| kumagawa said: The 3rd party publishers host there servers not Microsoft or Sony and they do not require additional fees on top of the $60 for the game. The PS+ and Xbox Live are a cash grab plain and simple they are pure profit with 0 cost. Microsoft did it because if it failed they could afford the risk and the moron public bit and now it's permanent. The next step will be fees for online for individual games. Because honestly there are enough idiots out there that Cod, Fifam Madden and GTA could do it now and people would pay it. |
The game hosting yes, the network features no.
Its not the same as forcing one to pay for netflix or youtube, the game's use of network features does go through the respective companies servers.
Online fees for individual games is DRM, it would fail immedeatly.
