If this is true I will have no reason to continue with live. Love to talk to friends as we play differant games. Get tired of talking to annoying and hateful people in the open chat all the time. This is truefully about the only feature of gold I really value. Bullshit in its fullest if this happens.

Is that going to change when you play on your PS3, which also doesn't have Party Chat?

Of course not it was never there in the first place. Something makes you mad when you lose it, not when you never had it. Plus this is one feature that I tell everyone that  PS3 does not have that made/makes xbox live much better. And yes without cross gaming chat I wold buy more games for my ps3 because theres one less reason to buy for xbox. Sorry just the truth.

Yeah, I got mad too when Sony took backwards compatibility away for PS2 games, card reader slots and 2 USB ports. I agree with you in that regard. Taking away things that were there in the first place.

Certainly annoying things in the fullest. Luckily for me I bought an an early 80 gig that has all thoose features. Still we choose what we like I can't blame you if that makes you mad.

You can always use Skype for this "cheating".

I don't get the point of this. Of course people in a party chat are going to have advantages that people who are not don't have. I don't see why Microsoft needs to make sure games are fair, that should be the developers job, nevermind that I don't think they should be doing it either, it's not really cheating.

Isn't this a thread of Live lovers getting pissed off?

I'd hardly say this is a Live haters thread. I myself love Live and I use the party chat option all the time to talk to my friends and family while gaming. I love the option because you don't have to listen to all the little kids or immature loosers. If I'm forced to partake in an in game chat feature I'll be pissed.

Also the idea that the party chat helps players cheat (Yelling out hostile locations), think about it a second, you'd have that communication at a LAN party, you'd have that kind of thing in a single room four player match. Infact in real warfare when a soldier gets taken out they have GPS and can see exactly where they were killed and if the soldier isn't quite dead he'd radio in who is taking him out and where the hostile is.

So what does removing Private chat do? it just makes games worse!

^ I doubt it will be removed completly, but like they said (if true), that MS has given developer the Option to exclude it. But i think everyone, well most anyway, see the upside of party chat.

So i think its more software related (games) than Live itself.

This.  I wonder how many people actually read the article, and how many are just reacting to the title...
