"Gamers will only be able to buy and sell used Xbox One games at pre-approved retail partners who have integrated their computer networks with the Azure system."
I knew they wouldn't dare cut GameStop out. Microsoft is all about big business.
Unfortunately, however, they've always been about crushing small business, which this does. Have a small, local business where you like to trade games? Yeah, they're probably dead. Want to handle it yourself on eBay, Amazon, or any of the nifty trading sites (which I use)? Sorry, you're screwed.
I really, really don't like this, and I'm not even opposed to developers/publishers somehow getting a cut of the used game market. Just not like this, not in a way that FORCES you to only use screwjob corporations like GameStop.
I dearly hope that either Sony stays away from this model or that Microsoft releases further details that make this more palatable.
