It was all ruined for a few people. But apparently MS thought the vast majority would have had their gaming experience ruined instead with all that. So what is MS going to choose those few people like you, or the majority?

Thanks for the answer, yes I will wait and see how everything goes. :)

This is fantastic news! Good to see MS listening to people. It doesn't change the things that are keeping me from buying One (get it :P) But at least it's not going to hurt the industry now.

All it took was a month of negative press. Whining solves everything.

Awesome.

This victory belongs mainly to all of you, gamers, who complained, bashed and insisted MS had no right to control the direction of the console culture as it pleased them, and above everything it now benefits all of us, who had all but written off an entire console ecosystem because of its crappy policies and now we can have it back. Most of it, anyways.

Well played everyone.

And for the apologists who would accept everything MS pulled without blinking an eye and now are going to benefit from what the very people whom they incessantly bashed have earned, a big fucking lol to you all.

There is no right or wrong, just different opinions. I think at least MS should have tried a new, innovative system to bring to the gaming-world but they just couldn't. Sad but I have to deal with it.

Now MS should drop kinct and things will be better

Anybody here remembers this interview days ago? Look at the Sony related question at 3:33.

“I don’t think,… I mean we’re really not going to change anything we’ve done with Xbox One. We’re very happy,… did you see the games on stage during our briefing? Did you see the exclusives? I mean we’re really really proud of the system and the games that are coming out. When you look at games like TitanFall,… have you gone through Titanfall yet? Enough said. Conversation over. We’re really happy with what we showed on stage as well as what we’re showing here in the booth so I think it is uh,… it’s safe to say that we’re confident where we’re going. We’re also confident that gamers are going to love our vision of the future and what we’re going to offer for gaming” 

THIS!

The game sharing and full access to your library of games on the cloud were big features for me. I hope they figure out a way to bring this back or at least give the option. I'm really not happy about this as their policies didn't bother me one bit...

I can now use my Gamefly account for Xbox One rentals and no need to worry about the 24 hour check in but the family share thing and not needing your disc to play your game once installed are now gone sadly. Was hoping the family share feature would somehow still be available for digital sharing at least.
