If they put it on phones and tablets it could grab the elusive casual/mobile audience, if they do it right it would be a brilliant move.
Subscriptions to game related services make more revenue than the traditional model we know and love. If the industry decides it can make more money with less of us it will. Those of us who do not buy in run the risk of the industry evolving without us, if it does and we do want to game then yes we will be forced to bite the bullet or play older games on formats past... which is not a market that will last forever.
The industry may adopt it but I wont
I wonder if you could price match at walmart?
Then all game companies will lose a lot of custom
You are going to have to go ahead and tell me which arguments you mean as I am at a loss. If the civil rights movement never happened I wouldn't even exist probably (one black parent one white) so I sincerely hope you don't mean any arguments used by myself.

The thing is that content creators (in most western media) are white straight males. These creators come up with the idea's for their content from their own imaginations, when I imagine a plot for a story I know the main character I create in my mind is either me or an empowered version of me that's how I identify with my fantasy so well.
I imagine it's exactly the same for content creators. The stories they create are made with the...
I work as a nurses aid and one of the patients I used to care for was in a car crash, all he could move were his hands and arms and that was only limited movement so the doctors consider him quadriplegic.
He used to lay there all day on his xbox 360 playing games like red dead redemption and borderlands 2, but by far his favorite game was skyrim, he played it for months straight.
He would tell me how for him it was the only way he could feel like he was able...
How is it mandatory?
Asking for anything is A-OK, what is not ok is having a tantrum about it, making demands and calling people racist, sexist, ageist or whatever other ism might apply because the artists creative vision did not include a certain group or groups.
I honestly believe developers don't exclude out of racism and I don't believe the art they portray is meant to be insulting to a demographic (unless of course it's obviously supposed to be a joke or social commentary) yet th...
This has nothing to do with watch dogs but I do believe it's on topic as it is also a case of people complaining about exclusion.
Mario cart 8 has been accused of racism.

No it isnt fair to say.
When a couple gets married when they make their vows as a general rule they make them with the intention to honor them and be true to one another. If one 9 them cheats they get called out on their betrayal and are rightly vilified for it.
As for the comment about how this was for survival, that's not up for debate. Microsoft said something was impossible when it was not, on account of both the always online a...
Never even touched a ps4 and I haven't played my ps3 in over a year but nice try with all your assumptions and such.
And in my case, personally it is not working.
It's not a bias against microsoft I've had fun on xbox consoles in the past but I can't trust someone who says one thing is truth and does another.
I'm not investing in such an uncertain future.
It may kill gaming as we know it but gaming will always be around in some form or fashion.
Perhaps what is gaming's current model needs to die in order for gaming as a whole to mature and evolve.
It's an attempt to explain the difference in sales without taking any of the blame themselves. Arrogant again.... One stop forward two back for them it seems.
I remember the first time video games died back in the 80's. It was the infamous video game crash.
From the ashes gaming as we know it today rose like a phoenix.
Is gaming going to die again? I bloody well hope so we could use another golden age!
A better title would be,
"How arrogantly believing they knew what was in the best interest of the customers despite the customers point blank telling them otherwise cost microsoft the position they had earned as the lead contender in the gaming community."
I personally am not lazy enough to be swayed into spending an extra $100 just for the convenience of not having to sign in to a console because it can recognize me nor am I lazy enough to put my ...
So microsoft said that the xbox one was built around kinect and DRM then proved themselves liars by reversing DRM and removing kinect.
A lot of people think this is a good idea but I tend to be distrustful of being bold faced lied to so many times, it makes me wonder what else microsoft have lied about. Let's say that these reversals appeal to the mass market and the xbox one ends up dominating this gen, what if microsoft pull a "reversal" and re Institute DRM, ...
I think a lot of it has to do with the business of video game journalism.
In a quest for clicks and ad revenue video game "journalists" build hype, sensationalize things and most often try and create controversy where none should exist.
Sometimes it is in the guise of social injustice, sometimes in the guise of from rate and graphics issues, sometimes it's legitimate but often times not. Everything is overblown just to turn a quick buck and si...
