Microsoft....the traitor...in the aftermath of e3

Notice: most if not all grammatical errors are made on purpose im speakin to u guys like a family #dontjudge..lol

Let me begin by saying..I love my xbox, it has been a rocky relationship, but i love it. Initially, around the launch time of the first xbOx i was skeptical, i felt like bill gates was out to commercialize gamin and turn it into another way to stuff thousand dollar bills into his coffers. If you read the magazines @ the time though, you saw how much attention MS was paying to the core gamer..everything from the implementation of a hard drive to the controller design (and inevitable re-design) were all features that were suggested by gamers themselves.

Even the approach to gaming and the type of games that would be on this behemoth of a machine were dictated by the core. MS showed me that they were there new SEGA.. bold brave.. and they had an ear to the street that the compulsively aloof Sony and the kiddie pandering nintendo couldnt come close to.. they hooked me.. i bought one.

In that sea of innovation that was x box they introduced a ethernet only online gaming service we all know and love called XBOX LIVE. Another gamer suggestion that most thought was too good to be true, to expensive to mass produce, or flat out not possible. Time passed and MS was rewarded for their forward thinking by the core and earned themselves a spot at the table alongside the big N and sony respectively.

Fast forward to 2011..MS has all but abandoned us and are showing their evil corporation side. Gone are the hopes and wishes of the people. MS is that evil dictator who seemed like a good man onmly to gain the trust of the people, and when he does? He throws them into worker camps. First all of their good IPS that they coulda held on to they let go multi plat..@ this rate im surprised gears is still theirs. they have for the lat 3 yrs been declining in original IPS and exclusives..and instead are more focused on turnin the once promising xbox brand into some kinda end all be all entertainment device that cooks ur breakfast, takes out movies, downloads music,and a plethora of other useless sh*t we have a gazillion other devices for.

This may work in other fields of entertainment.. but not here. Geeks may not be the most socially capable group (although i do quite well..lol) but we have principles! The same principle that will make us stand in line for days for the newest hardware, is the same principle that will make us flat out ignore your machines if your interest do not match ours..and our interest is gaming Microsoft.. do you hear us?

Perhaps Ms should look no further than recent history for a better perspective..Look @ what the geeks did to psn... they didnt do that outta blind rage or fanboyism it was the priciples! Once Sony got too big for their britches and started sayin they were gonna brick ps3's if you fiddle with their junk.. the geeks came out in force! you dont do that.. we put you here.. we can take you down. An even better example is the situation @ nintendo, yea yea.. the wii was underpowered commercial based crap, but why did nintendo have to sell out? Cuz we turned our backs on em. They ignored the core so long that we were basically through with them and nintendo was close to becoming the next sega so in response they sold out so that they can build up some moola and remain some kinda player in the game. Now they seem to be gettin the message and giving us.. the core.. what we want. They wouldnt have learned this lesson if we hadn't brought them so close to death. Perhaps it is Ms turn to feel some nerd rage..till next time playas.. GAME ON!!! -v!!!

Feels off ive seen a ton of younger kids get more into traditional gaming through the switch.

Mario and even sonic are still huge franchises that kids want to get all the merchandise for and I think more traditional gaming will stay safe.

" game subscriptions as standard" LOL. They like throwing their money away only to complain once a game they play all the time gets removed. They need to be taught on how to torrent, Usenet would probably be too much involved for them.

Review - System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remastered (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "System Shock 2 is an all-time great, easily one of the most important games of all time, and Nightdive’s 25th Anniversary Remaster edition makes it a touch more accessible without ever gutting its core, or anything that made it so cherished in the first place. The excellent core gameplay and stellar level design come together for an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, the fact it works shockingly well on a controller is already something worthy of a medal of honor for the studio. Now, while we’re at it, where’s that System Shock 3 we were promised all those years ago? I’m hungry for more!"
