Guardian.UK Writes: "The news that Games for Windows Live - essentially a PC version of Xbox Live - will now be available for free makes it increasingly difficult for Microsoft to justify charging a subscription to Xbox Live.
I'm a big fan of Xbox Live. Friend lists, achievements, ease of use - Live still towers above the Playstation and Wii online services. But then it should. Live costs around 40 quid a year, Sony and Nintendo's offerings are free. Sure the service is good but how long can Microsoft get away with charging?"
The Microsoft Store has hinted at the upcoming release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam.
Helldivers 2 can take a long time to figure out every mechanic in the game, so Reddit users have shared their most helpful tips.
The main tip that I would tell a new player is: know how and when to pick your fights. Sometimes it's better to avoid a skirmish altogether and focus on the missions. And if you are indeed starting a fight, try to end is as soon as possible and focus on the smallers enemies first, because if you get rid of all those bastards then they won't call for backup and you'll have time to finish the bigger threats

As long as people keep paying for it.
The guy answered his own question "Live still towers above the Playstation and Wii online services" people are willing to pay for quality
Once the competition's services come close to live then MS (like the PC) will most likely make it free or at least reduce the price, not that anyone cant pay a small £40 a year
Poor Xbots
Poor Xbots, SONY is catching up, and there will be no reason to pay to play online for XBL, while it is free on PSN. Poor Xbots, why do you even support M$ that bribes content, exclusives, and to steal exclusives?
Poor Xbots
people will pay money for good service....but MS will prolly have to give more perks to gold members...and when i mean more, i dont mean taking away stuff from silver members... imo it is well worth paying 4 bucks a month for...wii online is a joke... PS3 has better servers (games like resistance and warhawk 30+ no lag), but it is not quite as easy to use, not quite as fast, and not to mention nobody uses a headset.
for me anyway, all my friends have live so that is worth it alone, none have PS3s.
thats how Ms gets there money back from the suckers that buy a 360 - Xbox Live or soon 2 b Xbox Dead
