| Zkuq said: I believe we've had the discussion about 'subscription-parity' before. Anyway, since it's already free on PC and changing that is practically impossible thanks to Steam, the only remaining option is to make it free on Xbox, just like you said. Considering how many Gold users (most of them probably quite happy) there are and how much money MS is making from them, do you think MS is going to do anything about it? Of course not. The lesser evil is to simply combine free and paid members into one userbase. Personally, I loathe paid multiplayer when it's clearly not required for operating the online infrastructure. But people keep paying for it happily, so the companies keep charging for it. |
Sure with PC, but not with a competitors console. Buy our competitors console and you an play our game for free, buy our console and you must pay us to play our game.
It's kind of worse imo when it's another console. You're giving a better service(free) to people that buy someone elses console over your own, all be it for one game at the moment.
