Which is fine, I don't have any issue with it because like I've said a hundred times, stuff that requires an Gold level membership won't affect me in the slightest because I'll have it.

The only thing I've seen you complain about Live was that you saw no value in it because you had to pay for each individual acct. I'm not sure I've seen you complain about the actual content of Live other than saying Xbox is only giving old games nobody wants - which is simply an opinion on value. You say there is no value in the old games, I say that the old games that I've downloaded over the past 8-10 months have been a blast to play and have more than made up for the $3/month I spend on Live.
Most of those games I already owned and beat. Needless to say, xbox giving you a 3-4 year old game permanently and PSN giving you a 6 month old game that I can play whenever I want as long as I remain a member, I'll take the latter.

My main complaint about live is two things... 1. each person must have a gold account to play online... and 2. all other subscription services and streaming services require Gold to even access.

They fix those two things and I would stop bitching about them.
