Wow some Xboxs users are actually accepting this horse shit! They are actually trying to rationalize it, but oh well they do pay for playing online after all, they already let Microsoft get away with that one just to play Halo.


It's a free market, people do have the choice to buy it or not, regardless of what you think personally.


I own every Halo game on console and Halo 1&2 on the PC, I love my Sci-Fi so that's all that it will take for me to pick up the new machine.

Besides, my PC is online 24/7 with several hundred Steam games, even though I can set Steam to offline mode, how often have I done that? Never? Damn right.
In-fact my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are always connected too, just for the updates, exclusives and multiplayer with my poor PC-less brother, which over time I've bought all his Xbox games anyway.

What I'm *really* on the fence about is the Playstation 4, my Playstation 3 was connected for the updates and to play Blu-rays, nothing else, seems like a waste upgrading that console just to play back movies, but it was the best bluray player money could buy "back in the day", even if Sony lost money out that transaction and never made it back.


So you have the ability to play steam games offline??


Yes of course you do!  I don't know where this weird "Offline mode isn't even real" thing comes from.  Except for one time that I cannot explain, I have ALWAYS been able to play ALL of my Steam games offline while on a flight or traveling.  I also do not by "Always Online" games EVER!   However I have yet to want a game that requires online that isn't a MP game like MAG or something...
