Microsoft fucked over console gaming by forcing console gamers to pay for server coverage. Sony saw that they were paying and stayed away for as long as they could, but eventually while they were losing money they had to find a way. I'm not excusing it but I can understand their logic. I've Microsoft never came into the console business this never would've happened. We're paying for everything PC gamers get for free on both sides of the Sony/MS spectrum.

If Microsoft never came into the business online console gaming would be 10 years behind. And you can't compare console gaming to PC gaming. PC is totally different. For example, there isn't just one major PC manufacturer. If PC was going to charge who would charge us? HP? Sorry I use a Dell. Dell? Sorry you use an Asus, etc. etc.

You're probably right, but they gave us everything PC already has for free. Its not entirely unique. We would eventually reached that point. You could probably blame Sony for that though, Microsoft wanted to partner with them and Sony turned them down.
