You can play that crap called Xfire or you can pay for a great service. Look at how great it is on console so you can imagine how great it will be on the PC. :)
Microsoft merging their two babies together, interesting...:|thirstychainsawThey plan to form an entertainment arc with the help of their illegally obtained software monopoly.

You obviously missed the part in parenthesis that said, (on XBOX360). :roll:

So I'm gonna have to get a Live Gold account to play some FPS against a 360 owner? F^(& that. I love how everything is no longer free. Isn't paying $60 for a game enough? :(Cpt_Meh

Ok maybe that was too strong of a statement. Xfire isn't crap but why does it need to update every few days. Anyway it can't compete with the way more powerful XBL. ;)

That's what the "delete message" button is for, so that you don't have to relive your moment of humiliation over & over again. I'll accept my ownage. :cry:
Just for the record, they may or may not charge for Live Gold on the PC - they're debating that. They last thing MS said on the matter was "We're looking into what they will pay for." If they do charge, no one will buy it.mattbbplExactly :S Why pay to challenge console gamers... When you can play for free against PC gamers. Its a bad idea meh thinks.
Live gold account on windows? They trying to charge PC gamers for online now?
Devil-Itachi
Meaning they'll screw PC-owners again...got it.
MS was the first to charge for software. Windows back in the 80's.
And they will be the first big money maker when it comes to playing PC Online games.Â
and the rest of the guys will follow. They will see MS making money while they are wasting thier time hosting servers and not making a dime ,what you think they will do? they will follow MS's lead.

I think the suggestion is that you have to have an Xbox Live Gold account to play against X360 players, but PC-vs-PC online games will still be free.

PC gamers are the biggest FPS customers around. why would MS want to target a person who owns both 360 and pc. DOnt you thin that is a stupid move by MS? i would think so

DOnt you thin that is a stupid move by MS? i would think so I think it's more a case of MS thinking, "We can do it without losing money, so let's do it." I mean, XBL is just a way to recoup losses incurred from the development and sales of 360 hardware. There's no real reason to have it on Windows other than to offer 360 owners some additional conveniences by allowing them to access and modify their account outside of their 360.

No one is gonna ****ing buy it.

OMG MS is going to try to milk us PC gamers also? Ok i had enough with ms. I am cool for paying 50 a year even though i sorta feel that it shoud be free. now i will have to pay additional for pc gaming if i decide to buy it for the pc. And i feel sorry for pc only gamers who are going to be milked by MS, think MS is just plain out dumb to think they can milk us pc gamers when we had FPS games online for free. SO is the this what MS meant by xbl anywhere? charge vista owners with a xbl account for the pc? this is f ing b s alfy13You probably don't need Live to play online on PC unless you want to play vs. 360 players are just like the service. From what I have heard Xbox Live accounts work on PC, so you don't need 2 accounts.
I didn't know that companies couldn't charge for online services on PC, I guess WOW is free and so is Everquest.DGZeus
there's a difference, mmorpg have thousands of people playing at a time, while fps are a few people.
