you should reconsider your position and join the Glorious PC Master Race. The Purging is coming ever closer, and all who haven't joined the Master Race by then will be burned from the face of the earth as the Glorious PC Master Race takes its rightful place.
Joke?
LONG LIVE PC!
Well, here are the usage examples he gave me, and I swear he's not an MS employee.
Survey question 1: I will never accept being forced to use the Internet to play games that I purchased. Period.
1) I won't accept anything. I can still plug in my Genesis and the games I have for that if I so choose. I should be able to do that with the next-gen if I want to do so. If the games and console do not work 20 years from now then it has just become and expensive paperweight.
Well now, aren't you testy? Apparently being critical of a concept that MS isn't the first or only to propose is SPEWING MS HATE!!!!
One: Forever. Once a game has been authorized, I should never need to re-authorize it ever again. Extended Internet outages happen, and I don't want to be penalized for it.
1. NO.
One: N/A. Once the game is installed and activated, it should have an offline mode that is fully offline. It can lack some features, that's fair. But it should not have an arbitrary phone home requirement after the initial installation and activation.
Question one:
I don't think there is a time frame I would realistically allow for single player games.
I learnt my lesson with Diablo 3 and SimCity (which I was given for free)
We also forget that these games are going to need to be run through an authentication process. I think we can assume we will see a set amount…
"But tech geeks and people who like device integration at home who don't really play games (they exist) probably like this thing. "
It might actually turn out to be illegal. I'm considering doing some research and writing a guest article on it.
I should also add that I would need a formal contract that states that Microsoft cannot terminate my access to these games ever, for any reason short of fraudulent purchases (and even then, only to the games that were fraudulently purchased).
I won't accept any online requirement. Period. Maybe it makes me a dinosaur, I don't care. I've stated numerous times how my middle class lifestyle has had internet go out for various reasons and I expect several of those will happen again. If the benefit is faster load times or smoother frame rate, you can keep it. I…
1 - N/A - As many have said, too intrusive for my own use. As an owner, I should choose how long I keep it offline. Even then, with my unreliable internet, it would be a nuisance to reconnect all the time assuming the process is anything like the 360's. My 360 has been offline for almost a month just so I won't have…
