The author wishes it to be known that the bulk of this video was written before the MicroSoft DRM backtrack and he now thinks that games exclusive to XBox One are no more tainted by Original Sin than those exclusive to other consoles. He regrets now having to fall back on less popular arguements against next-gen consoles, such as their blind insistance on empty spectacle above all else to make AAA development all the more elitest and prohibitively expensive, the systematic erasure of console gaming history one generation at a time, the flagrantly anti-consumer culture of artificial exclusivity that has created a world in which games are expected to support consoles, in which artwork exists to serve a medium on which artwork is presented, as if the words of a great novel exist to serve paper, or a great film exists to serve a piece of wall onto which it has been projected, and so on and so on and so on.
