So why are people OK with ads on the 360/One dashboard?

Why are gamers such whiney babies?? What's on every fucking newspaper, magazine, bluray or sports match you BOUGHT? That's right, ADZZZ!!!

Are people crying on the internet because of this? No. Why? Because they aren't gamers I guess...

So gamers should just roll over and accept shitty corporate moves? If your phone or PC had ads covering most of the home screen, how would you feel? Would you be fine with that? I pay Microsoft a lot more than I pay for any of those products, so I don't expect ads out of them. They don't need the extra money, hell, Sony and Nintendo are in much worse shape and STILL don't show so many "ADZZZ".

You need to play games buddy and stop staring at uninmportant tiles.

Point blank period. I could be bitching how bland the PS UI is and it's not as colorful as Xbox but you know what? I play games, I don't pay attention to that shizzle.

It is really necessary to belittle complaints?

Look, if you like ads and other consumer hating practices forced into the things you like for no other reason than to stay in your wallet... that's cool.  Enjoy your games and "ignore" the bad stuff.

However, just because you're cool with it - dosn't mean everyone has to be.  Telling others to shut up and fall in line is unfair and it needs to stop.
