A brief rant about the Xbox's new money system

I know what you're thinking, "You chose now to bring it up?" Though I did, it cannot be avoided any longer. I have to bring up a few problems with the Fall 2013 money system for Xbox Live. First off, Whenever I buy ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, I get charged extra for it. Yes, that's right. That "1" you see at the side? It's a tax symbol. Even a [u]microtransaction[/u] requires it! It's like this guy's all, "Hey, I'm gonna buy something cheap off of Xbox Live!" but Microsoft's like, "Oh, no you're not! You gotta pay extra first!" Whatever happened to paying the exact amount of Microsoft currency for the DLC you wanted? And whenever you [i]do[/i] buy anything, it charges your credit card. Don't drag my goddamn credit card into this, Microsoft! Whatever happened to just paying for something on Xbox Live and that being the end of it? Do you really need to use your credit card to complete the transaction? The question is, What happened to the simpler Xbox currency that we were all content with? Honestly, Microsoft, what was going through your head? Did you guys feel like the only people who should be buying DLC are older people, and not the young people? Or was this the final command of Adam Orth or Don Mattrick before they left Microsoft? Man, people say the Xbox One reveal was the worst thing that Microsoft did, but, wow. This new money system puts it to shame, IMHO.

  • If you don't like it, leave the system. It's as simple as that. With the next generation rolling around now, it's the perfect time to leave.
