What I dont get is it really that much of a financial burdon for these companies to keep the servers up. These companies are getting more and more servers for the sake of a lot of things and they can probably keep all these games online features on a handful of servers due to the already low player count. I feel the energy cost to keep these servers up is a drop in the bucket for them.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
