Its kind of logical, because hosting games digitally isnt free.
When you buy a game in stores, part of the money goes to the one who pays the bills of the stone and mortars.
But if you buy it digitally online, part of the money goes to the people that pay the bill for hosting the games.
Cheapest solutions should still be buying a physical game online from an online store, they have lower expenses.
double post, ignore this one.
Well, to make sure i made a full deposit on my Bol.com preorder.
Dont wanna miss out on that 1st day edition.
We dont know that, because the online check is gone.
Maybe the one time only online authentication will work fine in East Europe.
besides, East Europe doesnt really hold a big share yet in the Gaming market.
Quite possible, cause wether you want to believe it or not, MS got franchises that people want to play.
Are you afraid to be watched?
If so, play offline, Kinect cant send a darn thing if your offline.
I cant see how it affects them, Considering you can play offline.
How are they supposed to watch you if your not online?
I would wait until all the games are out, and reviewers compare them.
Blowing your load early on doesnt help anybody.
As long as we get to play the games we want to, we all win.
It doesnt matter which one has the edge, as long as the three keep competing, the real enemy is social gaming.
People will turn around, eventually all the negative will be nothing but a distant memory, and people will be looking at what it offers now and in the future.
Dunno about others, but if i dislike a gaming platform, and it starts to pump out games that appeal to me, it has my interest.
Uh, if all the games you care about are on the XB1, and some are not on the Ps4, then it seems logical to get an XB1.
Its about the games isnt it?
MS is a bussiness, and like every bussiness the main draw is to bring in customers.
So no matter how you look at it, they did it to bring more of us in, like any other company does.
The flood of XB1 games.
This is sadly the other side of the coin, it might happen.
But on the other hand, bringing in consumers is also important to keep game studio's open.
Hopefully game sales will increase further this gen, so that game company's can keep their people employed.
How come you hate me this time?
1 - no
2 - yes, kinect is no online thing, its mandatory for usage, unless MS will state otherwise in the near future.
3 - no, as that would allow piracy without the online check, disc only now.
4 - yes, this can be seen in one of the killer instinct video's.
Gamestop will no longer stop games, good news.
Well, Publishers do get more money out of it, as the hosting do is slightly cheaper, but its not a big margin.
However, if you sell a million copy's, it could still be a significant amount of money.
So i suppose in bulk it makes a difference.
