xbox1 climb down

[proxygo]

well after the public outcry where the mighty Microsoft thought
they where so special, that they could force DRM onto the public
block sharing and selling games, + make you login every 24hrs
seeing the xbox fan base bash them into oblivion Microsoft
have now back tracked - all bets are off, games can be sold - shared
and the login every 24hrs is gone... still buying a ps4 though

In a direct response to the outcry of gamers everywhere, Microsoft
announced on Wednesday afternoon that it will change a number of
its unpopular policies and requirements for the newly-introduced Xbox One.

Microsoft's president of interactive entertainment, Don Mattrick,
wrote in a blog post (cooly titled "Your Feedback Matters"), "Since unveiling
our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many
of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like
to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us
to reshape the future of Xbox One."

There are two main issues that these changes will address.

First, according to Mattrick, the Xbox One will no longer require a constant
broadband internet connection in order for users to play offline Xbox games.
Previously, Microsoft had announced at the Electronics Entertainment Expo
that the Xbox One would only be able to operate offline for a maximum of
24 hours, after which time players would have to find an internet connection
or stop playing.

Second, Microsoft has repealed its draconian used-game measures, under
which players were subjected to complicated restrictions on whether or not
they could trade their games with other players. While the following Sony
video ?w hich was created in response to Microsoft's used-game rules
? is no longer relevant, it's still funny:

to late - people have figured you guys out - tried to destroy used game market
make buying a game seem like renting it, 24 hr logins, i wouldnt buy this if it
was a $

I don't think I have ever seen a product get so much negativity before it has came out. Most video gamers don't care about what their consoles can do to their TV's, and not to mention the Xbox One is pretty much a surveillance device.

These are a few reasons PS4 is going to sell way more..

lol, on another thread I related to the microsoft situation to how godaddy backed down on SOPA after they lost a ton of clients.

Very similar situations, piss off your user base and see what happens

the problem was Microsoft being arrogant with
its fan base.

With DRM issues out of the way we can get back to the old debate:

I think that once you KNOW which direction a company wants to head, even if they shift their opinion based on pressure, they'll quickly revert to their original intent.
Nothing speaks louder than $$$.

I wouldn't buy an xbox one not now, and not in a year. Reward the right people, whether it's Sony, or even Ouya.
All this coming from a PC gamer, mostly, who occasionaly uses the xbox for games that would suck on PC (e.g. UFC undisputed, etc.)

Its because people don't like change, bunch of cry babies really, if you did not like it, buy the PS4. Some of us wanted the family sharing and diskless games. And all you people having cry over the Kinect, really? every fucking electronic device can track/record you. If you don't like it, go sell everything and move to fuckn cave. Its just the same shit with a different number, least MS we trying something different.

that's an ignorant statement, if people actually understood the benefits instead of acting like 3 year olds without sugar they would have seen the benefits.http://gizmodo.com/the-xbox-one-just-got-way-worse-and-its-our-fault-514411905
