@darkstalker: I'm not comparing the two services, it just rankles that they talk a bunch of yang about how "PS+ membership is up more than 200% since the launch of PS4, so clearly people love it." Well, no shit, guys, you now make everyone who has a PS4 pay if they wanna play multiplayer. I just bought a PS4 yesterday, BTW, not fancying, just not a fan of the corporate BS.
I love how they talk about the rise in PS+ subscribers as if it exists in a vacuum. Dude, you switched from a free service to putting your multiplayer behind a paywall. That might have something to do with it. Fucking PR, man.
Thanks for that picture of you and Ryan, Patrick, that's really sweet. Been a noticeable lack of lack of Ryan mentions lately (to be fair, I've been reading oldest to newest, so i could be off base here). I'm sure everyone's still coming to grips with it and are dealing with it the best they can. But nothing has defined 2013 for me more than that terrible day I read the news. I appreciate all you guys and all that you do. And I've been role-playing Papers, Please, one day at a time. Fantastic experience.
You were a good man, Ryan. We love you so much. Can't imagine what the crew and Anna must be going through. From a weekend of elation to a weekend of deep sorrow. Been listening to you since Gamespot, through Arrow Pointing Down, and now here. Just a wonderful personality. Miss you, man.
@graf1k: I agree with you 100%. As I stated in another post, I've been an XBox owner for two generations now, but all these decisions that benefit everyone except their core audience are baffling and, frankly, worrisome. It shouldn't have been so difficult for MS to realize they were stepping on a giant turd with these policies. It's insulting and astonishingly arrogant and myopic to think their customers are just going to be fanboys for the XBox no matter what. Here's a clue, guys: we care about games, and whichever platform lets us play the most for the best price and without suffocating our rights as consumer is the one we're gonna pick.
