Why is Microsoft screwing everyone?

They are becoming evil - yes, but nowhere near EA and Activision yet.

Microsoft has ALWAYS BEEN EVIL. They just acted somewhat nice for a while because they needed some time to get their foot in the door before we could kick them out.

It's what happens when you're in such power and influence, they do the most they can to take advantage of their position. BUT, it's not like their service isn't great, it IS. There is NO point beating this dead horse again, it's only going to fuel ones fanboyism and ego.

Here we go again. Microsoft is a business, they want to make money. End Thread

They're screwing over their players. They're screwing over developers. And, they're screwing over the entire industry. Second_Hokage

another way to look at it is that they are providing a service that people largely support

or am I missing the point?

Hey i just realised EVIL spelled backwards is LIVE......and xbox spelled backwards is xobx...coincidence??????

They are no worse than Sony or Nintendo or any other company. They are all out for our money!!!

Lol i think you got something there...:lol:

Well obviously because screwing feels good.

even though they do a lot of shady bs i think the innovations they've brought this gen to consoles outweigh that. at the end of the day they're a business, and no business cares about people. they only care about how much money they can milk out of people.mems_1224

Microsoft is evil without me. I gave my fortune to the people!

You mean the initial cost of 300$ for 360 when PS3 had a 600$ cost ?

Or the secure and amazing online service, than having 10.000.000 credit cards stolen on PS3 joke online system ?

Maybe the fact that they have enabled indies create actual games with XNA, when Sony has nothing like it

Or the Kinect that is actually used in games unlike MOve that is a device Sony brought out and have zero support for it

Sure, MS is so evil and Sony is like a saint comparing

LOL

I like their windows products, but I dislike their console products.

Me equals conflicted.

Well, you see. It really easy to explain. Microsoft is like a swarm of Locusts, they take what they need from an area and move on. Whenever this stops brining in enough numbers, they'll move on.

Indeed, like Sony made the PSN+ to make extra money and they completly abandone the core in 2012 without a single serious game other than wonderbook and LBP Karting for the extreme casual market

I like having both Microsoft and Sony screwing me at once. With all joke aside, Microsoft is a business as with all developers and corporations and they too like everyone else just want to maximum their revenue.

It's because lemmings only have a 360 so they're now forced to look at it on m$ business standpoint, so they're just gonna say " well, m$ is a business so they can screw me over and over"j_assassin

They are not screwing everyone ...

... their shareholders, for example, are pretty happy ...

... and their shills get MS points for damage control on forums ...

Yes, they are definitely evil.

I guess that's what happens when a company gets too big.
