I tweeted about it earlier but deleted them out of respect to my source. People in my feed about 2 hours ago saw it though.
I trust this to be true but it's obviously still a rumor.

If it actually does happen, good. Competition is good for the consumer. And it will be a achievement for "slacktivism" and internet petitions.

I couldn't care less about the used games DRM. I never sell games, and i rarely buy used. I don't think that's going anywhere, though.
I do wish that they would backtrack on 24 hour check in. Dammit Microsoft, just let me put the disc in the drive to avoid phoning home. That's all I want. I'm good with phoning home if I installed from disc and its not in the drive. But if the disc is there, bite me. Your stupid box should be smart enough to recognize that.

They have already lost face. The mea culpa could only help, IMO. No shame in admitting you were wrong as long as you make it right in the end.

With all the Xbone's glory predicated on the infinite power of the cloud, I can't see how this would happen.

Ok so we have this, the daily dota being cancelled for...something (possibly), the site in the OP and Mortimer? Clearly something is going on...but what and when??

Backtracking would be hilarious, basically like admitting they attempted to fuck everyone and it backfired.
Guess it's good for people who want the system.

I believe!. You were right on the money with E3...
This wouldn't shock me. I have never seen a console in such a horrible position prior to launch. People just hate MS right now. And worse, they're not only the "DRM system" now, they're also 100 dollars more expensive. They have absolutely nothing to stand on at this point.
In truth, they even showed a pretty decent lineup of games at E3, probably had the best conference overall, but it was all meaningless in the current atmosphere.
They might be willing to put aside their pride in the face of the absolute curb-stomp they are about to receive from Sony when both systems launch.

So you're saying I can play Quantum Break?!
True, those are still there, I meant more specific ones, and being involved in the story, but he's in the thread so I'll leave it to him

Heh, yeah pretty much.
I'd like it to happen of course, but if I'm being cynical (i.e. normal) I'd say that from Microsoft's point of view... they already ate a mountain of shit, PR-wise. May as well benefit from it and hold the line on the policy.
They can always revise when the thing actually goes on sale, if the Xbone is getting its ass kicked sales-wise; after all, most of their issues are self-inflicted policy decisions that can actually be reversed, if they so choose.
Except for Kinect. They are stuck with that.

Oh shit? MS just won from the grave?
Xbox doesn't mean much to their company profits. Will never effect the stock enough one way or the other.
As for the rumor, I didn't believe the Internet required talk and now that it is true I now don't believe they will back off.

This tweet is from April.
"well today should be interesting" from Ryan Davis, and they've postponed their DOTA live stream due to some mysterious events happening later today.
Giant bomb story just went up.

Ok GAF, if this turns out to be true we need to start up #$399Xbone. If they're listening, let them know you are not willing to waste $100 on a Kinect.
