You guys still supported Netflix/Hulu/ESPN/whatever to be behind a paywall...services you already pay for. In the context of "of course the same people who excused MS making them pay for online, without giving anything in return, are going to excuse 3rd parties for doing these subs just cause its exclusive to the One", it was pretty relevant. He was going on about how XBL "gave him something in return" in the form of the ESPN App which "let's him watch MLS, Portuguese League, NFL, NBA, etc", as if his XBL sub got him those games, when in actuality, apparently, his ISP got him those games Try and keep up before being sarcastic. |
Yeah I am aware of the post that was made that started this whole tangent. It's not really related to the thread at all, was just a drive by pot-shot at an entire fanbase.
lol @ "should disagree about". Why? Because VGC forum guy says so? Per usual you can't grasp the simple notion that different people value things differently.
Also maybe ISP's work differently where you live but where I live the apps Live gives you access to CAN allow you to watch things you'd normally have to pay for through your ISP which just makes the XBLG fee all the more of a value to some people. I, for example, can lease out one less cable box and still watch FIOS television thanks to the FIOS app on Live. That used to be locked behind a paywall, might still be. But I can even watch some networks that I don't/didn't have a subscription to. So it's even better. I know for some, the ESPN app was exactly the same. It seems you should take your own advice about keeping up. Maybe you just aren't following what he is trying to say? Idk.
But at the end of the day, who cares? Does it relate to EA Access in any way whatsoever other than you to point and mock people because they used to formerly support no longer existing services that you personally thought they shouldn't? I mean, ok. I guess some will take whatever victory they can.
