Interesting adjustments they want to make. I'd say the biggest one they left out was just making it free, but maybe that's just me.

Apparently downloads are slow, people who host games have an advantage, and both of these are because there are no dedicated servers. Good read.

I don't pay to play games on a system. That's just how I am.

I am Daemon. I am the Word.

I pay for ownership of the disc and the right to play at my own whim and leisure.

Microtransactions can frankly kiss my arsenal. Pay at entry only not this game tolling nonsense.

I buy the whole game once; not the content WITHIN a game.

I pretty much agree with this - and its not even a question of money. I'll pay for a game, an upgraded version.. or *very occasionally* a map or some significant content. I'll never pay to play (one reason I don't touch MMORG's), or for smaller, less significant content.

Its going to be interesting to see how I 'buy' when song purchasable games come out.
