Because that kind of practice is common among people who want to assure themselves and/or others that they aren't heavily biased. "See, reason X, Y and Z are why I chose PlayStation over Xbox/Nintendo."

One very regular complaint last generation was that Xbox Live Gold has a subscription fee, so about every two to three months there was a thread about that topic. These longwinded threads to complain have disappeared since Sony introduced their own online multiplayer paywall, so it's clear that the people who complained the most about Microsoft's paywall were Sony fans, even though they didn't own an Xbox and had no intentions to own one.

I guess the bottom line is that you don't understand because you aren't so biased that you have to spout nonsense to feel better about yourself.

 

Realistically for me paying 50euros a year for XBL wasn't too bad since I made a lot of use of youtube on the system in the sitting room, don't think I ever whined too much about paying for it considering I'm used to paying a sub having played wow since Vanilla til today.... but anyways I disagree with you, being given games like Gears of War 1 or Halo3 really did not increase XBL's value to be equal to that of what psn+ offers imo so the threads would still be in place if it was Xbox live gold members complaining about having to pay the fee... I say "having to" been busy a while now and not had gold in a few months so it's not like Xbox owners don't have the option of not paying for gold if they have issues with it or time to make use of the sub.

There is no spin to be had here, those threads about paying for Gold still existed long after games with gold was introduced anyway.

I would just like to bold RealStoppable's post and your post and just let you look at what you once wanted to be posted to people's foreheads...

I would also like to point out that Games with Gold started July of 2013...just a couple months before the PS4 released.   Quite honestly...I agree with you lol

I dont agree with Realstoppable's post because he claimed it was Sony fans posting negative threads about the online subscription fee.  You even say it yourself that "the threads would still be in place if it was Xbox live gold members complaining about having to pay the fee".  So in fact you dont disagree with me, but rather the statement that you once wanted posted to peoples heads.

I would also like to point out that you are also showing that IT IS XBOX fans who are dissatisfied with XBOX Live as it does not "equal to that of what psn+ offers imo" since games like Gears of War and Halo 3 are games that likely everyone owns.  I agree that they never really gave you value for XBOX LIve which really sucks for those consumers.  What I was initially trying to point out that it is XBOX fans and not Sony fans who are annoyed.  You are living proof of this, so thank you for your post.
