Anyone who checked out E3 knows Sony did not FORCE DRM for used games. I believe it is optional (correct me with source if I am wrong). Microsoft is stricly enforcing DRM and an abundance of reasons to hate their approach this cycle. However, after seeing this article I came to realize the truth. The real reason game devs are upset with the Wii U.

Reggie was quoted as saying, to paraphrase, "That is not our business model." The rest is all BS for the devs. I've experienced BS with EA on many occasions. Free WSOP app, did a survey, their companies said I was owed 600,000+ chips, aarki, then burstly said I get the chips. About a month on, multiple emails, and they finally told me to contact EA as they told EA to credit my account. Get a response today, "While we understand your frustration we will not credit your account with the credits." They don't give a shit about anyone.
I don't trust these large gaming companies, and MS looks more like an NSA sponsored system. Nintendo sticks up for used game purchasers (some want to wait and pay a discounted price) and gets laughed at.
When you dig it up, yes, MS is part of that mess (NSA). Remember, MS enforces DRM, while Sony left it OPTIONAL for the dev companies. Last I read this was the case (correct me with source). This goes beyond "Power here" and I hope people recognize this. Some mentioned it but seriously, is this not one of the most pathetic reasons for companies like EA to "Show their ass" over?
