Father? Is that you?

You're comparing changing the specs on a yet to be released console to a girlfriend cheating on you?

Because the internet wants to stay mad at them?

I don't think it was as much "Microsoft" as it was Mattrick's ideas for the various new "features". Notice that the turnaround on the Xbox One's policies happened almost immediately after Mattrick was canned. I see it as Microsoft seeing the negative effect Don's policies had on consumers and then reacting…

The real problem is developers get zero cut of used games never mind console makers.

And I suppose Sony made the decisions they made out of the goodness of their hearts?

the connection speeds required of the xbox one's original "always online" features were below DSL speeds. Almost everyone who has internet of any kind had the necessary speeds for what they were proposing.

...and then Microsoft changed the policy.

The message you want to send is to get it right, period. Sorry, but for anyone to complain about problems that have been fixed is stupid, as it removes all incentive to work on improvement.

You do realize they change the heads of the xbox division right? Right around the same time the backtracking started? Third person developers don't have any say in Microsoft's policies. At the end of the day its up to them to make the decisions.

I'm willing to bet sales for both consoles will be practically the same in the end.

That's a strange looking PC there, did you build it yourself?

So what's to stop Sony from doing any of this as well? What, because they said they're not going to? All Sony has done is wait to see how MS announcements go and then announce their policy based on that to look good in the eyes of the gamer. Sony could just as easily fuck over their user base in a year or so. The only…

It can, but who in their right mind would unless you want to burn your customer base and make no further sales.

What difference? Selling games digitally. Seems the same to me.

I've been paying for digital licenses from Steam for quite some time. Never has any one of them been "revoked".

Really? How does that earn you the right to be arrogant?

How so?

no thanks. i don't want a glorified PS3. I want new experiences...

Ahhh, it's arrogant posts like this that make me not want to buy a PS4.
