Lol this forum is filled with rich dudes. 700 dollars ain't shit to them.
Eh it's not really about price, it's just that the X doesn't really offer any additional performance benefits. He could've bought the base model or a slim and still had the basic experience.
I just find it weird that he bought the high end version of the console for a F2P game without grabbing any additional titles that would see performance benefits.
You literally said that the simple act of someone buying an Xbox is 'ridiculous'. There's one ludicrous thing in this thread.
Buying an Xbox is fine. Buying the premium one in protest for an F2P game when he already owns a switch seems ridiculous to me.
How IS it ludicrous? Company treats you poorly, another company sells a product that is nearly identical and doesn't treat you poorly, if you can afford it why not switch? If you can't, don't do it, obviously.
Ludicrous is choosing to throw your hat in and accept whatever they do to anyone simply because you decided to attach yourself to a brand for some reason.
I agree, attaching oneself to a corporate brand and fighting for it is also ludicrous.
I personally think that Sony's behaviour in this matter although understandable from a business perspective is very anti consumer and not particularly defensible.
I was under the impression that the Twitter user already owned a Switch, did not own a PlayStation, and had purchased an Xbox One X.
He's not switching from PS to Xbox. He bought a supplementary piece of hardware which was unnecessary. His actions in no way negatively effect Sony and as such will not create change.
