Microsoft is  giving away the only thing they do that is worthwhile and unique.

 

And Nintendo, who doesn't have to do anything, is like:

 your $60 a year is funding this shit, lemmings.

 

HermShits playing Halo online without spending a dime. Sheeplords earning achievements, getting a cuphead port, and now your entire feature suite on our console, and we aren't paying a dime.

 

Desr lord MS is fucked.

Y'all are dumb, extreme edge cases and you're acting like this is for every game. Don't quit your day jobs because analysis of reality isn't for you.

In MS games Switch will get all the benefits of Live with no fee, if this isn't an insult in itself I don't know what is.

It's not an insult, you can't expand into other markets like this or PC for example and expect to charge for something like this. It's not universal support on a platform wide basis and it applies to select titles only. It may not cost money for people using the services externally but it enriches the experience for those who do pay for it and benefit from it platform wide i.e. Xbox.

MS treats their lemmings like 5th class citizens and they deserve it

That's one of the most bizarre images I've seen in a while.

 

This is easily up there with something like Final Fantasy XIII sporting the X360 logo at whatever E3 that was so many years ago.

 

Just weird times right now. Weird times, indeed.

Ahh, smart. Make the games for it yourself since they aren't coming. 

 

Damn, you a real lemming. I respect it.
