RancidWannaRiot, try to understand Athanas before responding to it . . . the failure of many pofoites is their will towards not understanding others.
How in the world does your response address Athanas' comment? What is the point of responding to it if you will not even understand it?
Athanas had mentioned on how Microsoft IS forcing others to purchase its games in response to Goranhammer's 'it is not forcing others to purchase its games' and so my question is how does 'so does Sony and Nintendo' or 'that's business practices' work against Athanas or even build upon it?
Honestly RancidWannaRiot, I was ashamed to read this from you.
You should maybe have justified how that was not 'forcing people' although very clearly the argument is that for those who would want to purchase from Bungie they were forced to purchase macroscopically from Microsoft; I would say that this is 'forceful,' no? Why not?
** To wit, my family has a loyalty (or had) towards Final Fantasy and in order to play a FF game they will need to purchase a playstation, just as if they would want to play a MGS, or they would need a Wii for the latest Zelda or Smash brothers yadda yadda. The point is that there is some merit to being 'forced' to purchase something because of their monopolistic tactics. Yes, one can say that others have the same practices but again, one cannot argue that it is not monopolistic tactics. Right?
