PC gaming will always be PC gaming. Console Gaming may become a lot of things, but what I can say for sure that it isn't, is PC Gaming. The ecosystem may be changing, but it's not the consumers which are forcing them to explore these murky paths. To my knowledge, Call of Duty has not made it big on the iPhone. Nor…

Speaking as another 'rest of us', the piracy argument is bull. Most current consoles do not have a piracy problem. Unlike the PC, which has easy access to all the components that allow it to be used to pirate games, you need to do some pretty extensive hacking to get a next gen system to do the same, which requires…

Yeah, forget the flying cars, we have video game consoles that... uhm... Sell us our rights back to us.

Wah wah wah.

Could be the phrasing, but ultimately, it's the package. XBox dreams up a vision of console gaming that we don't want.

Meanwhile, used games marketplaces will end up like this:

Starcraft, still $15 after fifteen years, no rarity taken into account.

Still, how many people do you think, of the people who can't seem to fault the XBox One, are just plants? It'd be nice to know some stuff about that.

Agreed. In fact, I just found Suikoden III at a Gamestop the other day. It's definitely worn a little by date, but it's impressively fun, and unlike anything I've played on a newer console. Oh, and it was only 11 dollars.

The online checking might not be hard for most people, but what do we get for it? My fridge might make a loud noise as it turns on partway through the night, but I'm willing to deal with it, because that noise is happening so that my food can stay cold.

Just like the PS3 did after PS2's long-term success?

Maybe you shouldn't deal with it. That's pretty much what the article is saying. Maybe this shouldn't be a thing that you take in the ass. Maybe you should stop, and think to yourself 'hey, this deal is shit, I don't want'.

I don't know about 'gamers', I only know about me.

Just like how I don't know about 'consumers', I only know about me.

I can't afford the kind of gaming XBox One expects. I work a good, honest day's work, and get paid very little. Besides a very few favorite games, I buy most of my games used, and borrow the ones I…

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it has to do with how Japanese people love Evangelion, even though the main character is so, so awful, and conversations could have up to a six minute on-screen pause.

Or maybe it has to do with the whole split personality thing. I think even Yu-gi-Oh had some pretty legit…

Lol, man, I was gonna respond, but the internet appears to have done that for me.

Yes.

Yes? Actually, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what that means.

I mean, sure, it makes sense. I imagine book sellers would love if you had to buy every book brand new from them. Or, if you did buy used, if they got to dictate how much it sold for, and took a percentage. That doesn't make it right.

Here here. Burn Microsoft down and salt their earth.

A shitty world. Big wigs need they hoes. Big wigs should have them hair ripped out and be bald like the rest of us.

Then maybe we should tear Apple a new one too. Don't be complacent just because some other company shoved their dick in that hole. Rip it off and tell them to try again.
