Xbox One witch hunt - why it's unjustified (John Carmack)

[ChrisDorner]

Lol at people still acting like Sony is keeping quiet some big news that's gonna piss us off. We know basically everything already. we know we have to pay to play online, we know what we get & don't get if we don't pay. What are you nikkas hoping Sony isn't telling us

Just accept Sony was more on the side of the consumer & Microsoft was going to treat us like shyt if it weren't for Sony doing so much better than them on that end

Please explain how what I said is bullshyt. You really think if PS4 didn't exist this gen that M$ would have fallen back on all those policies they were gonna shove down your throat? If Wii U were your only other option? foh

They announced all that shyt like great things were happening. Oblivious to the fact that any of it was fukked up and it was for the greater good of the gamers.

I pretty sure the gamers and microsoft themselves changed the policy not sony.

It bullshyt because

1. M$ isn't forcing me to do shyt. I vote with my wallet
2. I didnt give a fukk about the policies because my internet is on 24/7. I live a connected lifestyle

3. The same can be said about Sony. If M$ didn't com in an crush their world during last gen they wouldn't have learned from their mistakes.

1. Nobody forces you to buy anything but if you wanna game on console those are your choices. And they would be forcing you to use Kinect and abide by all their policies if you decided to cop their console.

2. Thats your personal opinion...judging by the outcry on the internet and in the media you're in the small minority

3. M$ crushed Sony's world so bad that PS3 outsold the 360 worldwide this gen starting wit a console that cost $600. next

"You call it motion-controlled gaming, I call it putting a corporate-controlled monitoring device in your living room."

yea especially when the US Navy published an article that said Xbone mandatory internet connect would shyt on thousands of deployed troops cuz they don't have internet where they go

Sony played it smart, they watched M$ build up, and when they seen the reaction, they adjusted to it.

If they had the DRM situation like M$ and they pulled it, that was SMART because what's worse than one company forcing something the masses don't like down their throat? Two companies forcing something the masses don't like down their throats. Sony is doing everything they can to capitalize off M$'s bad press, and it's the smart thing to do. Why not? M$ having to renege and change stuff up just shows the impact Sony and the consumers had. If you can 1-up your console, downplay the other, and put people in your corner at the same time, why the fukk wouldn't you? The witch hunt may not be completely justified, but Sony damn sure did a good job at making people think it was.

However, Sony can't continue waiting on M$ to slip up. I hear more news about the X1 everyday, yet the PS4 still don't have a release date and I don't know of any dope looking launch PS4 games. They need to start pushing their shyt more(which I think they'll do at Gamescom) and stop relying on M$ to give them ammunition.

the navy's gay though

all jokes aside, why would I as a civilian with internet access, want that to stop me from being able to own a device that requires an internet connection?

 

[Smooth3d]

Interesting comments, pretty much what i expected.

if you cool wit basic shyt like being able to play a single-player game offline being taken away then you'd be open to much more. M$ tried to see how far they could take things and what they could take away and it didn't work.

I think more people will be affected by the fact that neither next gen console supports analog video. some people are always gonna get left behind as technology advances
