I really, really want to express my sincere gratitude to you guys. You stood up to Apollo Creed and hopefully MS doesn't want a rematch. You guys are my Adrian after getting the shit beat out of me this last generation from greedy publishers and the prospects of the initial Xbox One's DRM policy and the rumored Sony one that never came to pass. From a dude that makes $25K/year and lives paycheck to paycheck and loves this hobby, gaming is the only real escape I have from the real world/borderline poverty I live in.
I work my ass off to buy the games I buy. I own all the consoles from this generation and will hopefully buy all from the next. I spent two years paying off the purchase of gaming PC. I spent like three years paying off the purchase of an HDTV at the start of this generation. I love gaming, but I'm not made of money. I have bills, car payments and other expenses. I'm not even sure I can afford jumping in day one or year one with this gen like I was when I was younger. This year I had a same-day surgery and got hit with a $1,500 bill for the surgery, a $250 bill for the anesthesiologist, a $100 bill for just showing up to the hospital and a $12 bill I got for just saying hello to the receptionist with insurance. That's coupled with the $500 in federal taxes I paid this year despite making jackshit salary-wise.
But you guys have actually made me sleep more soundly knowing that I will still be able to enjoy the hobby that I love. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
