Re: Disappointed as well

In Response To: Disappointed as well (serpx)

: It's just so nice, less junk (CDs, books, etc.) in my room,
: and I really think it is the future.

Yeah, except it wasn't. It was hugely wasteful to still deliver everything on discs but then make the discs worthless.

You can still get games on demand bro. That's not going away and will even be a bigger thing. Stamping other people in the face just wasn't cool

: I also thought it was exciting for
: developers to know that everyone of their customers had an internet
: connection.

But many games DO NOT NEED online connections. And what they instituted wasn't an always-on connection, it was once every 24 hours. You can't guarantee anything with that.

If a dev wants to institute always-on or mandatory connection, they can still do that for their game. They can still pull numbers of XBL silver/gold members to know their potential userbase. System wide was just dumb as it purposelessly exclude other market segments.
