Im sure you dont care who CBOAT is or any time you hear his/her name, you cover your ears, hoping his leaks arent real but deep inside you know he is the ONE.

Apparently a ton of people see face value in them. I saw on my Facebook page a sponsored link by them announcing they were changing their DRM and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive. I couldn't believe it.
If you don't work at Microsoft and insist game sharing is real, you literally don't know what you are talking about.

This is insane and basically sums up Microsoft nowadays. They tell us about this family sharing shit for a couple of weeks and it's the only good thing about the One, and then something like this comes out.
A 60 MINUTE TRIAL?! You've got to be kidding me. Of course there was a massive catch and of course MS didn't make this clear at all.
There's just no way in hell I'm buying this thing until it's been out for quite some time and MS has proven they're not going to completely screw everyone over down the road. Crazy.

The more we know the worse it get. that hole seems endless!
they were happy I guess that people didn't figure it out back then because the way people wrongly understood it made it look like a good thing for us.
I can say that it would be VERY difficult for MS to convince me to buy anything they make for the foreseeable future.

Damn I'm a little late, how can all those yesterday claiming you ruined a great feature you assholes feel now?
So who is the asshole now?
Everyone was thinking grand with $6 shares for 10 friends = free games for all... LOL
So you would be tied like you are now, but you would have to DL the game and if you don't pay either delete or wait on it if it ever gets a sale... LOL
Yeah what a magical future MS laid out
I wanna see how many flipped flopped from PS4 to Xbone back to PS4 now

Oh, I'm convinced the policy was to get more people to pay for Live. Dude, we can split the cost of games, it will more than pay for Live!
He was making a joke. Arthur Gies meme.

It was Halo. To be fair, I thought that was what it was when that trailer first started too.
The people who were saying that were never considering the PS4.

Cboat's Orcale powers are exceeding and expanding, truly a prophet before our eyes!
He (seems) to have already apologize for this.
Not trusting what mega corporations tell you to get you to buy their shit has nothing to do with cynicism and everything to do with being an educated consumer.
You're basically saying you'll trust the door to door salesmen when he tells you snake oil will cure everything.
I'm exhibiting cynicism when I say that I think MS will pull another 180, re-establishing this shit in about 3 to 4 years.
I was excited until the reveal.It was Halo. To be fair, I thought that was what it was when that trailer first started too.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Those are opinions though, the family sharing concept was presented vaguely enough that people were interpreting however they wanted. It just turns out that the naysayers were correct but that's not always the case.
No, that's complete bullshit. I ALWAYS do my research when I buy anything. I read all the reviews and take time to decide. Family sharing wasn't the only feature that my purchase of an XB1 hinged on.

It's total shit imo (assuming it's like psn 1 hour demos)
You have to download the full frigging game just to try it out...
Who is going to waste their time downloading 10-40 GB for a demo (this is what MS/sony hope I guess, that you committed to so much bandwidth and time that you're inclined to buy it)
Giving you a savegame in a demo is not a frigging special or new feature, you can download the (long and great) demo of dawn of war 2, then if you buy the full game it'll update your install with the data of the full version and you keep your savegame.
I'm also 99.9 percent sure dragon's dogma demo lets you keep your savegame in the full game.
Other game demos have had savegames for ages , it's not rocket science... very very basic stuff.

I swear there has to be some plants or shills or some experiments going on where someone spouts that kind of nonsense, and then I guess naive or gullible people just parrot it and it spreads. It just doesn't make any sense at all to me otherwise.
Opinions in the form of attacks are no opinions at all. That's exactly what I was saying, that everything about it was so vague, but people in the other thread were saying it was crystal clear. I mean I guess if you thought that MS's statements and words about the feature were crystal clear, that's your opinion. Presenting that as fact takes it out of the realm of opinion into idiocy.
So was I.

So this meant no game demos on Xbone, you had to have "shared" the game from someone you knew.
lmao

I actually didn't know he's a super reliable source. I was just saying that they sounded so different that people(myself included) didn't think they were the same. Either way, pretty shitty they inflated that, but at least the DRM thing is gone.
Man that was hilariously dumb. I don't know anything about the lore of Halo after 2, but master chief wrapping his external space armor in a thin cloth just so a gust of wind would reveal GASP! IT'S HALO!I was excited until the reveal.

I don't know if you're being serious but this kind of talk is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. This can't be real.
Edit: I see you said "some silly" rights telling me that you're joking. My point remains there are a ton of people who were seemingly seriously saying basically that. It doesn't make any sense and something is up.
Now there's an image.
Now that we see the fuller scope of what Microsoft had in mind, it's really incredible what they were trying to pull over on consumers. The brazen DRM restrictions and loss of ownership, the tiny dangling baby carrot of a "benefit" that was the sharing plan. Just incredible.
Talk about pissing away all the goodwill they built up with the 360. Jesus tits!
It all makes me that much more dubious of what they'll do later in this generation, now that we know what their end goal is. Pure, unbridled anti-consumer greed.
Indeed, but a new IP starring Desert Poncho Man who's squaring up to a desert mech because Reasons might have been cool ya know!

I can't wait to see what other MS policies come to light. XBL price tripling in order to support all those clouds will be next I'm guessing.
The point is sharing was one of the features you were hinging your purchase on. A feature you actually knew nothing about. What research did you do, other than finding very little info and deciding "trust" was the way to go?

Come eat your crow, family share whiners!
Nice dismissive response there, but hey whatever. I think it's idiotic of someone to say it's obvious it's crystal clear, you just can't or won't read and that's why you can't see that.
Because if you don't follow our rules, you get nothing, NOTHING!
