Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
Do we always define technologies by their failures? I think good points have been brought up about Steam, but overlooked. "Always On" does not implicitly mean "Fails when it's off". These are not mutually exclusive. I think the media is doing a great job of drumming up criticism surrounding the failures with Simcity and… -
Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
That is simply NOT true. The used game market has had a HUGE impact on over all game sales. Are you confirming a bias by any chance? Consider this, Game Stop alone reports between 8-10 BILLION US Dollars in annual revenue and they also report that most of that revenue comes from used games. The publisher/developer can sell… -
Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
i only plug in my xbox when a game forces me to update being on a smallband connection for a few days now i can`t really appreciate the always on thing.

Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
I really hate this attitude, "I'm unaffected by X because what I do aligns with X, so it doesn't effect me and those that complain about X should just deal with it." Just because it doesn't impact you, doesn't mean that it isn't bad or wrong. Just because you've never been punched in the balls doesn't mean that isn't bad… -
Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
So because 90% of the games you play on PC are online its okay for the next Xbox console to always be online? Did you ever stop and think for a second before you posted this that you're comparing somethings where you NEED to be online to something where it's just arbitrary. Then you say "deal with it." like "GUYS ITS FINE…
