After reading the reddit comments on this subject on Friday I'm fairly certain in my assessment that gamers are some of the most entitled asshat customers you can have. I get the "M$ is bad" circlejerk to an extent, but look at who they're working with here. Give gamers something for free, albiet small, and they'll still complain...

Because asking for more than a quarter a year is making us SUCH asshats!!

Sorry if I implied I was referring to anyone in particular on ScoreHero, because I wasn't. I just think it's funny how gamers in general complain about everything, even when it's free.
My point is, before this rewards system, we were perfectly content to increase gamerscore because it's fun. So when they add a small reward for doing so, fuck them because we wanted more! What? We didn't want anything or know we wanted anything for our gamerscore until this extra bonus was even mentioned, so why are people acting like they are entitled to more? I just don't get it.
Like I said, 25 cents a year isn't a great INCENTIVE for increasing gamerscore, so if the intent was to incentivize playing a lot of games for higher gamerscore in that respect they failed. But, it is a little strange to see so much crying over this on the internet in general. _________________

I think that you're mistaking people mocking Microsoft for people being angry at them. I wasn't asking for more or being angry at them for creating it in the first place- I was pointing out how immaterial and pointless the system was. Why spend the money to create and market something that ultimately has just shy of a net zero effect for those that enter it? The whole thing reeks of somebody important needing to justify a paycheck.
Also, saying "sorry if I implied I was referring to anyone in particular on ScoreHero" would hold more weight if you hadn't quoted and then directly replied to several people that were using specific examples of what you spent several paragraphs deriding. It's akin to somebody saying, "You're a great person, and I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but..." Using that kind of qualifier doesn't give you carte blanche to say whatever you want after it. _________________
