this can't be true..idk what's going on any more.

 

[Metaroo]

I mean... or what? I really can't wait until we get more clarification. This is just a fucking mess.

Edit: THAT GIF. I cant breathe

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Lmao

 

[Nokterian]

And it keeps on giving like never before. It is like christmas but a very bad one.

 

[DominoKid]

my reaction exactly.

 

[Vandiger]

Well this is bad news. Good luck MS.

 

[Alucrid]

Phil Harrison must be a Sony plant years in the making.

 

[Htown]

wait

That means it IS always online, they just set the server timeout to 24 hours!

 

[baekshi]

so this was the next big thing

 

[metalslimer]

Does this not affect military guys? Do they get internet no matter wherever they're positioned nowadays? Because it seems like it could be a pretty big FU to some of their biggest supporters.

Why would you live there?

 

[UrbanRats]

 

[FlyingTeacup]

negative news just keep pouring in.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

SAVE US KAZ!

 

[Meelow]

I'm shocked.

 

[Majanew]

Good god. I hope Xbox One is a huge failure when it releases. Smug fucking assholes.
And your system is even weaker on top of all the dumbass decisions.

 

[Manu]

Not a big deal for me, my Internet has been down for more than a day exactly zero times since broadband became a thing, I think the benefit of always online and cloud services outweighs the negatives.

Typical "I've never had normal people problems so fuck them" post.

 

[BruiserBear]

lol at all the people who so badly wanted to debate "always online" versus "always connected". At the end of the day the rumors consistently indicated some sort of online requirement for a reason.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

So Required and Permisson. I'm sorry XBOX One, but that is not how this relationship works.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Oh fuck me. I can't believe I was wrong on this one...



*eats crow*


WHAT THE FUCK?!

 

[Canis lupus]

WHY MICROSOFT

 

[akachan ningen]

foolishness

 

[AHA-Lambda]

ARE YOU HAVING A FUCKING LAUGH?

 

[CSX]

Well...at least we are getting all the bad news all at once

 

[markhimself46]

What on Earth...whyyyyyyy?! hahaha this is so ridiculous.

Excited to just be buying one console now. Sony, take my money.

 

[Mindlog]

Pass. I have a much better system that requires online activation yet lets me play offline without checking in if necessary.

 

[VALIS]

I gets worse and worse...

That actually sounds way better. Games need to authenticate once every 24hrs, otherwise you can play them offline as much as you want.

I don't understand why people are saying this is worse. The previous rumor was ALWAYS online, not one check per 24hrs.

 

[Dunk#7]

This is the only time I have ever typed LOL and actually been actively laughing while typing.

 

[Flatline]

HOW DOES THIS KEEP GETTING WORSE.

Exactly

 

[oVerde]

Makes no sense, we will never know.

 

[Persona7]

That blows if true. I constantly play games in a room in my house without a internet connection. I can get a wireless connection in there but I just sometimes prefer to be offline.

 

[Kerub]

I heard another rumor that the Xbox One actually requires power to run

Haha spot on. My phone sometimes loses reception, why should I buy a phone!?

 

[HomShaBom]

 

[marc^o^]

Oh come on...

 

[celebi23]

 

[RustyNails]

Um...what? Microsoft must know that there are tons of people who don't have internet, especially in foreign countries, right?

Sweet Billy once said about people who may not have internet connection, "Why would I live there?"

Good night, sweet prince.

 

[Sojgat]

 

[Kyon]

I canNAWT

 

[Brinbe]

ENJOY THE STEAM BOX GUYS.

At least Steam has an offline mode!

 

[strafer]

 

[commedieu]

Enjoy your next gen, this is what you've been voting with your wallet for 7 years an al half already. Why are you not happy? I thought you would be orgasming for having more and more fees and online requirements and serial code passes and stuff

+1

 

[BlackGoku03]

I'm scratching my head here. The only positive response to the bad news in all the threads here was that at least they didn't require always online.


Now they do.


Are they trying to fuck up?

IT CAN'T ACTUALLY BE THIS HORRIBLE

LOL

OMG

I'M LAUGHING MY ASS OFF OVER HERE

I know, right?

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Well MS just gave selling there system in certain parts of the world .
Today has been hilarious when it comes to MS news .

 

[Murrah]

I can't speak for my brethren, but I'm willing to embrace all who have spoken poorly of my Nintendo masters in the past back into the fold. My feet are ready to be washed with your hair

 

[DopeyFish]

Any time is too much.

How the hell do any of you deal with steam?

 

[Gbraga]

This is a joke, right?

Tell me it's a joke.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Ive never actually wanted a box to fail before. But I want this to fail so hard.

 

[Loomba]

Is it April's Fools and no one told me? It just keeps getting worse, damn.

 

[akira28]

It's like they're trying to trickle out the bad news to soften the blow, but it's actually making things worst.

"....and we forgot to mention that the Kinect 2.0 feature is mandatory, but also comes with a side effect. Leprosy."

 

[soulassssns]

'Merica says fuck you 3rd world.

Who in the 3rd world could afford a X1? Shouldn't they be worried about food/water or not being hacked to death? Maybe my definition of 3rd world is a bit off. LOL

 

[abunai]

Yo, what? This is hilarious.
