Everything has always cost money. I haven't said anything to the contrary. I'm however pointing out that they have their income and because you're over a barrel they'll happily screw you for more. Where are you going to go? You already bought your console and games. Sucker!
Don't forget the relative scales. CPU, bandwidth and storage costs have gone down over time while the market has dramatically increased. One cost down, the other revenue up. So why do they need to charge for Live? They don't, it's a revenue booster.
I'm not blaming MS for doing this, good business for them. I just get annoyed when people feel they have to defend being an ignorant consumer by chastising others for not throwing their wallets away. Running a viable company is one thing, raking in profits at my expense? Well there we'll have to negotiate.
