@allison @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @furgar @dushman Xbox might not be the best platform for such trash. I don't know if it still holds true as my Xbox is just sitting in the corner collecting dust, but it used to require Xbox Live Gold subscription to play anything online. So there is no crowd who like to get something for free, but can be lured into paying for something later. Not the right environment for all this microtransaction bullshit.
@dushman From purely economical perspective, they've got expenses for server maintenance, traffic, etc. If they don't charge you every month, they'll put it in a price of every game.
Some just don't need multiplayer. Like me actually. I've always got Live Gold at a discount. And you received two free games with it each month: one for Xbox 360 and one for Xbox One.
So it wasn't THAT bad.
I mean I was angry when Blizzard had this idea to charge you for SC2 monthly, but with Xbox it kinda works.
>From purely economical perspective, they've got expenses for server maintenance, traffic, etc.
PC games can manage this while charging less for the game itself more often than not so this excuse is basically null
CSGO, an online only game basically, costs like 13$ and is one of the biggest money makers for Valve at the same time.
