Online gaming was trash on consoles before Microsoft. People willingly paid because the service was worth it. The money they made let them invest in the cloud to further improve online experiences. Sony and Nintendo HAD to charge in order to improve their services and offer the features people wanted.
That has nothing to do with MicrosoftIn the 360 era you were paying 15$ for 4 maps in cod lmao

people paid because they had no choice lol
when xbox live came out they didnt use that money to provide dedicated servers for unreal championship , halo2 , rainbow 6... they definitly didnt need xbox profits for cloud services.. anyone in the IT field would tell you that.

Nobody is forced to spend money. People spend money on what they think is worth it. If people wanted free online play they had plenty of other options.people paid because they had no choice lol

Why? Because nobody has them pockets like they do.

You make it sound like xbox live was the holy grail when in fact the experience isnt that much different then playstation or pc..
when they tried to charge them for the service. Instead you just accepted it as a cost that really didnt benefit you or gamers in general only microsoft.. and soon other developers realized they could get away charging away dlc one modder could make in a day for 15-20$
Said nothing about a holy grail. And the experience was vastly different from PlayStation and PC.You make it sound like xbox live was the holy grail when in fact the experience isnt that much different then playstation or pc..
When microsoft annouced that xbox live would cost 50$ you could of been like the pc gamers and hit them with the
