Microsoft wants to take on Apple for dominance for the living room space... by utterly shitting on it's fanbase.
Wow it's almost as if I OWN the game. But of course, if I want to sell the product I bought...
"Our console does not require you to be online at all times."
Fucking lying pieces of shit. GTFO
Except Steam removes the barrier of cracking out a code, punching it in by hand (and this will be on a controller no less. delicious...) and then inevitably losing the key.
More importantly, Steam offers great deals on games all the time. Any guess on how often you get packs of 50 games for 40 bucks on XBox Live on this thing?
COD midnight release...
Everyone gets home to activate their game...
Server problems anyone?
"permission"
Bad choice of words.
Yeah but how much will you get for that used game if MS is charging the buyer "full" price to activate?
At least Steam has amazing sales, that could be a saving grace if MS does as well but it is still a hard fucking sell.
So if you buy a new game and you have no internet for whatever reason. you can't play it until you go online and activate it? wow
If you don't have the internet, you can't activate a game though. It seems.They are not lying. Try learning to read. Once your game is authorised. You can play it without having a internet connection.
EDIT. And I'm not happy about it either...
OMG...........I just want to see what Sony is gonna do...
This is no different to what they do on 360, you buy the license to play the game not the game itself. Only now they can enforce it. It's an online pass for the whole game, for all games. Microsoft don't make consoles so you can make money from selling games."permission"
Bad choice of words.
You don't own cassets/records/dvd's/vhs/anything. You buy a right to own the disc, the view the content. The content is still owned. You don't have permission to broadcast content on certain screen sizes either. Just a fyi. A technical fyi, but none the less.
OMG...........I just want to see what Sony is gonna do...
if you think about it.
this is all your fault.
you.
bending over, saying online pass isnt a big deal.
online only isnt a big deal.
FUCK YOU., YOU!
You should be thanking Obama.I have permission to play it. Thanks Harrison.
Don't miss the best part!
Man, with this, and WiiU in the state it is, Sony doesn't have to do that much to get ahead on sales. Just don't do this and you are set.
Here is hoping the bolded part means playing it online requiers to buy it again, but offline is fine.
Sounds like Steam.
So systems that cannot be connected online are screwed since they can't pass the initial checkpoint.
So lemme get this straight.
Must install all games
To install game must be connected to the Internet
So....we need online for the console, just not "always-online"(?) --- still somewhat unknown
No used games (activation keys are transferable via some later to be determined/explained online-only method)
Fucking train wreck. All the rumors were right.
The overall idea is still that you need a network connection to get the train moving.They are not lying. Try learning to read. Once your game is authorised. You can play it without having a internet connection.
EDIT. And I'm not happy about it either...
