It's wild that they get away with charging for it

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

MODERATORS
Hatred is a strong assumption based on what I've said, especially because I'm simply using them as an example.
Acting like xbox live is the only reason online gaming costs money is silly.
Bethesda brought microtransactions with horse armor.
Microsoft did online subscriptions for online functionality on consoles. I don't know why you think it's silly, they were the first to do it. If things had gone different, it could have been Sega.
No what I think is silly is the suggestion that somehow being first to the punch makes them responsible... It's not like the other console makers went "Well, that's just silly, we don't need the infinite cash flow that this brings in! That's nonsense."
What you hate is capitalism, Microsoft is just a name.
