Id say MS is generous....now. With the games for gold I am playing games I never would have bought otherwise. I downloaded Deadlight recently, Saints Row 3 tomorrow, and Dark Souls in June. Hard to complain now about spending $50 a year. |
Their "generosity" comes in the form of doing what Sony does. Its called competition. They are pleasing the consumer by acting like Sony. Its not generosity, it's called damage control in the form of:
-Taking off app blocks from Xbox Live = Following Sony and Nintendo
-DRM Drop= Following Sony
-Games for Gold= Following Sony
-Deals for Gold= Following Sony
-Dropping Kinect= Following Sonys price point after lying about the Kinect being an essential part of the Xbox that cannot be disconnected and then later saying its not but they will never stop selling Kinect with the Xbox. I called their bluff long ago and I was right.
Xbox gamers can hate Sony all they want, but in the end should thank their existence for succeeding where Microsoft would've made a lot of consumers very unhappy. Trust me, I am a lot happier with my Xbox One today because of it. I was about to boycott buying one...but thanks to my cousin he sent me one and I accepted happily.
Thank goodness for the head of Microsoft Games Division as well. That guy listens.

I am aware of them responding to competition. Doesn't change how my subscription more then pays for itself now.

Its like having a Playstation without having Playstation. ;)
