| richardhutnik said: I was saying that Microsoft, in particularly, doesn't offer a way for people to find and meet people who they share similar interests in, outside of a game. Sony offered Home, but Microsoft offers nothing. Why does this matter? Well, take stuff like older XBLA stuff with leaderboards, or coop multiplayer, and it is such that, while some people do play them, they are not online when you are. Of course, someone is going to go, "Why not just play the popular stuff?" To this, I would answer, "So you are telling me my only option is to play a FPS like Call of Duty?: It is a problem. If you play a more obscure game, you don't find people for it, if they aren't on when you are. Microsoft does NOTHING to remedy this at all. They just want to make a buck off your network of contacts and do jack to have people expand this list. |
You bring up a really great point but I feel like you're bashing Microsoft a little hard and are unlikely to garner positive feedback from people easily as they'll automatically take a defensive position. :P
If Nintendo really allows us to find and connect with like-minded individuals in such a way without much barrier then that'd be pretty cool.
