I recently bought a used Xbox One for my kids who want to play Overwatch and Minecraft. Now we currently have a Wii U system and they can play Minecraft online without anything other than our internet connection. We just recently bought the Minecraft game for the Xbox One and it tells us to use it online we must pay for XBOX Live Gold, why? The console is already hooked up to my internet connection so it's almost like XBOX wants to charge me to use my own internet connection. What type of software is in an XBOX One and why isn't my local internet connection good enough to play through with online gaming by itself? I feel like I'm being scammed. I don't need any of the other Gold benefits just want kids to be able to play online with other players through games like Minecraft and Overwatch. If I bought the PC Overwatch edition I wouldn't have to buy an extra paid subscription so why does XBOX make you do it?
