PC gamers were smart enough to not pay for it. Wish I could say the same about console gamers. Click to expand...

Keep your evil claws away from pc gaming MS, you tried to AOL online gaming with GFWL and got spat out, we won't forget.Not so much smart as it's an open platform so they can't force you to pay for this garbagewhat does this mean? people who aren't forced don't have to rationalise it, they don't have to go through the stages and end up with acceptancethat's why I cringe every time I see people switch to windows 8 for a few fps in battlefieldwin8 is the first probe in making an apple like walled garden out of windows, it starts with the UI (putting their own crap on your desktop) and the metro store (app store) requiring ms to approve applications before they can run on itagain consumers spat out the app store but they won't stop tryingThe idea was to get people to move to their metro front and store and eventually phase the desktop and 'unsigned' applications outIt'll come slowly and gradually, but if the pc community allows each tiny probe and step then in 5-10 years we'll be looking at a walled garden OSLook at how gradual dlc and microtransactions have happened or how MS managed to get millions of people to resign to paying to play the map packs they already bought in the games they already bought on the consoles they already bought , online.Keep the platform open, at all costs and don't trust and do not enable MS to fuck up the platform.
