It's the principle. IMO m$ is saying, enjoy your console as long as you pay for gold. Whereas sony is saying, enjoy your console without silly restrictions.
In response to your last sentence, most of those features aren't made by m$.
So IDK what you were trying to get at.
I understand if that is something that irks you...I honestly do. But I'm not the type of consumer who holds grudges or thinks xyz company actually cares about their consumer. YES some really do, but myself as a consumer I don't care about that.
m$ lies about caring about it's customers, but I it's clear to me that their customers are #2 on their agenda. They even have a loyalty program now, so m$ cares about making it seem like they care about their customers.
I'm not one for "brand loyalty" or anything, I buy whats best for me and what I like the most. simple as that..... MS could come out and say "we hate all of use people and you all can suck our (*##@" I wouldn't care. Obviously some people DO care, and thats their prerogative.
Don mattrick already did pretty much what you're talking about.
You do know the PS4 requires PLUS for online play right? (which i understand is better than LIVE for free games but thats about it, from what I hear)
Like I said, I have no problem no problem with paying to play online, regardless of which system I'm using.
So IF one plans on playing PS4 online, they must PAY for it. Which makes the online set up as far as what you can access on ps4/xb1 basically the same thing.
From my understanding with ps+, you ONLY pay so you can play online. You aren't barred from free or paid services, FTP games, etc. Plus(pun) you get free on your ps3, ps4, and ps vita. When I compare ps+ to my xbl subscription, I realize that ps+ is way better.
OFCOURSE we all know, you can have a ps4 and use it as a media box for your netflixs and hulus and ufcs and internet for free... BUT W/O online play...why even bother?? Just hook your cpu to the tv
I don't have the exact numbers, but a lot of people use their ps3s for just netflix. Hell I even used my wii to access youtube. At that time, I didn't have a media player, so the wii did just fine.
I'd rather use a media player, it's way more conveinent.
Feel like people are just lookig to pick fights with iyen for no reason
I agree with him on the ms gold stance, why should i pay for something that you didn't create
i mean you don't have too. I find it. Silly that people would pay twice for Netflix when you can get a dedicated Netflix receiver for 20 bucks. So IMO its dumb to complain. Don't buy it.
As for the picking fights, I just find him trying to bring a negative vibe to the thread. Like you rarely see people post the shortcomings of the ps4 in that thread cause lets be real you'd get rebuked. But it's almost as if he purposefully seeks this stuff out just to complain. He's been saying the same thing for months. He doesn't like the pay wall we get it
Not everything I post in here is criticism towards m$. empire is the one who's mainly posting "negative" articles about the xb1, but somehow I might be "purposefully seeking this stuff out just to complain."
Nobody is picking fights with iYen, it just gets old when iYen continuously whines about things that aren't new.
plvn does. He keeps insulting me as if I hurt him in some way.
Posting criticism and replying to people who reply to you isn't continuously whining.
If you don't like the fact that you need xbox live gold to access these services you already pay for then you can access them on a myriad of other devices, nobody is making you purchase an Xbox One just to use these services.
As I already said, I have no problem with paying for xbl to play online.
So what was your point there?
Its been like this for years, if you don't like it buy a ps4.
