Even the long time Xbox fans are turning on this, including myself.
Reddit is absolutely shytting on Microsoft. Front page criticisms everywhere.

as a major fan of 360 this shyt depressing....
you wont own the games only the right to license them, meaning in 10years you may think hey let me play that game i purchased 10 years ago, you throw that shyt in and it may not even play despite you buying it
following...
You do not own the games you buy. You license them.
Discs are only used to install and then license games and do not imply ownership.
People can play games installed on your console whether you're logged in or not.
10 people can be authorised to play these games on a different Xbox One via the cloud, but not at the same time, similar to iTunes authorised devices.
Publishers decide whether you can trade in your games and may charge for this.
Publishers decide whether you can give a game you own to someone for free, and this only works if they have been on your friends list for 30 days.
Your account allows you to play the games you license on any console.
Your Xbox One must connect to the internet every 24 hours to keep playing games.
When playing on another Xbox One with your account, this is reduced to one hour.
Live TV, Blu-ray and DVD movies are exempt from these internet requirements.
Loaning and renting games will not be possible at launch, but Microsoft is "exploring the possibilities".
Microsoft may change these policies or discontinue them at any point.
/r/gaming has always been anti-Microsoft and pro PC and PS3. No surprise there. Bunch of rabid fanboys in there.
I unsubscribed to that shyt long ago and went with /r/truegaming instead.
Most definitely. They know how people are. The thing thats on their side though is I think Sony is going to be doing the very same thing. I still can't see a situation where one console would go so far left and the other one doesn't. It seems like suicide. The only thing I can think of is that maybe MS is trying to force change in the industry to see if it can take hold. If it does, good. If it doesn't and no one buys their sh!t they can go back to publishers and say "See, we tried, it doesn't work." Thats where that "Microsoft may change these policies or discontinue them at any point." comes into play. If it doesn't work they can just flip the switch.
this is the way it has always been. every software you have ever seen in your life comes with an end user license agreement...
youve never owned software unless you made it yourself

What do you think is going through their minds with some of these decisions lately? Not just the console, but across the board?
Simple. They are trying to make xbone like the windows of gaming meaning that everything comes through their ecosystem and control the games market.

(Source: Gamingblend) It's Official: Xbox One Game Rentals Not Possible, Fees Nixed, 24 Hour Check-In Confirmed
Opting not to repeat what happened during the big Xbox One reveal two weeks ago on May 21st, Microsoft has canceled one-on-one interviews with executives at this year's E3. Many of the details about policies and DRM will be a no-go and one of the only ways to find out about said policies is from the representatives who take to the stage during the Xbox conference.
Gameranx has been keeping up to date on all things juicy in the unfolding drama surrounding the Xbox One, and they caught wind of tweets from the big dog gaming media players, all vouching toward the veracity of Microsoft canceling one-on-one interviews at E3.
Marcus Beer from Annoyed Gamer dropped this line on Twitter, saying...
After canceling the post e3 round table for media, Microsoft are now canceling interviews? How deep a hole are they trying to dig??
Patrick Klepek from Giant Bomb, amongst others, also chimed in, noting that...
Microsoft cancelled my one-on-one interviews with Xbox executives at E3. Bummer.
Two different 1:1 interviews. Was told they simply couldn't be accommodated. Dunno if it's just us or other outlets.
It's not just you Patrick...it's not just you.
On the professional gaming journalists boards across the interwebs, confirmations about cancellations have been ringing out loud and clear. This follows on yesterday's head-scratching maneuver that saw Microsoft high-tailing their executives out of roundtable discussions for the Xbox One at this year's E3.
With production cycles just around the corner and policies still labeled, by Microsoft, as inaccurate and incomplete, I don't see how we're going to get a clear picture of the Xbox One for the fall release when information and transparency has been shutdown by Microsoft.
If Microsoft thought they were selling Wii U units like hotcakes on May 21st, just wait until June 10th...there will be Wii U SKUs flying off store shelves like it was a discounted indie game available during a Steam Summer Sale.
Anyway, while Microsoft has made it known that there will be plenty of games available on showcase at E3, I just hope gamers don't let the shiny graphics distract them from the SOPA-in-a-box scheme that's currently plaguing the image of the Xbox One throughout the gaming community.

Thats true to a degree. You didn't own the code. But you owned your copy of the software. But you couldn't redistribute it. There was even wording that you could legally make backups of software that you owned. Thats why when you would go to a lot of those "bootleg" sites you would see them giving instructions on how to make "backups" of games because as long as they showed you how to make "backups" it was legal. I remember going to one of the Xbox modding sites back in the day and asking how to copy a game I'd already copied and those mofos flipped the fukk out. LMAO.
