Anyway, this is a thing. Sign it, for whatever reason you have, if you like. It'll be ignored like all the rest.

 

This is crazy! I would love a Steam type of DRM for the consoles, but the one Microsoft was conjuring up was a joke!

 

What to you guys feel about this? Should the Xbox One revert back to its initial state?

 

Francis speaks out;

[Matsy]

It's nothing like steam DRM.

And no it shouldn't revert back the way it was, if it was changed to the way steam do it, then...mmmm as long as they make a decent used game policy (used games are needed on consoles tbh), then that would be cool.

[david cassar]

If it does revert back to the way it was in e3 it would be the point of no return .

[mvitkun]

honestly even if I did think the XBone type DRM was good,and I don't,I wouldn't want microsoft to change their minds and bring it back.

 

changing it from yes to no to yes again would change it from XBone to XBoncertainty

[EChondo]

changing it from yes to no to yes again would change it from XBone to XBoncertainty

Or, it'll be Xbox One to Xbox 180 to Xbox 360!

 

And we already have 360's!

Imagine if they do revert, all the people who pre ordered will shoot themselves. 

[mvitkun]

or cancel pre-orders.

Nah, the people who pre-ordered on Amazon can just cancel it(as they weren't charged any money) and I bet it would just as easy if you walk into Gamestop and ask for a refund.

 

I don't know about the people that pre-ordered through Microsoft though...

that's what i meant. 

[gill2k]

Ugh!  Not this again.

 

These guys really want 24-hour check-ins?  If they want "Steam on a console!", why not just build a PC?  :rolleyes:

 

 

This was to be the future of entertainment. A new wave of gaming where you could buy games digitally, then trade, share or sell those digital licenses. Essentially, it was Steam for Xbox. But consumers were uninformed, and railed against it, and it was taken away because Sony took advantage of consumers' uncertainty.

 

 

The way they were going to implement that bolded part (or used games in general) sounded so complex: go to authorize retailer, deactivate license, with a fee I think?  something like that... these guys want that?  "Steam for Xbox"... it can't even do offline play... LOL

Pegatron Benicia 1.01 (Socket LGA775) Mobo
Nvidia Geforce GT 620 PNY Edition
6GB DDR2 Samsung RAM (Do not know model name)

Liteon 250w PSU.
Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 500GB HDD
HP Midsize ATX (Micro ATX) OEM Case

HP FH970AA LSI SV92EX 56K PCI Express x1 (PCIe) Low Profile Data/Fax Modem

 

Beast machine. Mmmmmm...... I love low fps on all my games @ 1280x720 on a 12-year old CRT HP D8904 monitor.

You know what hurts me the most out of your specs? That 250w POS PSU.

What do you expect from a factory machine?

[Beskamir]

I think I know who's signing that petition. sony fanboys and people that actually think that the console would be better with all the DRM. since honestly the got rid of some really good features and they were getting rid of the used game market which is one of the reasons why games are so expensive. look at how we have cheap games on our pcs because the used market was killed.

Get this instead for less than the price of an Xbox One, you get a brand new 21.5" 1920x1080 full HD LCD display in that price too.

i didn't really understand the big uproar over 24hr check-ins. I understand that some people have internet connectivity issues but a lot of the people who complained probably had xbox live and played halo or wte online everyday anyways. Why was everyone so upset?

People don't like being forced to do anything, especially for a console that is meant for entertainment

[Armorhype]

Xbox One was fine until console peasants wanted to hold on to their precious optical media; outdated platform.

[IPCharger]

[TheMightyNoob01]

This thing is sounding more and more like the Australian Government.

[Nort]

People actually want this always online DRM back. Blah! This isn't even Steam on a console, it is worse than Steam as it I don't need to connect every 24 hours to play my games on Steam.

 

Don't you need a constant connection to Steam, or am I just crazy?

[gill2k]

Don't you need a constant connection to Steam, or am I just crazy?

You can play offline with Steam

[EChondo]

Don't you need a constant connection to Steam, or am I just crazy?

Constant? Hell no.

 

One time connection when buying games? Yes.

[obsidian1200]

The only thing I liked about the Xbox One DRM was the family sharing thing. I wanted that go to through because I want STEAM to start that, too. I mean, for crying out loud, Apple makes it work with iTunes with content that's at times just as expensive as video games, so why can't anyone else do it?

[SteepGnomeKing]

I think I'm one of the few who would like the Xbox One back to how it was originally. It was in some aspects better than Steam for console. The things they had planned for it were exciting and still allowed for what people on console were use to. The 24 hour check in were the pillars holding the who structure up. The system wasn't perfect but it was brand new. They got no usable feed back to how the system could be improved, only slander and hate from raging fan boys they most likely will never buy it anyways (even in it's current form) and people who didn't fully understand it.

Because of the check in it allowed for you to share your games with friends and family the same way as before this time only digitally instead of physically. Some of the rumors surrounding this feature sounded amazing. It is wanting to put a stop to physical formats and move forward with what the industry is pushing for. It is wanting to utilize the internet for a lot more than has been done with consoles in the past. 

 

I'd sign the petition if I knew it would make a difference but Microsoft isn't going to be jumping back again after the pre-orders have already been done.

 

Bottom line the way I see it is with the countries it was available in at launch, if you buy a $500 console you have the internet for it.

You need internet for a console anyways. Game updates, DLC, system updates, and extra features are available.
