    Hatred is a strong assumption based on what I’ve said, especially because I’m simply using them as an example.

    Acting like xbox live is the only reason online gaming costs money is silly.

      Bethesda brought microtransactions with horse armor.

      Microsoft did online subscriptions for online functionality on consoles. I don’t know why you think it’s silly, they were the first to do it. If things had gone different, it could have been Sega.

        No what I think is silly is the suggestion that somehow being first to the punch makes them responsible… It’s not like the other console makers went “Well, that’s just silly, we don’t need the infinite cash flow that this brings in! That’s nonsense.”

        What you hate is capitalism, Microsoft is just a name.
