 Quoting: Floobarb the Argnorf


From the announcement:

"Don Mattrick, the president of the Interactive Entertainment Business division, states, "We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds."

Downloadable games and physical disk are expected to work exactly as they do today on the Xbox 360."

Re: Microsoft removes all new DRM restrictions from the XBOX ONE
Not good enough MS... Ship the XBOX ONE with and without Kinect2. Having no option really is suspicious to what else in in the pipeline.

I will not buy an MS console with Kinect or any other type of motion sensing or facial recognition tech.

Imagine living in a gun free zone like Chicago, Your playing Xbox One and it detects your kids water gun in the CLOSET...

Too late...

They had the opportunity to do the right thing and offer an honest product(s), they did not.

That company will be dead as a dodo in two years. Maybe sooner looking at the Methane stuff going on. Seattle is near the ocean and the methane expulsion zone. It'll just take a big plume to roll through and end Seattle.

Same with windows 8. Microsoft is getting shit at knowing what customers want. They should have a page on their website just for ideas from customers

Lol. Not quite. MS doesn't make a profit from its consoles. They are sold largely at cost. They are a software company the consoles drive profits from subscriptions (xbox live) and games but the whole games divison is really just a drop in the bucket for them. The biggest profit center for Microsoft is and has always been licenses of Microsoft Office.

Re: Microsoft removes all new DRM restrictions from the XBOX ONE
Wait, you mean I need a disc to play a game again? WTF?! Am I living in the stone age here or what?!

Seriously though, they did the right thing here. Of course now, their reputation is somewhat marred, but no more so than Sony. Years ago, those jackasses put a damn program on a Foo Fighters CD that screwed up my laptop. Had to do system restore to get it off, couldn't just uninstall.

Sony's already been down this road and got smacked down for it. The only reason they were being so "consumer friendly" is because they, unlike Microsoft, have already learned the hard way that it doesn't work. And they decided it was financially beneficial to take advantage of their competitor's weakness. This is a fine example of the pot meeting the kettle.

Oh well, it works out great for me as a gamer. Microsoft made the right move, although they still look like a bunch of dicks now. Hopefully that'll be a lesson to all companies trying to go down this same road. Pay attention to what your customers actually want, instead of trying to force what you think they SHOULD want down their throats.

This is pointless to talk about, buy a good PC and you won't have to worry about DRM garbage.

Yes, I'm sure there will be a room full of agents somewhere at Microsoft HQ watching thousands and thousands of Halo gamers pick their nose while they score double-kills.

Exposing yourself as a shill, as if your first post didn't give it away.

I'll give you credit -- you went for the "don't play it too obvious" route. But no dice.
