We can just make a new Internet
Buckbeak1486
Huh... Maybe we should allow Net Nutrality to be taken away...

Mind you, that's after the $65 per month basic rate.

And people will still be defending it. "This is so much better than everywhere else in the world though. God we're so perfect here."
BortymcBortfeis
Same as with EA. No matter how much you complain, it's the money that is talking. Pay, and your message is "I accept this"

Most online multiplayer games are way overrated anyway. The best games are single player.

So are we winning the fight?
Mayhempenguin
why do we fight, we are all gamers here
eroso
People want to feel better about themselves. Putting others down helps doing it. Shallow fuckers we are

All of the Internet-dependent businesses have to join the fight or watch their online business evaporate.

Because your taste in games is shit
Mayhempenguin
what games exactly are shit?
Sordiy
We fight to be the best
tzxAzrael
y'all realize this is wrong, right? graphics etc is all on the players' end, and most online games only use a trickle of internet speed.
LahmiaVampiress
Just the idea and intent behind this is sickening. Im ashamed to live in America more than I was before.

We are talking about rules that started in 2015. Was 2014 bad and I missed something?
Icommentandpostmypets
Yes and no, its been an ongoing fight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_in_the_United_States#Timeline_of_significant_events
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
Just because they haven't doesn't mean they wont. Eventually the same routine will get old and they'll have to find new "innovating" ways to
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
Maximize profits.
Dicksrichard
I was kind of wondering the same thing, I don't remember any issues. That said, I'm all for telling the cable companies to fuck off
dans66
I'm more worried about the feds running shit that a company. I can leave a company and go to something better. Feds own our ass
trubblebot
Actually, a huge number of people in this country only have one option for high-speed internet access, myself included.
Icommentandpostmypets
You know this will affect consoles, too right? Consoles don't just magically get internet access.
Whatismypurpose
I don't see anywhere where @OP mentioned consoles becoming better than pcs..
Sm9yCg
They will get easy-to-purchase (not 1-click, as that is patented in the US by Amazon) internet access packages for only $$ per month.
Mezinov
Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft would also have the buying power to make their "game subscriptions" "fast lane" on "cheap net".
Vezwyx
Exactly
SuperSupply
But everyone will be peasants though, there’s no more or less of a peasant. So, join us, join us you peasants

Right, but it still brings the master race down with it. I'm not ready for it ;__;

You dont deserve 40+ downvotes. I got your upvote.

You can take half of his.
INeedAboutTreeFitty
Trying to guess the deleted comment, did someone say they would be okay with net neutrality dying if it killed pc master race?
woogigooie
alright
Defure
Ok, what the fuck was said here?
Edutittam
That's weird.
UlfhednarSkol
What did he say?

youllneverguessmyusername
Yes, but consoles already pay for it. The price will just go up bc of "service charges".
ThatGuyWhoRepliedToYourComment
What?
Peregrine2976
Your total misunderstanding of how internet works would be hilarious if it weren’t so very, very sad.
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
Consoles don't pay for it. What your paying for console now is services like exclusive games, servers, updates and patches, proper customer
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
Support etc etc. If they would than have to pay for network fast lanes the price your paying now like $50 a year for PSN would have to go up
Rifneno
MrPredator
Edutittam
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what consoles are paying for.
Edutittam
They pay for access to servers. Then they will have to pay an ISP for access to pay for those servers.
ImmaHacker
Are you Icelandic, or retarded? Someone doesn't understand how to Internet...
Chopsworth
... ... I'm stealing that.
ShiraZen
It's been proven that the "server fees" and costs ti maintain servers are so small in comparison to how many people pay, is basically 1/2
ShiraZen
You giving them money for no reason. It does nothing but fill the higher ups pockets.
youllneverguessmyusername
Do pc gamers have to pay for xbox live or psn? I truly dont know. That was my point.
undead4life
...no, plus we don't have to listen to all the kids in the in-game chat. Instead we have emotionally stunted teens and adults.
EClaire1073
Unless we're playing CSGO.
undead4life
True, but just for a moment, think of how much worse it'd be if CS:GO was on consoles... *shudder*
EClaire1073
No, we don't. That's just one of the many reasons why PC gaming is better than console gaming.
shinylukario1
No
stormegedendarklordofall
I don't think so, but to get the required speeds would cost too much
HodorFirstOfHisName
No one is gonna pay $65 extra to play games. The market will self-correct. If you don't like the product or the price, don't buy it
TargaryenLoyalist
So the solution is to not get internet at all?
HodorFirstOfHisName
Yes
TargaryenLoyalist
I guess tossing out simple solutions is pretty easy if you don't care if they're actually feasible or not.
HodorFirstOfHisName
You can't live without internet?
OlympicLlama
My job, college, and most of my communication is done through the internet. Get off your high horse and realize that it's not that simple
TargaryenLoyalist
This isn’t 1998, and I’m not just talking about leisure time. The internet is a work tool, in case you forgot. Everything is online.
Kjasi
If NN is revoked, and this DOES come true, I'm gonna focus on creating great offline games for everyone.
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
The appeal to online gaming is the social aspect and knowing that you're competing with real live people. You're going to have to create a
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
Game that still gives people that social experience while simultaneously playing by themselves. We're just going to have to go back to
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
Inviting friends over to couch co-op.
Alanfredwardgrant
Does this affect Canada?
TheNoirAntagonist
Also any Americans would be laggy as hell and any server you joined would probably crash every 5 minutes because host or team halted access
Muffyns
i feel since canada copies a good chunk of the states that if it passes in the states a bill will be made and passed in canada shortly after
Sourceisalie
Honestly most gaming servers will be sifted outside of the USA so we may get increased ping....
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
It could. If ISP's throttle your gaming and bully steam into coughing up money to out steam in the fast lane steam would have to come up
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
With a service similiar to PSN and XLive to pay for it. And while they're at it they might aswell sell this service to all countries to
HumanBeingOfPlanetEarth
Maximize profits.
Burfoot
I could see a die off of American online gaming due to costs, which would see less AAA multiplayer games being developed for current audienc
tzxAzrael
it does not. canada has already committed to keeping Net Neutrality intact... at least as far as canadian ISP's go that is.. can't really
tzxAzrael
help what US isp's decide to do, but it will only affect us indirectly.
TheNoirAntagonist
Not to mention any company you order things from or service you use that can't afford the overhead (Netflix crunchyroll) would freeze up1/2
TheNoirAntagonist
At a higher rate because the isps would want their content more accessible and not something they already struggle to service.2/2/3
TheNoirAntagonist
Not to mention that they could charge anything they want to install lines to an out of the way area and even if a new business started 3/4
TheNoirAntagonist
In this day if they can't support a Web site or socialize their content over the Internet they are doomed to die imagine if the next 4/5
TheNoirAntagonist
Tesla/apple/google/Microsoft couldn't make and sell their product because the isp literally strangled the money out of them 5/5
exlurker42
I never liked MMO's or having to download everything anyway so there's one part dodged.

U actually right, forgot already how is it. Just playing stuff by myself and I have countless hours spent in some titles not many ppl remem
