Your negativity speaks wonders about your character.
Yeah, ok pal.
Your negativity speaks wonders about your character.
you can share your games with 10 people. Yet you say you can't lend the games. I won't be spreading information that is partially wrong.
Who is this for? The Dudebros/Mainstream?
You think they give a single fuck about any of this?
C'mon.
EDIT: I agree with everyone here, I'm just trying to figure who I'm supposed to spread the word out to.
Cool, can I borrow that game when you've cleared it bro?
People who "don't care" can go join the same people who "don't care" about NSA data mining over in the OT.... and take a long walk off a short pier.
I hope not.Will probably have to start makng a PS4 version as well D:

There are restrictions on how you can "give" and "loan" your games away. What's more, lending won't be available at launch, with Microsoft still "exploring the possibilities with our partners".
lol
the xbone is a luxury item. you choose to buy or not buy it.
the NSA is a government agency funded by taxpayers that is violating civil liberties.
this might just be a false equivalency.

how about just don't buy it? simple enough.
Is there a larger, printer friendly version of that image?
I think some people want Sony to follow suit, in a twisted bid to justify the actions of their "preferred choice".I don't see why?
Sony have already confirmed the PS4 doesn't require an internet connection, all Sony published games can be traded/bought used. The PS eye isn't mandatory, etc.

Pffft ..... here we go again with the Xbox apologists and their wishful thinking.

I'm 100% on board for any boycott. We'll cross this bridge with Sony as well if they go down this road.
Microsoft has now come out in the open and stood behind what we all feared. There's no confusion left but in the tiniest nuances of this story: they are gunning for us as consumers, and it's either we stop it now or this industry radically changes into something not worth saving (if it even survives at all anyway).
If this not worth a boycott, absolutely no bit of game news would ever warrant such. If this is not worth a boycott, then we might as well all just go home and allow any business to take advantage of us simply because we don't want to put in the effort to push back. If this is not worth a boycott, then we never really loved games in the first place and this hobby of ours needs to go down in flames anyway.
I say, if this is not worth a boycott, then nothing in this industry ever would be.
Here sits a man who just can't wait to get data mined by Kinect! I hope you enjoy those targeted nu-ads!
Surely you'll be able to rent games on Xbone even if it's just the digital version.
The point is to get the word out to those who aren't following this, such as families. I find that most kids don't have an allowance that allows for a steady supply of $60 games with XBL Gold. They rely on trading with their friends, and selling their used games.

Lol, are these what gaf meltdowns look like?
It's the same "it doesn't effect how I'm living my life, so go ahead and take my freedom" bullcrap.
And actually the two are related. Microsoft is one of the companies being data-mined by the NSA, and now their latest machine requires you to be connected to the internet with an always on camera/sensor. Orwellian, literally.

Stop saying "we." I am not a part of this drama queen circle jerk.
you consent to one, you don't consent to the other.
they are completely different. the xbox is a PRODUCT that you CHOOSE to buy. no liberties are being violated, no freedoms are being taken away from you, no rights being pissed on.
it would be one thing if microsoft promised no DRM and then they gave it to you. that would be lying to the consumer, that would be presenting a product under false pretenses, that would be wrong.
this? this is just another product that I will either buy or not buy. there are countless products in the world that we choose to buy or not buy due to the various constraints that influence our perception of value (time, money, etc.). I don't see what makes this any different.
Dude you shall refer to anything Xbox related with m$.
You know what's funny?
I could give a shit less about trading games anymore. How many times do you need to go to gamestop and have them take your game for 10 and sell it for 40 before you realize it's just not worth it.
I don't mind having the internet check my box once every day to make sure i'm a law abiding citizen... because i have nothing to fear
I don't care if my kinect is always on. I really, really don't.
The xbox one isn't going to "kill gaming". In my case, at least, It's going to be the next step.
#DGAFaboutDRM
I ain't even mad. This is a stop gap in the transition to digital only.
This doesn't destroy "everything I love about gaming" which is the...games.
I would pay money to see somebody walking around the mall trying to educate folks.
Also,
Just imagine all the returns with the excuse "the games quit playing all of the sudden", because they never hooked it up to the internet, or don't have online. Just imagine not being able to return opened games, because you don't have internet.
It's a salient point. Why do you think the Kinect is always on... added entertainment? It's to mine consumer data.
Actually it might - can you play SoM on your SNES today? Will you be able to play Halo 5 in 20 years?
