Microsoft doing a really shitty job of convincing me to get back on board

 

[dacuk]

Thanks, but no thanks.

 

[fertygo]

Wow this stupid, hope Sony not does this (because with this way, they can easily twist that early statement)

I don't always have internet in this 3rd world country dammit.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Today has been filled with bad news. I need the PS4 to not have this.. Actually I need a Nintendo direct to bring my mood up.

You need to be online once every 24hrs.

No way. Is this bizarro world?

 

[AgentP]

What worries me is that devs will love this DRM and leave PS4 hanging.

Yep, I'm going home to watch a movie on my DIVX system tonight!

 

[ymmv]

Already confirmed not to be the case.

Here's another Sony quote:
Pachter: Sony's Jack Tretton "Totally Opposed to Blocking Used Games"

No wonder 3rd parties are avoiding Nintendo.

Yup especially EA. It makes sense now. MS has plenty of money too. This is going to be a sad gen.

 

[friskykillface]

lol permission , oh jeez


welp, that just means i wont get must games day 1, like the new IP's since i dont want to spend $60+ on something that will be bad.

i hope every game has a bomba and price drop asap


this is getting crazy.

WOW. the magnitude and horror of the Xbone reveal is getting worse by the minute. Never in my 22 years of gaming have I seen a trainwreck of this size, it is GLORIOUS!!! "Permission" to enter a code and play the game I paid for, not allowed to lend games away or my friend has to pay same price, connect online once every 24 hours to play SINGLE PLAYER games.... Kinect required (BARF)

I'm actually grateful to Microsoft, they've made my decision easy, and cheaper: PS4 and Wii U only for me

 

[flyinpiranha]

I put up with this for 70% off on Steam games and the VERY RARE purchase of new. I won't deal with this for $60+ games.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Totally nails it. That is just fucking sad. XBOX no dice for me.

I'd rather haul garbage for Shitty Bill.

 

[jmdajr]

I do have to say, Microsoft has fumbled the fuck out of the PR response this afternoon. I don't know what's real anymore.

Yeah i dont know wtf

No fucking way. Seriously, I cannot buy your console if you do this.

 

[Kyari]

I wasn't too bothered by the Always On thing until I recently had no internet for 2 months. Now? Not such a big fan.

 

[Xun]

Permission to play games? This is all so hilarious.

"IT'S JUST LIKE STEAM"

Except the lack of modding.

And the lack of communities that thrive on modding.

And the lack of low prices.

And the lack of control choices.

And the lack of customizable graphics.

And the lack of free online gaming.

And the lack of being able to download demos day one if you don't pay for online gaming.

But other than all of that IT'S JUST LIKE STEAM so why y'all actin' like y'all got a shaft in the aft?

 

[Jarmel]

And people were complaining about this console generation...

Wave goodbye to ever getting a lucky street-date break ever again. Scored Halo 6 early from the mom & pop store down the road? CD key denied! Permissions revoked!
