| nightsurge said: You actually just validated his comparison. "Every network has to charge in order to make money." Guess what. Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, etc are networks, networks and services. Steam doesn't charge because they make all their money selling games. PSN charges with PS+ because they realized they lost way too much money with a completely free service. Xbox Live charges because they know you need the income and can use that to make the best services/network available. His comparison works because there are extremely cheap or even free alternatives to using a phone/cell phone network. :) |
His comparison didn't work, as I pointed out, the phone is used to get onto the mobile network, a 360 is not primarily used to play on Live, the ISP is for that and you've already paid for it.
Also, an extremely cheap and even free alternative to playing games online would be to play football outside in a park with your friends based on this comparison.
Hmm, pie.
