S.T.A.G.E. said: Hopefully Microsoft addresses the Windows 10 and Xbox Live Gold concerns. The offerings on both platforms should not be equal given that console gamers pay. |
The offerings aren't equal. You get free games for Xbox consoles each month but no free PC games. Every Xbox game with multiplayer mode uses the XBL-service, only a fraction of Windows games will use the XBL-service.
Sony's situation is similar... there are only a few multiplayer games for the Vita (most handheld games are single player experiences), so they don't put the multiplayer access on Vita behind a paywall.
