If this recent news is true I will cancel my XBOX Live account and launch my console of the nearest bridge. Or maybe gut it, pack it full of litter box treats and FedEx it to Microsoft with a colorfully worded greeting card.
So let's see... I already pay for...
1. The console purchase price which is nearly double the previous console, not backwards compatible and like all consoles destined for rapid obsolescence.
2. Fast internet service which is not optional.
3. XBOX Live subscription so I can actually play online with friends.
4. Game titles that I buy and "own" have regular forced DLC updates that add to original purchase price if I want to stay current with content.
5. The majority of the cool content/skins/goodies are pay to play add on purchases as well.
6. Also rumored to be coming soon is that if I download a title and do not play it for a certain period it can be deleted from my account. WTF.
7. And now I get to watch in game ads on top of all this?
Nope. If this is for real I'm all done gaming. Thanks for ruining yet another enjoyable pastime. Honestly I should have quit somewhere around #4 when Destiny started piling on the pay to play DLC content. Enough is enough. If/when these in game ads kick in I'm done. I'll just read a book or workout more. I only really game to stay in touch with some old friends. And for the record they feel exactly the same way. We'll just find other ways to stay connected.
End of rant. Grumble grumble groan.
