They are incompetent.... they haven't announced the price for the new activation code...
Do you mind that I fixed that?

Too many copy and paste does that to you."Over the paste few days"
Fired.
For fucks sake, stop with the vague PR bullshit!
The fact that they had to issue a statement means they know the general vibe out here so lets hope that will change what they planned on doing originally.
We can at least hope.
This. What I'm guessing will happen is Microsoft will run an eBay on the Xbox where users can trade/sell games to each other. When you trade away a game it is removed from your account and registered to the buyers account.
What is vague about "breathe for a second and wait for us to say something?"
Embarrassing and infuriating.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time they've said anything since the conference.
the fact is,there shouldn't be any new "policy" to announce..just leave customers and the games they have paid for alone
Do you mind that I fixed that?
ExactlyThat statement literally said nothing.
I would really love a straight answer.Embarrassing and infuriating.
Better they didn't say anything. I'm not sure how the hell people and think statements like that are helpful, when the thing people want is clarity?
So, nothing new then - everything exactly as negative as before.
We know you can trade/resell games into some arcane system that Microsoft is going to set up, and if you're a business that buys/sells those games you have to go through MS and pay publishers a fee (a cost surely passed on the consumers as well, naturally).
And we also know that this new system effectively kills lending, borrowing and renting, and there is once every 24 hour internet verification to use games.
So, thanks for clarifying that everything still sucks Microsoft.
Can someone give me the official policy that will be in place when I try and buy Madden 14 used on PS4?
Oh you can't because no final policies have been publicized by Sony and EA either.
I think this is one of my favorite gifs.
They had months when these rumors were swarming around.... Then adam orth...

Yeah but this was just to say "Stop speculating until we actually announce something".
Embarrassing and infuriating.
Our policies are bad, but you don't understand how bad yet, so quit jumping to conclusions.
Where was Sony's clarity? These companies are still actively working on this stuff. It's software DRM, they can wait until weeks before release to finalize it if they really wanted to.
Over the paste few days
Same old PR bullshit. Just clear it up MS.
It says the current reports are inaccurate.
We shall see.

Well glad that's all cleared up then.
