What a fucking stupid thread. And comparing it to horse armor DLC makes it even worse.

Bloody autocorrect “ Atmos” !!!!I'm not a scientist but how I understand it (from copying and pasting off of a random google link) is:
"Atoms are small. Really, really small. You’ll probably have heard that matter is made of bundles of these tiny things. You’ll likely also know that you can’t see them with the naked eye. We are told to take on trust the idea that atoms are there, interacting with each other and being building blocks for our world. For most people, though, that’s not good enough. Science prides itself on the way it uses real observations to work out the mysteries of the universe – so how did we come to conclude that atoms exist, and what have we learned about these tiny structures?
It might seem as if there’s a simple way to prove atoms exist: put them under the microscope. But this approach won’t work. In fact, even the most powerful light-focusing microscopes can’t visualise single atoms. What makes an object visible is the way it deflects visible light waves. Atoms are so much smaller than the wavelength of visible light that the two don’t really interact. To put it another way, atoms are invisible to light itself. However, atoms do have observable effects on some of the things we can see.
Hundreds of years ago in 1785 Dutch scientist Jan Ingenhousz was studying a strange phenomenon that he couldn’t quite make sense of. Minute particles of coal dust were darting about on the surface of some alcohol in his lab.
About 50 years later, in 1827, the Scottish botanist Robert Brown described something curiously similar. He had his microscope trained on some pollen grains. Brown noticed that some of the grains released tiny particles – which would then move away from the pollen grain in a random jittery dance.
At first, Brown wondered if the particles were really some sort of unknown organism. He repeated the experiment with other substances like rock dust, which he knew wasn’t alive, and saw the same strange motion again.
It would take almost another century for science to offer an explanation. Einstein came along and developed a mathematical formula that would predict this very particular type of movement – by then called Brownian motion, after Robert Brown. Einstein’s theory was that that the particles from the pollen grains were being moved around because they were constantly crashing into millions of tinier molecules of water – molecules that were made of atoms."
They're also a currency in Fallout 76 where you pay real money for in-game items. In either case, Todd Howard has the answer for you: It just works.
So MS can't afford $15 per headset.
But now Dolby gets 15 USD to from everyone who purchases that license. Why would they sign a deal to only get $.50 to 2.00 from anyone who got the headset?You really think MS is going to have to pay 15 a pop? Most likely they have a volume and wholesale discount. It would probably be $.50 to 2.00 a pop, or some other "partnership" deal. Shit ms could probably buy dolby with their so called "pocket change" and offer it for free as incentive. Companies never pay what they dish out to customers.
What business model? Who else has the business model where they give Dolby Atmos for free on 100 USD headphones?It makes since why Microsoft has its current business model.
All the three console manufacturers provide MTX on online games. Infact Forza Motorsport 7/Horizon 4 do not have MTX even though they are mostly online. Once again who actually give Dolby Atmos for free on 100 USD headphones.Their fans are so stupid, they can justify anything. Microtranscations in first party games, ads in your gui, hardware that requires AA batteries in 2021, now make customers pay for codecs.
What about fans who are always triggered over others and for not having the same opinion, and consider everyone around them a fanboy.You have to have some real cuck enegey to be a Microsoft fan.
You don't have to, Windows Sonic is free. Dolby Atmos comes with 15 USD license for 10 devices.Imagine paying for this shit.
Stop being consoomers and do whatever companies tell you to do.
I'm sure you know why it's a bad analogy but I will elaborate anyways. The product MS is selling is headphones. One of the features that they advertise for use of the headphones is Dolby Atmos, which you requires you to make an additional purchase later.
Sony, on the other hand, the product they are selling is a game called demon's souls. Depending on which version you buy, it comes with a physical disc at no additional cost.

Your calling millions of people stupid for buying xbox?
Just because they have the option to buy atmos. People here have been banned for less.
I guess Sony couldn't afford it either, not even the base Atmos license for surround.
Imagine paying for this shit.
Stop being consoomers and do whatever companies tell you to do.
How well does it work with tv speakers and surround sound systems?Who needs that inferior tech when you got...
Microsoft’s support of Dolby Atmos has been atrocious. It’s never going to pick off until Microsoft foots the bill and really pushes developers to support it.
How many consumers are running Windows Server to play games and movies? if they are then they have made a conscious decision to pay core licensing for pretty much everything they install. This is what they signed up for.You guys think this is bad, you have to pay per CPU core for a windows server license now
You got a more powerful box as an investment? Better make sure you can pay the recurring fee for how many cores your CPU(s) have
EDIT: Not to mention gating how many VMs you can have with those licenses too, and having to get additional recurring licenses for the shit based on cores as well
It is. Only you are not.Everything will be okay.
But that’s not the bullet point that we can use as fanatics when comparing plastic idol specs!!!*

I'm fine, I'm not the one crying over a thread because my misguided feelings are hurt for my favorite brand, all while pretending there is some gamer persecution complex and only Xbox ever gets criticism on the internet or these very boards.It is. Only you are not.
Office equipment rental already gets charged per color or b&w impressions from companies like Xerox and Toshiba, and they check on and bill you remotely. Like reading an electrical meter.
Thankfully Sony never went down the DLC path and protected everyone from it. Oh wait....This is more on Dolby from the initial, but MS does share the vehicle for it, as they did allow horse armor to be the starting point behemoth of DLC practices we have today.
Arrogant Sony!Thankfully Sony never went down the DLC path and protected everyone from it. Oh wait....
So your point is never buy anything? Real smart.Imagine paying for this shit.

I'm sitting next to a PS3 I used extensively for BR playback for years.. curious what you are even talking about here.Fun fact: the PS3 had system settings for activating optional decoders. Consumers had the possibility to opt in, at no extra charge. Sony would pay the licensing fees, per activation.

So what's exactly the issue here? Something that's been there since xbox one days, but now it's used as a console war weapon because there's nothing else to spread FUD?
Exactly. I paid 1.79$ for my windows license. What home user is using Windows server?How many consumers are running Windows Server to play games and movies? if they are then they have made a conscious decision to pay core licensing for pretty much everything they install.

Intel used to do it too!This true? Selling a spec feature as DLC now?
Microsoft, setting bad trends since the "pay to play online..."
Did you hear? MS is all about TV TV TV TV TV TV with the Xbox!!!!
I should ask a mod if they can add, 'danger, hurt feelings, persecution'
What money does MS make from this?Microsoft, setting bad trends since the "pay to play online..."
The fee comes from Dolby, not MS. But nice try trolling with complaining about Xbox Live from 2004.
