I don't get why the people who probably won't ever buy a XBox are the most vocal against live gold. MS has made tons of money on gold suscriptions during the last 10 years. I don't think they will change this the next generation, they will want to keep the income source. If you don't want to pay for live, do as I did, don't buy a MS console, there are alternatives.

There are alternatives. But when you like the exclusives, there are not many others consoles to go to...

People just don't have the choice but to pay more to have access to the features on the disc they already paid for. I have a "profound distaste" for that practice on a principle levl. In the end, MS hold their gamers by the nuts. 

There are other exclusives in other consoles or the PC. You are not obliged to play Halo or Forza, you have other games you can spend your time playing.
