In Response To: Re: Wasn't the benefit of Halo being Xbox-exclusiv (NotTheVacuum)

: "Far higher" falls a little flat; I've seen a few new releases that
: were $60 on Xbox and $50 on PC, but a lot of popular titles are evenly
: priced.

Prices tend to fall off pretty well on PC, and a lot of the popular games are free-to-play.

: Also, do all PC games with multiplayer offer that feature at no
: extra cost and on free-to-play servers? I truthfully do not know... but I
: bet in both cases you have the option NOT to pay and play offline.

Well, subscription-based games existed for a while, but they've been dying off and being replaced by free-to-play stuff. The standard has always been no charge for online MP, though. Sometimes that means that you get free access to official servers, sometimes that means community members are able to host servers, sometimes you're stuck with just peer-to-peer gameplay on a custom games browser. In my experience, even the last model can usually offer better results than typical XBL MM, despite being free.
