I'm hoping that the boiling frog experiment reflects what really happens there, that in the end we really DO see it as being "too hot" and are jumping out.
But given what Microsoft was rumored to do and announced THAT analogy probably works better, and holds truer. Even I have to admit that if it was just straight up neither would allow used games but allowed full offline play, binding to an account if you had an internet connection, etc... I would've refused if that was the starting point, or at least grudgingly accepted it later in a generation if it gained traction and wouldn't be shaken off. But now Microsoft's come in with all this dialing home, possibly "always online ANYWAY for the cloud" crap I actually AM more receptive to the former, though I don't see Microsoft doing it at this point. They want to ride the cloud for all its worth, whereas Sony may yet still be reasonable even if implementing DRM.
