Microsoft officially pulls DRM from Xbox One, announces new policies
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
This needs to be emphasized.
You people that questioned the revolution were so fucking wrong. In your fucking face.
Consumers won despite your best efforts to sabotage it.
It was people like you who made things like this possible, so I know it's been said a lot but thanks famousmortimer. Also another thank you to all you guys on GAF and the collective gaming community as we argued against this and spread the word.
Can't wait for the crow that's going to be served to pro-DRM supporters.

Go Freedom! I think everyone should be happy at this move not matter what console flag they fly. This is a good move for gamers.
EA execs must be steaming though.

Didn't think Microsoft would do a 180 so soon, what about kinect always watching and cant be turned off?
Damn what a surprise. But now they have to work to change everyone's perception since damage has been done. The question is did MS really think people would be willing to accept the DRM policies? Bet they're wishing they didn't go through with DRM right now. But at least the benefit now is that the industry knows how much people hate those types of restrictions.

Well done to all consumers/gamers who did the right thing and hit Microsoft where it hurts, in their corporate pockets. Shame on those defending Microsoft and their anti-consumer practices.
Well done Sony for not supporting such policies and forcing Microsoft's hand.

I was so worried that if Xbox One got away with this successfully, the bad precedent it would set for gaming as a whole. Very glad it's gone. The digital future will come sooner or later, but forcing it on us with these bullshit draconian policies would have never been the way to bring us there.

The short attention span of humans will at least help in this case.

I think it's too late for me. PS4 being 100 dollars cheaper is still leaning me toward that at launch. I'll likely pick up a One once the price drops.
