Poll Can you handle the TRUTH about the FUTURE OF GAMING and what supporting MS's "vision" means for YOU!? (22 votes)

Yes, I support the death of console gaming and MS's vision. I hate that AAA games and would prefer a service only battle royal online world w no ownership rights. 18%
No I don't support this greedy scheme to remove my ownership of games to fatten the pockets of a company too lazy to create games worth buying 36%
I'm just a corporate Muppet, I'll support and cheerlead for whatever my favorite company tries to promote and make money from! 23%
MS, Sony, or Nintendo whoever tries to go all in on this streaming only will loose my business 23%

Reported to you by long time Xbox enthusiast and xbox focused game channel, MBG!

A POWERFUL heartfelt message from an Xbox fan, speaking only as a fan of console gaming. If you're a console gamer this may be the most powerful message you can hear going into the next generation.

This video is also aimed at addressing slanted information spread by certain users on this board about Sony's opinion of cloud gaming.

After watching this, ask yourself an important question.

Do you support this new "vision" for gaming or not?

If this "vision" is going to be the future of console gaming are you someone who wants to support it or do you stand against the disintegration of console gaming for the monetization and removal of game ownership rights by these companies?

The reality is, if you support any of these non-hardware, disk-free "services" that aim to remove ownership of your games then you are in fact empowering these companies to kill of console gaming.

This is not focused specifically on MS, but they are a huge factor in pushing this no ownership, pay-by-the-minute games future. Personally, don't support ANY company trying to remove my ownership rights and refuse to $upport their services telling them that this is what I want. I would quit gaming before I subscribe to the bastardization of console gaming that I grew up with as stated by MBG.

What's you opinion on a streaming only future for gaming?

Ownership was killed the 1st time you took home a game and had to download a portion of it.... or had to install a day 1 patch... or needed a server to play.

Fight it all you want but physical and digital games are or will be soon... only keys to unlock our games.

wasn't Sony the first one to implement a literal pay-by-the-minute service this generation?

And I'm pretty sure I saw users on this forum parading around the fact that service had garnered the largest share of revenue relative to its competition not too long ago

Serious question? Do people remember that digital gaming was primarily a service and that the concept of ownership of media is actually a very new phenomena in human history from the past 50-60 years.

I think you need another break lol. PSNow exists for a reason man, it's lucrative. Now we have Game Pass and Origin Premier... Just wait for Ubi to jump on board, or Activision after they recover from their whole layoff debacle.

Also, not sure if I was referenced in the OP, as I did post the initial thread about Sony admitting the threat of "cloud gaming" to traditional consoles. If so, haha.

As long as they provide a console that supports physical formats for games then I’ll continue to buy their products. As soon as they don’t I’ll look for someone else who does. If no one does then I’ll go with whomever provides a service that appeals to me the most.

Your = possessive. It belongs to somebody.

You're = contraction of "You" and "Are."

That being said, way to snip the rest of my post, which semi-addressed your disaster of a thread lol.

There is not disaster buddy. A bunch of angry and defensive corporate slaves doesn't do anything to weaken my post.

Sorry, what kind of narrative would you like to spin?

I already made my point in the post that you selectively snipped :)

It's the direction of the market, and the market is onboard. Personally, i'm not a huge fan of the monthly fees to access products, but i've done pretty well with Origin Premier.

@boxrekt: That might make sense... If I ascribed to a single company's mantra. You seem to be unable to actually formulate a decent rebuttal. I only buy physical on consoles, and do not subscribe to PS+ or Now. I have Origin Premier, and only have Game Pass cos my man @mandzilla gifted me a 12-month subscription. It's like you don't try... I say like you aren't trying, but the opposite seems to be true.

You're the one who sounds butthurt here. I'm literally looking at your first post so yeah.

There's no lesson to learn from angry fanboys flame bombing posts because they aren't capable doing anything else. Just be mad I guess.

@lundy86_4: It's not my fault you were lashing out at me instead of discussing the actual content of the thread.

You probably didn't even watch the video because your rebuttal doesn't address the main point brought up in the video so you're actually the one who's unable to form a logical rebuttal.

@boxrekt: I specifically addressed the content of the thread. You're trying to use the same tactic you usually do, by deflecting someone's point. Kinda sad, my man. Read my initial post. BTW, i'm glad my "your/you're" lesson aided you. Tell me, did you reference my post? C'mon, be honest...

You need to read my post and watch the video because you're confused about what's being said.

@lundy86_4: Again, you didn't address the point brought up in the video!

Either on purpose or because you didn't watch it. Not my fault if you're using arguments that don't address the points being made.

Deflecting to PS Now shows you failed to watch the video which addresses that argument.

I'm not entirely sure, as TC is on a well-deserved break, but this line may refer to me... It's a thread I made. If true, I take pride in the fact that I caused this hilarity.

@boxrekt

This video is also aimed at addressing slanted information spread by certain users on this board about Sony's opinion of cloud gaming.

Any company that goes all-in on streaming and makes that the only way to play games will lose me as a customer. Period.
