I don't think anyone can really disagree with gabe on this one.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;24731432]That opinion was based on how slow steam is.[/QUOTE] But its not
[QUOTE=booster;24734968]I don't think anyone can really disagree with gabe on this one.[/QUOTE] Tell me about it. I mean, Live has GREAT MOMENTS, but for the most part, it's just little kids.
Live is bullshit. We pay 50 dollars a year, soon to be 60, and still they are greedy little cunts about it.
[QUOTE=flippy645;24730956]steam is more like a train wreck its the most unoptimized piece of shit ive ever used[/QUOTE] Tip: unoptimized is what children call something they don't like but can't think of a rational reason why they don't like it.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;24734525]Wow, not everyone can afford a good computer. Right now I am on a shitty laptop and can not afford a pc at all. Rich fuck.[/QUOTE] You can make a nice computer for cheap these days. You do not have to max out every game ya know?

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;24735694]Live is bullshit. We pay 50 dollars a month, soon to be 60, and still they are greedy little cunts about it.[/QUOTE] It's $50 a YEAR, not a month.

He's right though. Xbox Live is shit especially due to the community.
I don't like steam, please rate me dumb and call me an idiot for having a different opinion.
Did you just steal this OP from the tf2 subforum?
I am an ex-steam user and current Xbox live user. I really enjoy the complicated to use interface on my Xbox 360. The slug like pop-up menu. The annoying navigation. The requirement to download a game app just to watch videos. THE COMPLETE LACK OF CHEAT PREVENTION A.K.A. MW2. THE COMPLETE LACK OF MODDIBILITY ON ALL GAMES WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF BUYING A $400 XBOX AND THE CHANCE OF BEING PERMABANNED. THE NEW PRICE HIKE ON LIVE BECAUSE OF KINECT THAT DOESN'T DO SHIT BUT MIMIC 11 YEAR OLD GAMING TECHNOLOGY. Ugh my rant is over, but god micro$oft he only reason I use your shit service is because, I can't afford a $1000 gaming computer. Although I seriously do enjoy the quick and easy menus on steam. The awesome user community, pumping out mods on the daily. Oh yeah you guys can't forget Valve, maybe the best game developers out there. I love the discounted games on steam. All in all...

Microsoft is getting greedy. I'm expecting a massive loss of players in years to come if the price hikes continue. It won't matter that the kids that make up most of the userbase still love it, a lot of parents will put their feet down if it gets too expensive to stay online.
Xbox Live is more popular and more feature-rich than PSN (from what I've heard, I don't own a Playstation 3), but everything's fucking pricey and community sucks.
Gabe and valve for that matter may be the face of pc gaming elitisism (IMO) but dam i love tf2 so much for me to care
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;24736313]It's $50 a YEAR, not a month.[/QUOTE] woops, yeah, that's what I meant, still bullshit though
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;24739778]woops, yeah, that's what I meant, still bullshit though[/QUOTE] It's pretty cheap though, 50 dollars isn't alot.
[QUOTE=FPChris;24740789]It's pretty cheap though, 50 dollars isn't alot.[/QUOTE] Even though it's cheap, it's not necessarily worth paying for.
[QUOTE=FPChris;24740789]It's pretty cheap though, 50 dollars isn't alot.[/QUOTE] No it's not, but we should expect to have updates, and on Free DLC, 3 dollars to Micro$oft isn't much either.
seriously, box is owned and run by greedy sons of bitches i play on it but i hate it the same time my response to xbox charging for stupid shit: :jerkbag:
Gabe newell is kind of a dumbass when it comes to consoles. I respect him and love Valve but seriously he really needs to shut up with consoles. "Yeah 360 allows us to get content to everyone and is a great service. Fuck the ps3, it's a trainwreck and one of the most complicated machines out there and we simply don't want to fuck with it. Enjoy you're 360 exclusives everyone!" -Portal 2 announcement "Yeah Ps3 is the best system and will have the best, everything about the Ps3 is great and it has the best service, but oh man that 360, total trainwreck, who would ever enjoy [i]that[/i]" Dude can't make up his mind at all
[QUOTE=gparent;24730213]I'm really not surprised by this. Microsoft makes it a pain in the ass for companies to deliver content how they want, and it benefits no one except MS' pockets as usual. It's totally the opposite of VALVe, where they aim for customer satisfaction, constant production of free high-quality content, and maintenance of their games.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry to break it to you, but this is bullshit. I know you're all gonna jump up and say "NO IS NOT TRUE" but it is. Valve is a company just like any other, and wants your money just like any other. They ban people permanently when their accounts are hacked, and then tell them they can't undo it because "they care about their customers". They will immediately follow this up by saying "However if you are banned you can buy the game again". Please tell me how this is not a total contradiction, bullshit, and just wanting your money. Go ahead and disagree with this if you want, I don't really care if you do, but this is a fact. I have screenshots to prove it.
Steam alone is a train wreck. Even on a 4 core, 2 GPU and 8GB system; the fucker still makes my Win7 load like shit. Postpones my start up by atleast 5 minutes.
Microsoft Problem identified.
