Does PSN have a rep system or a report button for people in games?

On Xbone, getting banned from XBL maybe revokes(?) access to your games

Which games for Xbox One would make you purchase this anti consumer pos?

They didn't know not to be an asshole online?
The implied immorality is in fully understanding what negative implications this entails for gamers without the resources you have (money, stable internet, geographic location, 6 smartphones), but in deciding that since it doesn't affect you personally that you see no issue in supporting it.
It's fully your right. No one is disputing that. But it is a moral dilemma. The choices you make as a consumer will have ramifications that impact all of the rest of us, and you do understand that so you can't say you didn't know.
I dont think its dumb and people shouldnt be ridiculed for buying or liking a system (see Wii U and Vita). I have a friend still gung ho about xbox who preordered one already. The only caveat i would reserve is that i will show zero sympathy for anyone that runs into problems with any of the countless issues that have been brought up.
Some products aren't for poor people.
You can literally say this about every single product on the market
So your fine just buying a product because of its name? No questions no curiosity? You would have just bought it and have them possibly shit on you afterwards?
Like I said ... morals zero.
Might as well just stop denying that at this point.
Gaming has been accessible to poor people since Atari. And by "poor people," you also are talking about tons of countries that aren't supported at all, regardless of each individual's income.

I am out of this thread man I'm about to have a heart attack here. Can you really be this uhm.....unintelligent?
No you can't. You can say it for products where purchasing the product leads to an industry adopting anti-consumer practices and makes it more likely to be the norm.
That's not the case for tons and tons and tons of products out there.
Yes, no one bothered to read the thread, only came to masturbate to xbox one hate.

MS needs be clear and explain to consumers ALL the restrictions an Xbox One entails.
Questions and fears raised by gamers are legitimate concerns
And it will continue to be accessible to poor people, but not necessarily on Xbox One. Just like they couldn't afford a 3DO at launch.
And as for unsupported countries, the console is launching in 21 countries. That doesn't mean it will never be available in other ones. PS2 launched 8 months earlier in Japan, and the only difference here is that consoles can't be imported.
I have no idea what this means. You think they won't fully delineate their policies before launch?
No. As someone who really likes my 360, this is now beyond upsetting. It's all so confusing. Like the main people behind this thing are completely out of touch with reality.
All it means is that they are already 'anti-consumer' by virtue of some people not having the resources to buy them.
We're talking here about Microsoft policies and not who has the biggest wallet.
I was talking to someone who was arguing that it's immoral for them to exclude people who are less fortunate than myself. I'm excluded from owning a Lexus, but you don't see me boycotting them.
Expensive, unaffordable product is not necessarily anti-consumer. (Car analogy: Ferrari compared to some cheap car. Both are cars, neither one requires or has systems that are anti-consumer).
Indeed, price itself is not really a factor here, different products are directed towards different demographics.
