This is a true and well thoguht out arguement, and i'm going to respond with yes, you are correct, but my original point was that because it is Microsoft, a giant in the bussiness, it will not simply make things free and available to people, becasue why would they? they are where they are now because of that reason.Pyronox said:
I understand that they need it because the revenues will go toward making better games, but i'm pretty anti-large corperation, seeing as i live in the U.S at this time, and it's the big bussiness that have made us go into a downward spiral since then. Still, i like your agruement, my concluding thoughts - Well Put.
There are millions of people crazy enough to pay for it, you think Microsoft is going to just say "OK you don't have to give us money anymore"?
Seriously now? Have you ever even played on PSN? (if you have, disregard the next few statements) PSN is perfectly fine, and most of the games I play on it never lag, at least not profusely since lag is common for any online service. PSN is a perfectly good service for free and asks you near nothing in return, I don't know where you get off saying that PSN is bad unless you personally had some bad experiences with it.SinfulKnight said:
OT: No, LIVE will never be free as long as people are willing to pay for it. End of story.
It'll be free when/if PS3's online gaming service surpasses Live's and MS starts to lose business because of that. It'll be similar to the whole Windows Live situation.bernthalbob616 said:
never going to happen ever because it makes them so much money and no company will choose to get rid of something that makes that much money unless the entire community threatens to stop using it.
Microsoft, give up money? I don't think I've ever laughed as dangerously hard as when i read that supposition.
That would be the worst idea ever!! How horrible do you wan the server to be? The maintenence would never happen or be 1/2 assed on every glitch fix.... my proposal is that xbox offer a platinum package along with the gold and silver. Let it be $100 a year and no one under 18 would be allowed to join. All game content would be free to download instead of this ticky tack download somthing for a retarded exchange rate of 80 points on the dollar. This service would be available by dedicated servers so your Gears of War game never ends when a loser quits. The maintenence would be monthly instead of semi yearly and you could connect with those who are on Gold and Silver on your own terms. The only thing that would get you banned is if you pretend to be older than 18 and are not and get caught. Then you are banned for life, your system is flagged and never available to play live again. Bill gates and your internet service provider come out to your house, Gates kicks you in the nuts (ensuring your squeaky voice never leaves you) while the cable guy rips the insulated high speed cable out of your walls and replaces it with silly string.

Why would they make it free and lose millions in monthly revenue when nobody really has a problem with the subscription anyway ?
No. Unless you plan on modding your Xbox win which case it's already free
