@J-Allard
The Dunning-Kruger effect probably went over your head. While yes, you seem to fit the bill dsgrue3 misunderstood what you were saying, which was right that there is a difference between paying for the game servers and paying to access Netflix. As for being a person who doesn't like Live, that isn't because I haven't used it. It is because I have used it that I actively don't have it. Which is something for Microsoft to be concerned over if that sentiment gathers strength.
@ disgrue3
You missed what J-Allard was saying about Netflix and game servers being different. Anyway, I agree with your sentiment, I don't agree with Microsoft imposing dedicated servers onto developers, publishers, and gamers. 360 owners have no choice but to pay into the system Microsoft created in order to access full game features, even if they only want to play one multiplayer game or very little multiplayer. Those who only want access to the features XBL restricts to subscribers also have to fit the bill. Microsoft has artificially created a system they can extract profits out of at the expense of these people.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
