http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Microsoft-There-24-Hour-DRM-Check-Xbox-One-61134.html

i found this and a few other videos and text files talking about this and it's happend in a few tornaments now..

the evil DRM :d 

microsoft says :

“As we have said previously, there is no DRM check-in every 24 hours. Reports that say otherwise are inaccurate and false. 

“Buying a game online makes it easy to play anywhere, on any Xbox One. All you have to do is sign into your Xbox Live account and you are instantly authorized to play any content (games, movies, music) that you’ve purchased on that Xbox. It just takes a quick sign-in, which Kinect makes easier than ever before.”

interesting so you need to be online to play your games.....thats not DRM?

Not sure if serious.

How else would you suggest that they allow you to play downloaded content that you've purchased on someone elses console without having you log into your account?

Otherwise, everyone could just download everything and play it?

That is only true on your primary 360. If you download the game onto a second 360 you need to be logged into Xbox live to play it.

Exactly!  It's digital, it will always be DRM based...



It is near the end of the end....

Only if you are playing on the ps3 or 360 it was purchased on, if you try playing your games on a different ps3 or 360 you must be logged on.  Same thing on the ps4 and x1... So im not sure what you are trying to point out in this thread...



as much as i know you can change in the settings if the console you play on is your main console and all games you download on that will be also available if you play offline (something like that) but if you purchase a game digitally on another xbox one (let's say you are at a friends house) you can only play the game as long as you are logged in your account because otherwise you could simply download it on 100 xbox ones and all could play the game for free then.
