I dunno, ask the journalist that love to stir that shit up all the time.

SegaGamer2030d ago

Exactly this. Just look at the reaction to Sony and crossplay. They won't shut up about it.

Arty842030d ago

Everyone wants to be " on the right side of history"

SegaGamer2030d ago

If game devs and publishers would stop treating their customers like idiots and with contempt, maybe the gamers wouldn't have become so bitter. Things started to go down hill last gen, when games went from being all about fun to being about quick cash grabs with crappy DLC, Microtransactions and broken and/or buggy games at launch. It was only then that I started to see a change in attitude from gamers towards gaming. The reason why a lot of gamers moan about even the smallest of things is because the trust has been broken, and it's something that may now be impossible to fix. If this was the 6th gen era, you wouldn't see fans get so up in arms over small and trivial things, because back then, there was trust and gamers felt they like they knew where they stood and what they were getting.

Gamers vote with their wallets. Overwhelmingly they want microtransactions unfortunately.

TheColbertinator2030d ago

Yes and no. They want MTs for the better quality or popular games. Not every game will succeed regardless of MTs.

SurgicalMenace2030d ago

Companies are only treating customers like they show them they're willing to be treated.

Muzikguy2030d ago

This is so true. Last gen definitely had a downfall in trust between consumer and developer/publisher. The fact that systems were connected online made it easier to fix problems so the term lazy started to get thrown around. With good reason too

SurgicalMenace2030d ago

It would seem that way, people are no longer satisfied with personal enjoyment. If the masses don't also agree with their views they have a reason to speak out. This comes from all the parents, teachers, etc telling these talentless, spoiled, do nothings that their thoughts matter and they're special. Now they are motivated to speak, not even bothering to not be idiots first. We are in a "all about me" society now, so if everyone is about self where can any enjoyment be found?

Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

SpaceRanger1527d ago

Why is Xbox GamePass on this? Not a streaming service.

CaptainCook1527d ago

Xcloud will be included with Xbox Game Pass this year

RazzerRedux1527d ago

And they announced that.....when?

CaptainCook1527d ago (Edited 1526d ago )

@RazzerRedus
Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.

"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

SpaceRanger1526d ago

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.

RazzerRedux1526d ago

@CaptainCook

Thanks. I missed that announcement obviously.

Neither is Uplay or Origin. "Journalism"

2pacalypsenow1527d ago (Edited 1527d ago )

The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.

Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

Exvalos1529d ago

Omfg lmao!!!!! Never a more perfect time to say that

badz1491529d ago

it's not over 9000 though

Father__Merrin1530d ago

these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them

arkard1530d ago (Edited 1530d ago )

Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions

I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.
https://www.ebay.com/help/p...

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though

nucky641530d ago

not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.

nucky641530d ago

so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.

Cyb3r1530d ago

Some websites sell accounts too Im surprised that noting is being done about this

JackBNimble1529d ago

And they're all stolen accounts

1529d ago
JackBNimble1529d ago

Why are they calling this trading accounts, this is plain and simply stealing.
