100% agree with you. It was an influential move for sure, but it makes me unhappy about online play on all consoles, and I remember very well who is to blame for that (doesn't mean the others are without blame either, of course). From a gamer perspective, that's one of the worst things Xbox has done in its existence due to its influence.

It played a huge role in moving me to PC.  $500 console, plus another $500+ to play online...  at some point the cost of online buys a GPU.  Then classic games being behind a subscription, that broke the camels back.  Consoles arent cheap anymore.  

I think PC became my main platform regardless of the cost of online gaming on consoles, but if I hadn't made that decision yet, the cost of online gaming would definitely affect my choice of main platform now.
