MS leaving the console race would be good for gamers.

This is all my opinion, mind you, but I remember saying all the way back in 2000 that the Xbox would destroy gaming and now, I feel....pretty vindicated.

DLC,dude bros, online passes, games shipped in beta, studio closing shop left and right, nothing but shooting/killing games, decline of Japanese titles, online subscriptions....yeah, MS really did the industry great. I totally enjoy the gaming industry in 2014 so much more than 1999.

Totally.

Bold: How is this the Xbox's fault?

I remember the industry before and after. Before MS joined the party, the biggest games on the planet were mostly Japanese games. After? Not so much. MS changed gaming into a dude bro, no scope, Halo,GOW,COD shit fest. Instead of MGS and DMC, we're fed COD, Halo, Titanfall...it never ends. Japanese games don't sell like they use to and it's because of MS impact on the industry imo. I watched the sea change. It happened.
