[QUOTE="geodeath, post: 8794692, member: 52338"] Well, as a full stack web developer, i can actually agree on the face of the need of 'some' server(s) for the functionality you mention, however, do keep in mind that the number of servers required for this and the amount of work required for this is nothing, not even 1% in comparison to what kind of work it is to offer a 'proper' server-full service. Yes, somebody coded the server infrastructure, for sure and it runs somewhere on some cloud. But, this is still, not directly related to monthly ongoing costs. For all you know, the whole service/library could have been written over the course of a couple of months with a small but highly skilled dev team. Put that in a cloud service and it does not cost as much as you think. This is why people bitch about it. Cause all of the other services offer real ongoing monthly services that need a big amount of money to keep going. In essence, paying for Xbox Live or PSN pays for the servers, instead of having the companies decided their online path and having an experience that is not as 'smooth' or similar across titles and with a single sign-on. What Nintendo did is almost nothing in comparison. Matchmaking and group chat are services that you can get for free on so many platforms, which highlights how easy and cheap you can make then/run them. [/QUOTE]
