A huge argument about Xbox ports on Windows needing Xbox Live.

And MOTHERloving HOLOGRAMS.

It's by definition nothing remotely close to holograms though

See my edit.

Once again, you're being blind.

I've justified in every single one of my posts why Microsoft won't make PC cross-play a subscription-based model. There is no "fair" or "unfair"; looking at the facts, Microsoft will not be able to successfully sell Xbox Live Gold on the PC so they won't even bother.

Microsoft needs people to update to Windows 10. They're going to do it by giving gamers reasons why Windows 10 is a good gaming OS; keeping multiplayer free is a good start. Otherwise, why would they promote PC? People could use the PC to figure out how Xbox Live auth works, and crack it. If they wanted us to pay, they'd convince to purchase an Xbox One.

And I said that was a fair point. How many times should we repeat this?

No, I thought that Xbox Live games played using the Xbox app would need gold to play multiplayer.

McJob explained why that would be a stuffty decision on Microsoft's part.

It will likely be tied to your Microsoft account.

If that's how authentication is going to work from now on, then I'm okay with that.
