Nah. You're gonna get shit because of the fact that you don't know what you are talking about, and you're making shit up in your zealous crusade as a MS apologist.
...and the Master Chief avatar. I mean, you make it too easy.
...
You're trying to say Microsoft isn't to blame for building this shit into their own system? Ha ha...no.
Nobody made Microsoft build-in these DRM systems into their system except Microsoft. CBOAT said Microsoft approached devs about the scheme, not the other way around. E3 comments from the various heads of publishing houses seem to reflect this as well.
Nobody made Microsoft institute the 24 hr./1 hr. DRM check-in except Microsoft.
Nobody made Microsoft put so much emphasis on the cloud, which most people realize by now is just another excuse for a DRM scheme. Microsoft did that.
Nobody made Microsoft require Kinect.
Uh huh. I'm sure you do.
Hang on a second, I didn't make anything up White Knight Mgee and yeah Master Chief Avatar who cares, you have a dog in a suit drinking a martini Big whoop wanna fight about it?
Now the next thing you say is that I am saying Microsoft isn't to blame, thats not what I said, I said they're not entirely to blame. Yes Microsoft went to the Publishers about it, but what stopped the Publishers saying no? Microsoft can't put forward a console without games.
The only way I see the check in system being a problem is for people with no internet connection for whom yes I feel sorry for, but still it doesn't affect me, so it doesn't bother me that much
Personally I like the cloud, the way Microsoft are implementing it isn't the right way in my opinion, but its still a good idea.
As for Kinect, I never even mentioned that and don't care either way, first thing I'll be doing is covering the mic and camera anyways so I don't have to use the bloody thing.
Now for all the effort you put into saying I made things up and twisting what I said so I looked like a moronic fanboy it could've been put to better use offering a less patronizing response.
I'm not a fanboy, I simply like the system itself. I don't care about the DRM because I have an internet connection, I agree its a horribly implemented system that simply will kill the Xbox One until they take it away months after the system launches (hopefully) but still, it won't affect me, so I'm not going to take to the internet to blindly put the console down when aside from the DRM issues it looks like a pretty slick console.
And yeah I do doubt it, Publishers have been shoving bullshit DRM features down our throats for years on both PS3 and on X360, this next gen isn't going to be any different no matter what Sony says, they only way they've got it better is their lack of the proprietry bullshit microsoft have on the Xbox one.
I'm buying both consoles by the way, before you play the fanboy card, I'm a fan of both systems, but there are flaws with both.
