Between the Big three (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo), who is the worst when at the top?

Would honestly be Microsoft.

They would turn gaming into subscription services similar to Office365 and Microsoft Word. One time purchases will be changed into monthly fees to essentially rent a game. As anti consumer as Sony and Nintendo have been recently, Microsoft trying to double the cost of XBLG is by far the worst consumer practice in recent memory, despite walking back on that.

Exactly. My thought exactly. People are just blind. They can’t remember the 360. When Microsoft wanted to grab consumer base so they started making great exclusives. They also introduced paid online. Or else today we could all have free online just like on pc. 

remember what happened when Microsoft was beating Sony. They got lazy and no new exclusives coming besides forza. While Sony continue with great games like last of us and ni no kuni. 

this will happen again. When gamepass has enough subscribers they will raise the prices and you will never own your games. No second hand. No lending games. Just pay up every month more and more. 

Dreamcast introduced paid online.

Also, your remarks regarding raising prices and not owning your games.. you mean exactly like Nintendo did with the online expansion, and what Sony is doing with the new PS+? You gotta pay more on both just to have access to certain titles, which aren’t available outside the services, and are only accessible with a subscription. It’s funny how the doomsday scenario some here are preaching for MS, already exists with the other two.
