Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I buy 95% of my games on PC (which have had CD keys for, what, 15 years at least?), and when I do buy console games, it's always new, never used.


So yeah. I don't care at all.

This, sucks for people who won't be able to afford to constantly drop 60 on a game but I honestly can't act like I personally care what Sony is doing against used games.

Well that sounds like a swell place.

Where's the option that says quit digging the goddamn horse outta the ground and move the fuck on with your lives?

@PandaBear: But McShea wrote. I gotta find something redeeming in the guy and I just did despite how little that facet is.

@msavo: It's not even worth giving the time of day. That Netflix app went from best to shit after the "metro" dashboard redesign.

@Colourful_Hippie: That is just the sad cycle. Back when XBL was really the preimire place to play online games on consoles it made sense now a ton of people built their friends list around Xbox and since that is where everyone's friends are they pony up. Also, Microsoft still has that one trump card of Halo and I happen to have played a TOOOOOOOON of Halo. So they kinda got me by the balls.

I got lucky and most of my friends made the switch to PC when I did too. Also I just don't play multiplayer games as much as I used due to increasing lack of free time. As for Halo yeah I get that, I'm the same way with Gears. I'm too good and continue to have fun to not want to retire the MP ever.

@Flabbergastrate: At some point you're paying for a well maintained service sure but that price is where it is because people continue to pay the price of admission. You have to admit that it took a special kind of arrogance to show just how much you care about people picking apart your service by actually raising the price instead of lowering it. You gotta give them props for that.

Holy shit how did he find the time to stop hating military games and write this article??

He was outlining the article while Ryan was yelling at him for his bullshit Vita defense in that one Gamespot feature.

(I'll stop now)

I remember thinking Xbox Live fees (these days, Gold) was complete bullshit back on the original Xbox, as I had been playing online - at no additional cost - for many years with various PC games.

Happy to see more people coming around to this opinion of Microsoft's online service.

It's not that I'm cheap, or can't pay, it's just that nobody should be charging extra for that kind of basic functionality.

In the beginning their service was of a standard that the price of admission was justified and Sony's PSN was weak out of the gate and took a while to catch up. Now Gold is just highway robbery.

@Demoskinos said:

Is it bullshit? Yeah. Am I going to continue to give them money? Yeah. Are they going to continue to charging money? As long as suckers keep paying.

For sure, I think I'll be able to fool myself into still paying for one last year because I doubt I'll hold onto Gold when the new consoles arrive.

Aww comon, man's okay.

Nah.

Not awful, just weak.

I laughed way more than I should have at that.

This.

@laserbolts: If this isn't worth talking about then I need to readjust my priorities in life.

Yeah, you do.

I think this is build-up for next episode when Jeff turns heel and runs Ryan over with a Lincoln Town Car.

Collusion!

Meh, I do wear the BOMB shirts but that's mostly because I love the site and the shirt design more than the thing being game related. If I want to show off my interests I'll just do it with posters on my wall.

Truly this is the only appropriate way to release that.

Wow, it's a fucking hour long. Fantastic.
