Xbox One: Details on Connectivity, Licensing and Privacy Features

[Rekkapryde]

EA, UBI and Activison is the culprits

I think it's EA primarily, but that's real fukked up how they letting MS take all the heat for this shyt.

Again, why limit your customer base? 50% of people own smartphones (there's another whole 50 percent out there).

Like I said earlier, there's no need to specifically cater to one group and leave others behind. Get all the money!

"50% of people own smartphones" sound significantly small until you realize we're on pace to have 1.4 billion smartphone users world wide by the end of this year.

1.4 billion breh.

Current gen totals aren't even 20% of that figure.


Safe to say M$ isn't limiting much of anything on this front

Im willing to bet that come E3 we will see why MS decided to take this route. Publishers might love this shyt and shower them with timed exclusives.

They already have...

Respawn's Titan game
Rumored Mirror's Edge 2
DLC first more than likely.

Still having the ability to limit/block resold games or get their cut.

It's starting to look like Microsoft made a smart move in the midst of all the or nonsense and Internet anger.

They got all the BS out the way now E3 will be all about games and how the X1 will be amazing.

Sony will not only have to address all this at e3 but the will also have to find some time to talk about entertainment features and the Pseye.

So 100% of people own a smartphone?

Yeah with exclusive DLC. But what good is this Xbox if Live gets hacked and goes down. Microsoft is acting like Live will never go down longer than one day. Man, the hackers are going to have a field day with this. Sim 4? PSN network went down for damn near a month! What does the consumer gain if the online system goes down? They can't even use that shyt after 24 hours! Its such an obvious flaw...man....Microsoft has fukked up beyond belief with the Xbox One..even the name is stupid. The thing that really sticks out is that they are not catering to the consumer at all. All the benefits of the system are geared towards greedy ass publishers like EA. The consumer may get an occasional benefit but it is totally geared to the major publishers. What a sell out.

so if i wanna sell my game to a random stranger on eBay it isn't possible. on Craigslist it isn't possible. face to face with a stranger isn't possible. basically the publishers and Gamestop / Amazon / Best Buy determine the resell value of my games?

like i said i'm going to buy an Xbox One and the only games i will buy on it are Xbox One exclusives that aren't available on PC. i just can't see myself locking into a $60 purchase that has shyt resell value unless its unavoidable.

 

[Rekkapryde]

My point is that everyone who owns a console may not own a smartphone. I'm not leaving 1 dollar on the table.

You can enjoy gaming today without all of these restrictions, why not change it up now? Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean that it's still short sighted.

That's exactly what it is. Private sales of your discs are gone.

Xbox live has gone down for more than a day once and they gave out free time and games for it. It has never had the issues PSN has had.

But not as stupid as your dumbazz post

And why you worried about XBL going down? If XBL went down now 360's would be almost useless. You ever see the dashboard when not connected onlilne
Xbots got the very stellar State of Decay to play, what you gonna play RIGHT NOW on your ps3 if PSN went down (again)
"But but but next week"

Spoiler

again

Thread has me








Can you point this out? Cuz I only see the part that says you'll have hourly checks if you logged into your account on another machine.



Is there something I'm missing?




Guess you skipped this.

Surely we have smartphones... right?

unless you hack your phone i hope the average consumer is paying for mobile hotsopts. lol @ them selling you a device that has to check in like its on parole except even people on parole don't have to check in daily.
