After a month of vague corporate comments from Microsoft executives, we now know the Xbox One's game licensing policy was written from the ground up for companies. It's aggressively anti-consumer and anti-middle class, and it outright ignores underprivileged gamers. It's gross, despicable, greedy, pathetic, cowardly and out of touch with a growing global resentment for corporations.

Clearly just saying it so people don't think MS forced them to give Last of Us a 7.5.

"People accepted paying a monthly fee to access normal console functionality, why would they balk at this?"

---Microsoft.
 
"We now know"

Wait, these guys have been defending the 'potential' policy for weeks and not that it's confirmed, they oppose it?

didn't think polygon had it in them to write such a negative article.

looks like they're gonna be blacklisted as well.
 
Looks like MS isn't given the benefit of the doubt by a lot of people now.

Is this the worst reputation a company has ever had going into E3? They're gonna have to blow everyone away with games, and even that might not do anything.

Massive respect for Polygon. Don't know if it's a smart move but at least they were honest about how they felt.

Oh my, polygon might actually be able to become a decent gaming website if they keep that kind of thing up.
