This is exactly what you should expect from a free service. What where they thinking? The console cost at least $300. The games are $60, users would not mind paying the $50 a year to have a secure network. This is the direct result of "free" service. You get what you pay for....

Does this even need to be said. These are businesses and someone you know or are kin to may work for them. People have to feed their families too. Everything can't be about what's free, or freedom to change my product. As I too disagree with prprietary system lockdowns, I understand the need to protect your product against those that can become competitors. It's like giving the other team y our playbook and expecting them not to look at it.
