meh, give VGaming about 20 years and DRM will cease to exist. I say this because what follows in incredible insight from a nobody :P
All games on all consoles will be online. All games even single player will have some of the logic come from remote servers. All games will have online elements. Online gaming will be everywhere . Offline games will be considered antiques. Why this isn't DRM? in another form. Simple because there will features to all games that will be standard that can be only provided by being online. Like talking to other gamers online. Similar to Live in concept. Thre will be things like Dynamic Weather, game play update, new Achievements. There will also be other different elements like in game access to Daily scheduler, TV Show times, essentially non game related material. Ok ok, 20 years might be a bit soon, but it will be standard. Not only that when the time comes it will have been so gradual no one will have noticed. Much like no one really noticing the Console become PC with HDD and game patches. That were vehemently spoken against years before it happened and how NO ONE would ever by a Console that was more like a PC. Oh how times change when the product itself comes out.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
