Considering that that's how every update to the 360's dashboard has been looking, I'm not surprised at all. It's not about the games anymore, for Microsoft, it's just an advertising platform.

When you're paying to use youtube as an app on your own system, it's a sign that the company is fucking you up the ass.

Where have you been? Netflix had that problem before YouTube came alone.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Well that too. But you need an account with Netflix to use it (I think), so no point in using it as an example. PS3 lets you use youtube... a dumbed down version that's set on the same standards on smart tvs. But they don't charge you to use it because there's no mandatory subscription.

But... kinda makes me wonder that if they are requiring everyone to have PSN+ for PS4, does that mean all other network capabilities are off if you decide to discontinue paying for this new mandatory online subscription.

It's already been laid to stone that PlayStation Plus will only be required for online "real-time" multiplayer. All other online features will remain free. It's not even "mandatory" in the first place. Same goes for Xbox Live Gold.

Sure, for the majority of the apps on the 360, you need to have a Gold membership, but calling it mandatory would be like saying that you can't even use the bloody console itself without paying extra on top of the initial purchase.

This.

Honestly I still play enough online to warrant the Gold sub, I actually just buy a shitload of stores on black friday and buy out their cheap 3 month pre paid cards :P

One year of gold: 20 bucks.

If I didn't, my TV has all the features as well.

I do it too, even if I don't think 5 bucks a month is that bad.

When you're used to living off 300 bucks a month, you learn.

Still go cheap, even though I have a real job.

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUCK?????

There are actually Microsoft fans that are literally stupid enough to petition them to bring the DRM plans back. I just... I don't even... why would you WANT that?

100 bucks say most of those signatures were blind ones, as in they didn't read it.
