Microsoft adjusts Xbox One DRM policies, online check-ins and used game complications are history

[ggyo]

And DRM was somehow vital? Who the hell cares about DRM?

Oh, that's right, no one.

You and other uninformed Nintendo loyalists with a predisposition against Microsoft don't represent the true wants and wishes of all gamers.

Don't be so impressed with your own ignorance.

You mean I'm not impressed with my own ignorance already!? I didn't know you were a spokesman for Microsoft and all the DRM-fapping worshipers. Tell me more, O Great Spokesman. Rescue me from mine own debilitating ignorance, O Great One

Grow the hell up and then come back okay?

I find it funny how you think DRM will magically allow Microsoft to allow cheaper prices. The only ignorant and uninformed person you're pointing out is yourself.

 

[Lemmy Koopa]

Still not touching it.

 

[CrimzonEyed]

The damage is already done though. And the ps4 is still 40% more powerful and is still cheaper. And microsoft have already shown their true face.

So, how long before EA brings back Online Passes?

Everyone hated MS for the DRM and the always-on and the daily check. Now everyone seems to hate them for actually listening and changing some stuff. They tried to evolve an industry which has a less definite future than it did 10 years ago and of course it was a little to much for the average gamer to grasp. Why shouldn't companies want to protect their intellectual property by any and all legal means? Wouldn't you be looking for a solution if someone stole from you repeatedly and shamelessly. Kinect isn't going to spy on people in their homes, you'd be truly dumb to believe that, can you imagine the EULA? If you are dumb enough to believe that Kinect is going to record the fascinating spectacle of you sitting on your couch, mouth breathing and sucking at COD, I present a solution:

 

[Aeter]

Sony scared 'em DRM-less.

 

[Chaossaturn]

It is good to hear that MS went back on there stupid decision, I thought that there would of only changed there shit after poor sales but nope there used common sense and did the right thing, I guess I can no longer hate on them for now but I won't forget.

Haters gonna hate.

 

[Nemesis90]

Oh wow they listened to their pre-orders! It's amazing what a kind heart this company has!

 

[Rockhoundhigh]

Now we have a viable console war on our hands if Microsoft hasn't already caused itself too much permanent damage.

 

[FluffyLunamoth]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was planned from the start. Microsoft got everyone against them, and then is able to go and say "Hey, we listened to you and changed everything you didn't like." I still won't touch it. Only Microsoft product I'll touch is Windows now.

 

[eyecat14]

SOMEBODY KISS ME! THIS IS A GLORIOUS DAY!

I won't even touch windows. Never have, never will - OSX all day.

 

[tbgtbg]

Call me when you cost less than PS4 and don't still require me to connect a shitty kinect just to turn it on.

Exactly. Because you're a non-socialite geek who hates Microsoft, what they stand for, and their larger demographic.

People may contend my points verbally, but subconsciously, without noticing, they'll reinforce everything I say.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

So what if an individual isn't swayed to one console in particular and they just want well-made gaems? Where do they fit in?

Yes that's it you figured me out, I'd ask how much MS is paying you but I doubt you'd tell me. I've been gaming since the NES didn't buy the Xbox because it was fat and ugly and I wasn't interested in Halo, didn't buy the 360 because 70% of the consoles failed with red rings and once again I wasn't interested with anything on the console besides Dead Rising and finally I won't be buying a Xbox1 because they tried to put their hands in customer's pockets and are now asking nicely for forgiveness plus once again I'm not interested in any of the games on the Xbox1. I buy Apple computers because Apple makes a quality product made to last; I've had my imac for 8 years and my powerbook for 4 and neither have had any problems and I mean NONE. Yes Apple computers are more expensive but the quality is worth it.
I don't game on my computer and I don't do any graphic or CPU intense things but the most important reason is because the OS is simply better with no viruses, no headaches, easier to use, and more visually appealing. That's why I don't buy Microsoft products not because its the cool thing to do. Oh and by the way I'm pretty sure everyone on this site is a geek in some form what a insult that was.
