Update: Microsoft must have gotten tired of the constant beat down on this. They've done a 180 on the whole thing.
The "must connect regularly" part is bad enough - the new XBox One consoles are also region locked. So imagine you're a gamer who serves in the military:
"There are multiple problems with Microsoft’s new strategy. You can only play an Xbox One in an approved country. Writing for the Navy Times, Jon Anderson notes: “if you’re based in Japan, Kuwait or Afghanistan, you’re out of luck.” Games are region-locked and region-activated — you can’t buy a game in the US and activate it in Japan. That means no spouses sending games as part of a care package."
The most awesome part of that - MS' response when questioned:
“Fortunately we have a product for people who aren’t able to get some form of connectivity, it’s called Xbox 360. If you have zero access to internet, that is an offline device.” He then independently raised the issue of whether or not Microsoft would support soldiers on deployment with the Xbox One — and stated that they wouldn’t.
You have to ask yourself - for this kind of PR crap storm, what win is Microsoft getting out the other end of this?
Microsoft has announced an almost full reversal of the controversial digital rights management features built into the Xbox One. The console, launching later this year, will no longer require an online connection, or need to ping the Microsoft servers every 24 hours to hang on to life. It will also now play discs like any regular console and no longer place restrictions on trading games. There will also be no regional restrictions.
I guess Microsoft got tired of getting a PR beat down from all directions
I like the idea behind this GSOC project - we need a simpler rewrite system in Smalltalk :)

Gizmodo is flipping out, because they think that the idiot policies MS just had the good sense to back down from were good. Specifically, they say this:
Here is how this makes sense for YOU: New games could then be cheaper. Why? Publishers KNOW that they will not make money on resold games, so they charge more to you, the first buyer. You are paying for others' rights to use your game in the future. If the old system had gone into place, you would likely have seen game prices drop. Or, at the very least, it could have staved off price increases.
Here's where they went off the rails (and where MS screwed up as well): It would be easily possible to create that resale market for digital downloads, while leaving disc based games alone. I know, I know - that was an overly complex thought for anyone at Gawker Media to have formed all on their own....

Welcome to episode 38 of "Thu'umcast" - a podcast where Michael Lucas-Smith, Scott Dirk, Austin Haley, Makahlua and I document our trials and tribulations in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Today, we wrap up the journey that has been the Thu'umcast podcast. We have Dan Bull - and his Dovahkin Rap - on the podcast to take the show out. We'd like to thank everyone for listening, and we would especially like to thank everyone who's been part of the Facebook group. This is it for Thu'umcast, but we'll be back when another Fallout game arrives - and possibly for ESO. If you liked our work on That Podcast, you'll probably like this. We intend to stay with the same idea - a gameplay podcast. If you don't want spoilers, don't listen - we are going to be talking about how we play the game, and what we ran across as we played. |
You can subscribe in iTunes (or any podcatcher) using this feed, or this one for the AAC edition. We'll add the iTunes specific links as soon as they are available. In the meantime, join the Facebook Group and follow us on Twitter. If you play on Steam, join the Steam Group. Like the music? Pay Sbeast a visit, we thank him for letting us use it!
Links to all episodes and other information can be found on the Thu'umcast page.

Microsoft fumbled the messaging, and its reversal on policy is the company taking a timeout to regroup on the sidelines. Many commentators were quick to begrudge the company for excising the few positive points of the original policy: the ability to share games with up to 10 family members; the freedom to maintain a game library in the cloud; and the ability to trade digital games, an option unavailable in any other digital marketplace.
Fret not: Those perks, and presumably more, will appear on the Xbox One. They are future leverage, the spoonful of sugar that will help the eventual DRM medicine go down.
Apparently, the idea of having separate markets for disc based games and ones you've downloaded from a vendor is just a bridge too far for the small minds in the gaming press. First Gizmodo, now Polygon. Here's what we need: a game press that can rub two neurons together and come up with a new thought.
