Yes you are using Xbox live on the PC end for free, however there aren’t nearly as many first party titles as there are third party and others. PC users will get all Microsoft developed games. The thing is I play on X1 with my brothers and cousins who don’t live in my state and it’s a huge variety of games with barely any being a Microsoft game.

Save it Mr. Trollrat. Your snarky remarks are as irrelevant as your existence. Its a given that those who play on PC will have the service for free since its an open platform. PS4 owners, minus the free to play games ( one of the best thing done by Sony ) are in the same boat, PC players dont need to pay to play online.

And the PC players will be using that Xbox network at no cost.

With that in mind, we all know who the Xbox market is at this point.

Agreed

And….boom

Meh, very few people care – which is why they felt they should do this. When you have a stale and/or unprofitable division, you either revamp it, or cut it out. This way, you focus your resources on the way more important stuff.

I say this as a Kinect owner who purchased Insanity on Xbox Fitness. I still don’t really care! I still have another year to use what I purchased (until July 2017 I think it was said), and I am still guessing they’ll later announce that I can download the videos or something to use outside of the service. Spencer has been pretty good about things so far, I doubt he will randomly handle this poorly.

Oh and about the Kinect functionality…even less people care about that. All we lost was the “ability” to use gestures to navigate, and it was BY FAR the slowest way to do ANYTHING on your console. Voice commands and/or the controller are waaay faster than that. So who cares, we weren’t using it anyways.

People are already obsessed with “console wars” so in my opinion, taking away some of the fuel for the fire is a great idea. Back when the numbers were released, they were accompanied by hundreds of articles all saying “SNY W1NS – XBONE AND M$SFT BE FAILIN” – and it was always idiotic.

Let me just reiterate something that can’t be said often enough with regard to consoles these days…EVERYONE CAN WIN! That’s right, Xbox, Playstation, Wii, they can all be successful despite only one of them (Sony) holding the lead on sales. Ok good, now we can all move on.

And you never paid one cent for xbox fitness yet you’re here complaining. Anyone can see past your trolling.

LOL, Ustream still exists outside PSN, and I never paid one red cent for Ustream. Are you mad, bro?

Stop crying. You wasn’t using that function and i doubt you even own an xbox. You’re just finding something to complain about. Why not complain about sony taking away ustream.
