@cornbredx @therealone717 lol. wow. interesting. I hope so for their sake and the gamers' It would be a smart move to do it now rather than wait for bad sales numbers to creep in and then have to do something.
@cornbredx @therealone717 I gotcha. Look, I am totally for an always online requirement!! Really. It's just not the right time to force that. When everyone in the world can have free or extremely affordable, reliable internet than by all means go for it MS. But that day is quite a ways off. We are not even close in this world yet. Google may ratchet things up with their internet service attempts, but until then, MS is jumping the gun by at least a decade lol. I really was hoping MS wouldn't have done what they did, I would have bought an XB1 myself, but no way with these requirements. Future proof maybe for the NEXT NEXT generation, but what they are doing now is literally laughable.
@Kelleyb4947 Again, you sound like you are a fanboy for Xbox One. Even IF you are not, you sound like one. Why? #1: You are trashing the military in the hopes Microsoft looks better.
#2 You are supporting Microsoft and EA by default in their ongoing quest to ruin gaming with restrictions. Starts small with the restrictions, than more... than more.. than more. WHY SUPPORT THIS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO!!! There is no Logic or intelligence in this. MS doesn't have to have this backlash right now because they didn't need to stuff these stupid dumbass restrictions down people's throats.
#3 If you really want to support MS and/or like Xbox, than you should wait for now and speak with your wallet. Thereby forcing microsoft to do the right thing, which they SHOULD AND COULD have done in the f'ng first place! Oh and by the way: IT IS F'NG ELITIST! that's a fact
@cornbredx I'm not a fanboy either although I've been accused by some due to my current heavy stance against MS and their Xbone lol. I just happen to have a decent brain and can see that supporting MS inspite of their clearly wrong headed ways is just lazy and stupid. I just want people to think before they plop their money down to Microsoft as if they could hold off or get a PS4, MS will eventually be forced to remove this crap from their new console. They just need to be pressured and shamed into doing the right thing unfortunately. But it's interesting to watch go down for sure. This kind of stupid is epic entertainment of its' own on MS' part.
@Darth_Aloysius Yeah they really really are that F'ng dumb. I should know, I've worked at Microsoft before.. the people that work there are unfreakinbelievably arrogant and dumb. The only thing they understand is GREED. The ONLY way they will Listen to their customers is if the customers DO NOT BUY INTO THEIR BULLSHIT! It's the same reason they are now "FIXING" windows 8 ! LOL they didn't listen to the customers until the customers stopped sending them their hard earned money! But it worked somewhat. New Windows 8.1 coming soon to address customer "concerns"
@keltonkelly1989 uh. no. Have you even played a playstation before? lol. See my above comment, if you are that in love with Xbox One and Xbox Live, than you should hold off for now and get a MUCH better system after MS is forced to FIX this. If you do not do this. You are sealing Microsoft's fate which will be EPIC FAIL- like it or not. Patience will get you a better XB1.. good things come to those who wait.
@k--m--k Sadly yes... if they just held off on it, I think Microsoft would have to absolutely remove the always online drm crap. There just wouldn't be any alternative to doing this. Too bad really. I mean I'm already going to buy a PS4 but if people would initially reject XBone at first, they could at least salvage a better box fix coming from MS in the near future for the rest of gamers and have a good shot at a comeback. But if they ignorantly bend over for a Box stuffing :) they will get nothing, and neither will the rest of the gaming world. MS and EA win.
@Samslayer Exactly. Bad Windows 8 sales forced Microsoft to re-evaluate and make adjustments with the new free Windows 8.1 coming out soon. So if people REALLY want a great XBoxOne, they are unfortunately going to have to reject it for now and wait a bit longer! GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT! .... that said. when's the last time you met a GAMER with TONS of patience? Then factor in the morons of the bunch... too bad.. IF MS was forced to take away the Draconian from there new box, it would be a big victory for all gamers - now including the US Military as well ! :)
