It's sort of like rape. Rape is bad, don't support rapist.

Ever hear the expression lesser of two evils?

They're both big corporations that only care about your money. Are most gamers really that pathetic to want to see big companies as their friends? Yes, Cinavia DRM... companies have tried a lot of different alternatives to protect their shit and sell more copies. And even more people managed to crack it and do what…

That's exactly my point.

There is a subtle difference between "doing it for the consumers" and "doing it so we don't end up in the poorhouse".

The difference is a couple 'deal with it's', a couple 'we got a product for ya right here's', and a few months of hoping that people just get tired of being really angry before…

nobody's saying sony's perfect.

thank you.

I remember that! It was hilarious.

They only recently stopped calling it classic coke, I think.

A bit more like putting New Coke on the market, saying "Fuck you guys, deal with it! We have a product for people who don't like New Coke, no wait, we don't!" and then waiting, and waiting for it to blow over before grudgingly bringing back Classic Coke.

Oh, and also, the can requires a fee if you try to let someone…

Even after they knew that over 80% of people were outraged, they tried to just wait it out. They waited and waited and waited, but it didn't just blow over. If they were just listening to people, they would have backtracked a long time ago, or not tried to force unwanted DRM on us in the first place.

Proper punctuation will vastly improve your audience's understanding of your arguments. I'm pretty sure you meant to call the OP an asshole, instead you seem to be implying that the current XBone situation is not like having your asshole raped. Good try, though.

feel the same way man. They showed what they're really about. I'm just done with MS.

Yes it is.

To be fair to him, their approach was pretty much telling us to bend over and take it.

Has everyone got amnesia?

This. This is why competition is good for consoles, good for business, and good for gamers.

No one won, everyone lost. Ditching the DRM is all well and good, but we're now faced with another generation of "more of the same", and that "same" is a horrible thing. The fact that the Xbox One's DRM was allowed to exist at all is a testament to how far the industry has fallen in regard to how the industry views…

There is nothing about the removal of the anti-consumer policies that prevents them from still creating a system where games can be shared among multiple family members consoles AND it sounds like they are doing just that so that feature hasnt been cut and in fact nothing of value has been lost, even the games library…

The first thing that came to my mind when reading that they backtracked was that they planned it all along. To garner a "we listen to our customers" appeal.
