We were idiots about the DRM fiasco

[daze23]

what's the carbon footprint of disc based games vs digital distribution?

I'm gonna remember yall console gamers when I'm living in water world

why the fukk you think microsoft lost so much love when they revealed the xbox one. they single handily destroyed their customer base with insane ideology and business practices that are way beyond draconian! if you have no internet you cant play your game? WTF!!!!!????

 

[MeachTheMonster]

And THAT IS WHAT YOU WANTED??!?!?! what DA fukk!

Too bad that is wrong. And this is what I ment by misinformation being spread. Some Sony fan made that list and made sure he passed it around to as many people as he could.

In reality you could lend games, you could disconnect the kinect, and they said they were working on game rental. Also he adds in the speculation of getting less for trade ins.

And if you are gonna make a list of what the drm entails, why would you leave out any positives that would come from it?

He's right though. Many times I've been playing BF4 and wanted to switch over to AC4 but had to get out of the moment and go through the motion of taking a disc out putting it in its proper case and putting the game of choice into the disc drive putting both cases back where I store them all before I could play. Kind of an annoyance especially since on both systems we have to install them anyway. Until we start seeing a price discrepancy of buying digital versus picking up the physical I'm not moving to a digital library to get rid of the annoyance.

Xbox one stand should be called SpinBox One sans for their uncanny talent to spin everything in "their" view for saving the planet with Lower carbon footprint to straight lying on every post like Meach the monster

I had issues with a couple of the policies, but I was definitely for moving towards a more digital-based marketplace. I doubt it would've been like Steam, but it could've been a start. I try to buy console games digitally when I can these days anyways, which is mostly PS3/Vita since 360 doesn't always throw new releases on the Marketplace on Day 1 like PSN does.

That sheet is exactly what the xbox one was gonna be, it didnt come from Sony, those was fukking facts anyone can look it up. why the fukk you think there was a larhge outcry against it!!! C'mon son im not fukking lying i was sitting there watching E3 myself!!!

 

[daze23]

they should have come out and said digital games would be cheaper. but I understand there's a lot of politics with retailers and multiplatform titles that comes into play there

 

[Rekkapryde]

I was LMAO at MS releasing that list of shyt they WERE GONNA DO after they dropped their bullshyt DRM plans. We don't believe you. That was a huge dikk move and mufukkaz believed that shyt.

LMAO @ nikkaz REALLY thinking 10 cats were gonna eat off one game.

LMAO @ yall REALLY believing that you would have been able to sell digital purchase licenses.

Larrybox = Jack of all trades, Master of None.

Yup, no different than Larrybots talking about "WATCH SONY DO THE SAME DRM shyt TOO!!", even though you heard from 3 Different Sony Execs that they WERE NOT gonna do online DRM knowing the infrustructure of internet in many countries where playstation is sold. And Sony said this BEFORE MS DRM debacle and the Xbox one announcement.

Defending M$ at this point has to be some form of Stockholm Syndrome.

this dude meach is delusional....

 

[Maddmike]

I think it was the way Microsoft presented to everyone. It just came through as if they were trying to be sneaky. Then when people started to demand answers they broke us off with the typical pr bullshyt.

It's almost like they didn't know what was going on their selves
