even with the amount of money MS makes with the live fees you assume that it should only be allocated to the xbox division , but the money goes to spread out throughout the company where funding is needed.
MS is not making immense enough profit to even consider making XBL dedicated servers for tens of millions of people

We will just have to agree to disagree on some of this. I don't think that MS's live fees should all go to dedicated servers, by any means. XBL does a lot with what you get for the money you pay in fees.
Like I said most of the time the publisher uses their servers.
I do think that microsoft should not charge a game publisher a fee to run their own dedicated servers.
That is how it works right now. There are lots of publishers that want to use dedicated servers for their games,but MS makes them pay extra to use dedicated servers and they make it a huge hassle. Thats my main gripe with MS.
I appreciate your debate Guiltyspark, and I appreciate your ability to debate with out getting nasty. Since I have been here on these forums , you have always made posts that I have enjoyed and dispite our disagreement on this topic you have my respect. Thanks for taking the time to voice you opinion with me.
