"There was once a time when I would argue until I was blue in the face over the merits of an Xbox LIVE Gold Subscription. It was a service that offered community type services and multiplayer protocols that were, for the most part, rock solid and gave the subscriber a real feeling of worth. What with voice chat, drop in-drop out gaming with friends, achievements, a thriving marketplace for demos and small downloadable games and a real sense of community, Xbox LIVE (XBL) seemed like a matter of pride. Plunking down your yearly fee seemed trifle in comparison to all that it had offered; but that was only because no one else was doing it quite as well."
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.
Save the quarters and blast everything to oblivion at home!
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
not even close. no free games, charges too much, downloads are very slow on my end compared to PSN.
i think people pay for it out of habit so they dont mind
I have a ps3, wii and Xbox and Xbox live is definite the best online service. The wii offers little interaction with other players for security purposes and pen is always down for maintenance and when it is up nobody uses mics so I may as well be on wii again. Xbl is the only service with an active community.
But people loyal to other console just don't understand what they are missing because they never had it.
Paying for p2p servers where it's free everywhere else...of course it's not worth it. I got rid of my Xbox years ago I can't deal with MS with the way they do things. Recycle the same franchises over and over, they worry more about marketing big multiplatform games as there's and securing DLC for the 1st month than making new games, charge to play online. Party chat is cool but it's free on the Vita and will be free when the PS4 arrives. PS4 and Wii U for me. Skipping the next-xbox
It is worth it, I payed $35 (maybe $40, forgot) for Live and I love it.
The easy UI, the features and all around great times I have had with it made this 360 all so worth it.
Edit:
*looks at comments*
Uh oh...FLAME ON!
Not sure what this article is saying, XBL has always been worth the coin. Plus with F2P games announced for XBL, XBL is only getting better from the already great service that it is.
Only fanboys troll about a service they don't use or no nothing about.
