Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Killer Instinct DRM? Non story. PS4, PS3 and 360 have exactly the same DRM. Move along

Yet it accomplishes the exact same thing. Seems rather petty to me to cling to such semantics but oh well, carry on clinging on.

It accomplishes differents results too... it is pretty obvious that they use way different things.

What a bunch of bullshit, and also lie. Reported.

You're obviously new here, we don't report threads just because we don't agree with them. Ok? We explain why we agree or disagree.


Isn't a sane forum one where lies, trollbait and rationalization manipulation are reported?

This topic is a lie

Different results in different situations is irrelevant. In this exact same situation, is there a single console amongst the 4 that would have worked? No. That's what the article is saying, so what if selnor worded the thread title in a way you disagree with. The bottom line remains that DRM would prevent it on either Sony console and either MS console. Beating a dead horse now so toodles.

Silly thread about an even sillier thread but here's a story.

I bought Escape Plan for Vita at launch so the PS4 version was free for me. On my PC I added it to my PS4 download list. PS4 was in standby so it instantly went to work. I was busy though so it was a few days before I played PS4 again.

When I got on PSN was temporarily down. This made it impossible to play Escape Plan since the game was locked. Seems like it's a pretty similar thing to what happened at the tournament. Once I signed in everything was ok.

PS4 have some kind of check in for digital games but it won't stop you in the middle of play. You can't start the app with a secondary account if you are playing it in another secondary account (so it needs to check who is playing the game).

Primary account plays the game without checkins.

If you have that wrong then some weird thing happened... primary accounts didn't have online checkins.


Whats this in the middle of play thing. The Xbox One waited until the fight was over. You can clearly see that in the video. It was in the middle of nothing. Well the menu?

Menu is part of the game... what I mean is you can't start the app with your secondary account without other is using it on PS4 but if you start it you can use forerver while it is running.

If its a none story then why are there no stories of the DRM interrupting other consoles? Its very badly implemented in xbone so it is a story!

Thats not the same. This is an incident where one account downloaded KI on more than 2 consoles. It sounds like it was 5 for one account.

No its not. Its iplemented better.

In this instance one account downloaded KI 5 times to 5 consoles. Try doing that with PS4 PS3 or 360 and see what happens. All playing at the same time. Thats what the organisers did.
