Good old Europe.

Fighting MS's tyranny

M$ has never allowed people to own multiplayer games. They have taken it a step further this time after seeing how dumb lems are.

A well written article. Thanks for posting.

Lol, the net rage and nerd-anger going around over MS and their polices is epic. But they are standing side by side with the publishers in having arranged this. Having reread their statement6 yesterday 3 times I am still failing to be angry or shocked, and laughing at the sheer stupidity of a ton of the internet forum posts, while wishing the more intelligent ones did their research better on certain topics. The times they are changing, and to blame MS for this fully is laughable, but I guess someone needs to be the villan.

Just wait till Monday night when the vast majority of Sony's third party support all institute DRM on their disks, placing Sony in a pretty similar boat to MS. Its not a wish of mine, its a fact.

The problem with M$ plans is you get nothing in return, its a straight up completely 100% disadvantages the customer. If the at least gave some amazing benefits we could be like "ok that sucks but OMG THIS THING I WILL GET IN RETURN SOOOO MAKES IT WORTH IT" But get ready for all those nickle and dime DLC plans as well as a Hike of $10 for new games along with this.And the implications for the wider entertainment industry are staggering if M$ pulls this off get ready for music, movies , digital books implementing similar procedures.

lol at the whiney comments.  This is what many people here, including myself, have been hesitent about supporting Microsoft.  They're trying to do to games what Apple did to music.  I simply can't believe people failed to see this for so long.  If you are a fan of games, you should lobby against this.  Speak with your wallets.  Do I want Halo 5 and Killer Instinct and Battletoads?  Absolutely, but not at the extent to what MS is pushing.  That article really simplified things--very well said.  I'll still wait until the thing is on sale, as some part of me simply things there will be too much negativity around the console up until release to go forward with it, but it surely isn't looking good.

Sony and Nintendo.

No it doesn't place them in the same situation because Sony themselves are not doing it. M$ is making it mandatory. You can play next-gen Sony first and second party games without online or DRM. Can't do that with the next Halo.

While I don't use things like Twitter and Facebook and Youtube, I'd say the internet rage/reactions are more relevent now than ever.  I think things will get sooo bad that MS might change this. 

What really started killing the xbox was the change in the console directors.  The original xbox was a brilliant model.  Even though it paled in comparison to the ps2 sales wise, people really saw it as a legit contendor and that it offered things Sony did not.  360 sales are proof of this.  I bought a 360 based solely on how MS treated the original.  I'm actually baffled at what they are doing.  Xbox One could quite possibly be the next Virtual Boy.

Last time i check on term of agreement you dont have a game you only have right to use a game ,that's why game account like steam,origin or battle net cannot be trade or resell

i totally agree with totalhalibut said about used games

from all i've read about xbox one, I think the only people who have a problem with it are kids who have to ask mummy and daddy to buy their games, and people with naff jobs who can't afford to buy their games new. if you have an xbox live connection already and buy your games new (like me) WTF is your problem?sts106mat

It is called market direction/consumer rights.  I'd say it is the adults that still game that find this appalling.

People rent games, borrow games, sell games through places like ebay, experience internet outages etc.

None of those things effect you? Cool. Not everyone is sts106mat.

The length some of these shills are going to defend M$ is pathetic.

I'd say it is more childish, or the inability to comprehend what the possible outcome of supporting something like this can have.

For you maybe nothing would change. For millions of other people alot would change. You realize how many people rent, borrow, sell and buy used games? Without secondhand games the industry will die.
