[02:23] c_smith: Do you own a WII? [02:23] c_smith: The problem is Microsoft, Nintendo and Playstation want to keep their networks and game servers seperate [08:31] Everyone is asleep at 1:31am in here :P [08:31] #OSU-Lug is still rocking :P [08:31] bkerensa: Error: "OSU-Lug" is not a valid command. [16:44] bkerensa, thats not it [16:45] I mean, they do want to keep their servers separate, and why that is a single reason it isn't something that can't be worked around [16:46] The issue is that nobody wants to pay online to play a game such as MW3 (or any FPS) [16:46] WoW gets away with it since it's so immersive [16:47] the games aren't usually hosted on any sort of dedicated server for console gaming. It's usually hosted directly from one of the consoles [16:47] If the game creator wanted to, they could host the server and allow cross platform gaming [16:48] but that costs money [16:49] the other way would be to somehow merge the three services (wii, psn, xbox live) [16:49] or at least allow connectivity between them [16:49] Not sure if that would introduce too much lag though [18:10] yello [18:21] hello c_smith [18:21] * MarkDude is currently pondering how much he does not like Dora the Explora [18:21] * MarkDude is watching niece now [19:14] Oregon bot needs this learned >>> alis volat propriis [19:18] The official English version of the motto is "She Flies With Her Own Wings," [19:25] tgm4883: What???? People dont want to pay to play MW3 online? [19:25] LOL [19:25] MW3 is going to be the best selling game of 2011 and likely 2012.... With DLC and XBL fees were talking hundreds a year just to play it [19:26] * bkerensa pays $59 a year or whatever for XBL and the I will likely get Call of Duty XP which is another $59 for all DLC [20:06] meh, just got back [20:09] if you pay for internet connectivity in console games, I laugh at you, the Wii (and PS3 too, I believe, but not sure on that one) has internet connectivity like XBL FREE!!! [20:09] but you still have to pay for DLC.
