It is literally the Number 1 thing keeping me from getting an Xbox. I refuse to ever pay a monthly subscription to own a console and if that means I am without online multiplayer I can live with that.

The whole content creation is great and they should definitely ask for compensation for the expensive creation of content and gaming servers. However every single other portal for Netflix doesn't charge for Netflix. You pay internet, and hardware for phones, computers, tablets, smart TV's, settop boxes, mp3 players,…

If it was an optional accessory people would love it. The mandatory part is the part that annoys people.

And if Microsoft would take the freaking streaming services out from behind the paywall I would actually get one for media. For the nonmultiplayer gamer the 100$ included kinect and the 300$ (If you annoyingly shop the deals too keep it from 600$) for the XBox Live over a life cycle means that XBox is double the cost…

But you don't need to pay to use netflix and other streaming services

Meh there are far more mockable things than saying that turning anything into a bomb is trivial and how often are there zero objects around. Pretty much the exact opposite makes more sense as a joke.

I'm just really confused because they clearly had no idea who they were making fun of. Gambit makes things blow up not throw stuff really hard.

Yah I am super confused that they didn't even google who they are making fun of.

It just feels petty.

I see way more positive XB posts on here than negative these days.

I just wish streaming video services weren't behind the paywall

I had assumed that was already how it was done.

Gizmodo goes the opposite and backs XB with the passion of a crazed monk

Risk that you control means both time and a very small sample size. I am fallible but if the stock market totally crashes for 30 years. I will have bigger worries, like who to rob for their gasoline.

When you enter a system do you imagine yourself as the average user or an exception?

People generally think they have it under control long past the point of no return. As obvious as it seems to those on the outside, if you're in it you can believe you're objectively doing alright. It is just how the brain is wired.

Merchant fees are another word for interchange.

Credit card companies are not free money machines. The risk is what you give them in return for the loan. They make money because people think that they will be smart, until they are wrong. All the money for that cash back comes from people that were either in hard times or thought they were being smart but got over…

Basically you need to assign a value on annoyance/risk/temptation and rewards/cashback/temporary emergency plan.
