Why are things shipping with the idea of "we'll fix it later, don't worry" No, when I buy it, I want it to do everything right, right when I get it. If you want to add things? Sure, but don't leave things out, and say "yeah, we'll do it later."

Things change unexpectedly, so these things change. PS4 was announced with Gaikai Streaming, but that isn't coming for a few months after release. Multiple consoles have done this.

Many games are stripped of features at launch. A lot of software does the same (yes, Steam does this as well). It's not just Xbox.
IMHO using a real name online is a very very bad move outside of professionally using social networking sites. I'm displeased with the fact that more and more companies are trying to push away internet identities. One benefit is it's harder to harass people, but whose to say he can't just fake their name? Not only that, but the issues of harassment leading to RL harassment, and whole shitload of other things, i[i]ncluding the fact that having your RL name as your online name makes it piss easy to find someone you know IRL and stalk and harass them [U]without their knowing[/U].[B].. and people are asking why the cyber bullying is increasing. This is the golden part of this.[/B].[/i] Now, RL identities isn't THAT dangerous, but it's unsafe enough. One of the biggest issues is the fact that less people are understanding that you shouldn't post private info online publicly [B]NEVER EVER[/B]. If anything, this is only going to make it far easier to harass someone. First name is the maximum amount of information you should have public. Worst thing ever would be if it was law that people [B]had[/B] to use their full real life name on all sites. Cyber bullying by people who are willing enough to hide their name would become extremely common and no one would be able to use the internet as an occasional scapegoat out of real life stress. Stalking people and finding out where they live would probably become so much more easy that any idiot could do it, [I]especially[/I] if they want to. It would become very hard to hide personal information, [I]especially [/I]if sites actively tried to search said information and make it public, even if it was optional on some.

They keep pressuring me every few days to use my real name, and I just tell them to fuck off every time.
