Gamers Petition Microsoft - "Bring Back Xbox One DRM!"

[calmwaters]

I bet all the legit signatures on the petition are by Nintendo fans, hoping to remove some competition.

Speaking of which, I better go sign it.

So... I shouldn't sign it because I want DRM; I want to see Microsoft go under. Besides, Microsoft was never really the leader in games... just internet...

I know at least some of you are at least halfway joking, but in case you aren't... lack of competition breeds laziness. Competition, even from Microsoft, is GOOD for Sony and NIntendo fans. Do you honestly want to see that go away?

Why are people like this allowed to breed?

Competition from Microsoft won't go away, but it'll be severely diminished if these features are reinstated.

A little two minute exposure to an x-ray machine without a lead apron will take care of that

I can tell you it's mostly fans of the competition that's signing it now, they kicked out the folks who were too dumb to live. I hope they know if Microsoft gets out of the dedicated console business, mobile will take over and no one wants that.

Funny how all the games that would be released on the Xbox would have to be released on Sony's and Nintendo's consoles. Wow. I can't believe people would rather play mobile than those two. Just, wow.

As we all know a lot of people are going to be signing this thing are going to be microsoft haters who just want the XboxOne to fail, another percentage are fakes ......

But even the legitimate signatures in my opinion won't accomplish anything , Microsoft made the U-turn because they knew that the majority of their potential consumers disliked the in question polices/features, and business' only care about money, there always going to cater to the majority.

People are always going to disagree, so unless this petition gets another backing to again come the majority of their potential market, it isn't going to change

The stronger the competition, the stronger Nintendo and Sony will fight back, resulting in a better user experience.

that seems like something that the super hardcore 360 fans would do. Trust me, I know a few guys that even defend the fact that the 360 would get the red ring of death within week to months from purchase. It's a shame because the fans from the original xbox were actually pretty cool and you could tell them that you have a ps2 or a gamecube and they even play them with you and you play xbox with them. But everything went down last gen and I don't even know why.

Who are these MORONS that want it back when its just got removed?
If they put it back there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I will EVER get a xboned. Well I'm not going to get one anyway as they already put it in and removed it so they can easily enough put it back in again later. I'm not going to waste my money on that chance.

The stronger the competition, the stronger Nintendo and Sony will fight back, resulting in a better user experience.

HAHAHAHAHA NintenDONT DON'T care about competition, they care about what goes on in their own little heads. They are too stupid to know what the gamers want or how to keep their product alive. The WiiU will be killed off soon and it'll all be their own stupidity that does it.

$ony DO know what the gamers want and either doesn't care or waits so long that everyone is complaining about it or everyone forgets about it then implements that begged for fix or options. $ony make it look like they care but they just want money and out of the 3 game companies they are the smartest. Micro$oft might have some smart ideas but go about it all wrong punishing the gamers instead of making them happy.

I didn't know you were part of the self-entitled Illuminati who could foresee Nintendo's future. Any way I can join your society?

Nintendo always makes mistakes, but Microsoft and Sony? Pfft, they've never made a mistake or gaff in their lives, no, not even with the Xbox One fiasco. They're innocuous, but Nintendo? They're always screwing up, they're going down this generation for sure.

From what I heard in interviews the "family share plan" wasn't sharing full games with family members. It was someone in your plan "renting" the game for a hour to "demo" then he would be kicked out of the game and asked if they wanted to purchase the game. Now this interview wasn't exactly recent but I don't think any new news on this family plan was given before it was removed from the console.

Sorry, but this is only true in theory.

In practice, competition is only about being the best if there is room to grow. That is coming to a halt: games can barely be 'better looking' than the last generation, so the companies have to come up with other strategies to be defined as 'being the best'. And that includes those rules, like microsoft's rule to deny a game on their system if it was released on another system earlier.

And it's not like nintendo (or sony, for that matter) can do anything of that. Worse: to a degree, they all HAVE to play those politics in order to survive. All this shit about games being exclusive to one console or company is an example of a disadvantage of a stronger competition.

 

[Wolvenreign]

Allow me to sum up my thoughts on this in two words.

Screw consoles.

Look what I just read; it's awesome. It seems Microsoft has become aware of this petition and has responded, at least to IGN, about it. The original article was written by Gameranx.

Very true.

Hear that M$ / Ninty / Sonya fan-boys? Without the competition you hate so much, things would probably be a lot worse for you.

And that includes price.

All I can say is that some people are really fucking stupid.

Good to know you have zero comprehension of how the market works.

Besides wanting a company to go under so thousands lose their jobs and even more lose the enjoyment of a company they like to buy products from is selfish as fuck.
