| LudicrousSpeed said: So... cars or tracks in a MS title “count” but maps in a Sony title don’t? Bizarre. Again not even mentioning that you had to go out and buy a shitty magazine for the SOCOM maps, too, Amiibo before Amiibo. And no one is rewriting history. My point was, as I said, these are all businesses who have one main goal and that’s money. Personally I find the idea that MS started this or that to be laughable because MS or Sony doing something doesn’t mean the other has to follow, but they do. Because they want... money. So congrats, MS had “MTX” during the Xbox era and Sony had “MTX” during the PS2 era. |
Do you need a timeline or something, you seem confused?
It's incredibly simple.
Microsoft offered paid DLC first and paid MTX first. They put it in their games first, pitched the idea to other developers, and then popularized it through Xbox Live.
Your 'point' is irrelevant. You're just muddying the waters. Very obviously as well.
There is no "congrats". Trying to lump the two together for damage control makes absolutely no sense when we're looking specifically at the origin between two companies and who popularized it. That's just trying to rewrite history.
It was Microsoft. End of Story.
