.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
