i could be wrong about this but isnt that what PC gamers were doing all along. Wasnt it the companies that started taking away the users ability to host their own servers?

True, seems MS wants to control how everyone plays online while xbox gamers should pay the bills. Pretty unfair

unfair? kinda, but here's the thing and this is kind of harsh. The users have to share some of the blame, these companies will only do what they think they can get away with. They got away with charging for XBL which more and more people started to see over the years that maybe they really didnt need to pay for it. No offense but the bed was kinda made already.

The whole XBL confused me from day one. What were people actually paying for? I know you pay to play online but what were they REALLY paying for? They had stuff like Netflix behind a paywall, no one else was doing that. They only just started adopting the PS+ "free" game thing with subscriptions. Cross game chat is a hardware issue (vita has that feature). And the whole it runs better is a myth (it depends on the game). Believe me if MS could charge on PC they would, but they cant, they know that, PC gamers know that.
