Fuck the 30%!!!
So, what happens if you don't "check in"?

lol what kind of shitty internet connection goes down? sounds like you need a better HDMI cable.
The crap internet offered here. Service here isn't really normal like how it is on mainland Miami. Here at the beach, there is no Verizon so you can't get FiOS, and there is no Comcast so you can't get Xfinity. The only options you have are AT&T U-Verse and Atlantic Broadband (which is what I have) and due to bad weather I've lost internet for over a day several times.
Up to 10 family members can play your games from any console at any time.
So, I guess I'm ok with this. If this can help fend off future lay offs and closings, then I'm in.
I can buy PC games for $1 like Alan wake. PC gaming with steam is WAY WAY WAY cheaper then anything MS has shown they are willing to do.
Used games aren't why studios are closing down.So, I guess I'm ok with this. If this can help fend off future lay offs and closings, then I'm in.
The worst kind of attitude about all of this is the one that's like 'this is the way the industry is going, deal with it, get another hobby if you don't accept it.'
Well no, fuck that, fuck it! This is my hobby which I've invested thousands into and years of my life and I'm not about to fucking 'move on' because Microsoft want to destroy the industry through their greed. Fuck them for making my hobby less about games and creativity and innovation and more about ways of draining my wallet.
I'm forced to go pc exclusive if Sony follows suit

The three month wait will kill a very good chunk of demand.
Don't know why people keep saying Sony is going to do the same thing when they have already confirmed the PS4 will never have to connect to the internet.
They could go the rfid thing, but it still wouldn't be as convoluted as all these MS policies.
ugh. It's not at launch. That means you can't when you buy an X1 this Holiday. It's not premature.
So, I guess I'm ok with this. If this can help fend off future lay offs and closings, then I'm in.
It sounds like the "xbox family plan" is one person on your list can play one game at one time.
So if you have one good friend, you could share your games list with them.
You couldn't share it with more then one realistically, because there can only be one game from your list active.
Cant wait to watch the video! Get ready GAF!
I was being sarcastic
Why was this on NeoGAF Shit Posts Twitter? This post is fucking great.
Playing devil's advocate, because I hate to see the overreaction:
-I can almost guarantee they will work out rental deals with redbox, blockbuster, gamefly, etc. They would be foolish to leave money on the table.
-Put a piece of tape over the kinect sensor if you don't want MS to see you in your underwear. It's not like they'll be recording you on some server. relax.
-24 hours of offline play: If your internet is down for more than 24 hours get a new provider. My PC is always online and that's where I game the most. You're not taking the xbox out of your house to go camping so what is the problem?
-You can still trade a game to a friend. Once it's theirs, who cares what happens to it next. And there will still be avenues to sell your games. Amazon, gamestop, CeX... they'll all be there.
-Sharing all your games among 10 people = amazing. I can see 10 of my gaming friends and I working out a system of who buys what. That's 9 less games we each have to buy. Makes up for the lack of trade-in.
Getting my popcorn ready..

Oh look a junior member. I bet your email address leads back to a redmond office.
You. Can. Not. De. Fend. This. It is wrong. Period....
I don't see a problem with that. If you have one disc you can only lend it to one person while you can't play. I'd be ok with that.
The rest. Eh, I think I'm out MS.
MS said:and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.
This part confuses me. Does this mean if I have a "family member" with their own X-Box One and I share my account with them, they have access to all of my games?
What's really baffling that despite the news today most people who have been following knew it wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows but why on earth release this before E3? Surely a lot of people have made their minds up now and no matter what they show they won't be swayed. Wouldn't it have made more sense to put their line up of games front and centre and then a day or two latter causally and silently drop this news.
What happens when the XBox Live servers are down for periods, like they have been a number of times? What happens when you go on vacation? What happens to people whose power goes out from storms and such?
I just hope people don't get suckered in by some BS exclusive, timed or not. People are sending the wrong message if they hate this stuff, and still buy because that is the only way they can play Titan.
I am being sincere and not trying to troll people's purchase either.
Lol, I'm a dope.
So, I guess I'm ok with this. If this can help fend off future lay offs and closings, then I'm in.
I don't sony can, at least not to this degree, unless they just lied about their online requirements.But yeah, there's no way we're getting through this without sony doing the same exact thing. Seriously, why would microsoft give a shit about used games? They don't as much as publishers do. This is all because the publishers pushed for it, and if anyone thinks that the publishers didn't push on sony to do the exact same thing, they're insane.

Please, realize this :
They give us RULES to play videogames.
