Yeah not really sure what's up with MS fans and why they don't want to try. I was checking the thread made earlier to see if they were into it and was going to suggest to the OP that I combine it into here... but they all seemed to think the DRM is awesome. Stockholm syndrome?
Pachter has dinner with CEO's (had to fly back to LA after the MS conference last week to meet with Riccitiello), he's precisely the kind of person who can escalate and bring attention to the topic on multiple levels. Plus, he's active on Twitter and has a weekly show!
These are some of our best bets for real people related to third parties right now.
That "Gamers Rejoice" gif is really badassed! lol Hey, I can truly see Sony stating their 1st party & 2nd party games will not be affected/infected by DRM policies. This would mean publishers can't call foul on them since the Xbone is letting them do this but also puts pressure on them by consumers to follow Sony's lead.. or else
E3 is going to be WILD!

Hopefully this changes things but I think many of you are going to be disappointed.

Yep, this thread has 300K+ views and the Xbox one has 8K+ views. Seems that people thinks that only Sony can listen us and avoid the DRM stuff.
We've done great so far, but we still need to keep this up.
Fanboyism has blinded them.
Welcome! Don't do anything stupid to get you banned. You're one of the good guys now.
haha i know, i'm like about to like memorize the rules. i can't believe i put off registering for so long because i assumed it would take forever, it didn't take long at all. i read so much about the 'infamous neogaf moderation queue'
This cant be stressed enough. Even I rarely buy used games. But to me it is the principle
The overall feeling is that Microsoft is pretty much set and will endure the present flack they are getting and then wow gamers again with games announcements on E3. And it will work to some extent.
MS was heading this way, look at office 2013 / office 365 with 1 PC DRM and online. Xbox one is just a natural progression

Yeah I think it's a lot of apologists who are twisting anti-consumer DRM into - "HEY, THIS IS GREAT! THIS MEANS ALL MY GAMES ARE ON ONE ACCOUNT, FOREVER! I never have to transfer them and I buy all my games new so this doesn't affect me! It also means MORE GAMES FOR XBOX ONE, because it means MORE MONEY for developers/publishers, right?? right???"
Did I cover everything?

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
I suppose I could be an "Xbox fan" as I prefer 360 over PS3, but even I can see how utterly crap what they're doing and I've had no issue in supporting everything this thread is about and participating in helping out by tweeting. It shouldn't be about which company or console you like better. It should be about facts.

I really can't spin my head around the idea of not letting my friend borrow a game without losing access to my own account. It's really ridiculous.
I don't think that most Microsoft fans are happy with the DRM move.
I think the primary difference between this thread and the other thread is that we had some clear responses of receptivity from Sony representatives or people who know Sony representatives. That leaves a glimmer of hope, whereas the Microsoft thread drowned itself in negativity and defeatism.
To some of them it is.
Well he's saying that it's been decided that Sony's going to be allowing publishers to decide and he's basing this off a February 21 article on Gamespot with Yoshida. I said things have changed since that MS Reveal.
Bah who cares. I opened a twitter account just to support a good cause to benefit us the consumer.
Is there a link to that thread?

If you want to add my thread into this it would be awesome. For whatever reason everyone in there is so apathetic.

I'm doing my part! Are you?
If they actually listen, this could be HUGE for them. I certainly will switch my primary console to Sony if all these MS user restrictions are in fact true.
Just woke up and damn!!! Welcome on board Joe!!
HOLYY F***CKING SH**TT!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks. Got to it before I could. Maybe a mod could edit thread title as well to reflect the need to share this with both Sony and Microsoft.

I haven't seen that on GAF anywhere. Not even from pro-MS people.
I feel like he would probably be pretty level-headed about this issue. I'm interested to see his take on it, as I tend to range from wildly disagreeing to completely agreeing with him on a variety of topics. He's all over the place, which keeps his opinion interesting.
People see what they want to see. #sad

OP updated with MS info. If a mod sees this can you add MS to the thread title?
Nah, but nintendo would get a LOT of business.
Do they have any choice since MS went there already?

Oh? Do tell.
There will be initial outrage, but that doesn't change the fact that we what we could. Plenty of people are tweeting despite fully expecting Sony to use DRM.
At the end of the day, it may not change anything, but it's better than sitting back and waiting for bad news to hit.
