What's to stop Microsoft & Sony from offering cable à la carte?

So they've aligned themselves with the reigning "worst company"

Not to mention I'd like to see how much the monthly bill would be to use this service

IMO, if they are limited strictly to EA titles, this will pose absolutely zero threat to MS or Sony

Oh wait....I didn't realize:
Comcast IS the worst company in America....

EA didn't even make it out of the first round...

This is the key issue for me:
quote:

Comcast is limited to a portion of the U.S. Electronic Arts' publishes many of the most popular video games, but its catalog is tiny compared to the overall industry.
I rarely buy any of the games EA publishes. Way more developers would need to get on board before I'd even be mildly interested in this and I don't think I'm alone there.

Comcast sucks, I don't think you understand until you have to deal with them.

This x infinity

I actually got a lady one time who was polite, quick, and resovled my issue without hesitation. I was so stunned I actually went out of my way to shower praise on her and explain how bad her company sucks and that I didn't believe she actually worked there

Cable companies entering cloud gaming market + no more net neutrality.

Not good.

Eh, I have used an X1 box before and it is an exercise in frustration. Partial or missed recordings, no way to extend a recording (you must record next show), freezes, etc. There is also no 30 second skip ahead. There is a 5 minute skip forward, 5 minute skip backward and a 15 second skip backward. You can program the 5 min skip ahead to be a 30 sec skip, but then the 5 min back button becomes a 15 sec back button, leaving you with 2 buttons with the same feature.
