You don't need to explain the difference between the two. Most of the "leaks" have pointed out the required connection for the Next Box. It's not as if these sources over the last 12 months simply confused the Always On to mean Required Internet Connection. Whether it's was something Microsoft was thinking about, then later got rid off... or will go through with is unknown as of right now. Do I think Microsoft will do this? No. I think it is such a bad move that they couldn't possibly go through with it. But that thinking doesn't discredit all those many sources over the last 12 months. Yours doesn't either. |
It's the same DRM that exists with the Xbox 360.
No, you have speculation. You don't have credible sources. The most credible source there has been for the next Xbox has been Super DaE and even HE has refuted the notion that it required an Online connection for DRM. The rest are anonymous sources unable to provide evidence or proof.
Again. Your sources for the original rumor is Stephen Totillo at Kotaku. He speculates that DRM would be always online. That's in 25, January, 2012. It isn't until 3, February, 2013 that The Edge staff through a "credible source" confirms that the next Xbox requires an always online connection for DRM. No proof or evidence is given, just confirmation of an unsubstantiated rumor originally incepted by Stephen Totillo. A few months later, you have Kotaku using additional "credible sources" to support the very rumor they began.
Yet all through this, you have a credible source, since everything he has produced has been 100% accurate so far, saying he saw no evidence of always online DRM, as well as several other anonymous sources currently working on games for the system saying the same thing.
You can't have two camps saying two different things. One is right and one is wrong.
