The point of video game consoles was meant to be a simple plug and play way to game.

Not all of this bullshit.

I'll simply vote with my wallet.

The roughly $5000 I spent on xbox products this gen, will now go somewhere else.

What bullshit? You put the disk in, it starts playing...it installs while you play and you don't even notice it. You go to your friends house, and you both play any game you own together as long as you log in with your profile...which you would since you collect achievements and want to access your freinds list.

Otherwise I guess you will spend 5000 dollars on the WiiU(and quit gaming after that), as I see Sony implementing the same DRM setup with PS4. If they don't they are just limiting their own game sales and making sure prices for their games remain high thanks to the likes of Gamespot.

If my girlfriend wants to play a  game on my xbox with her account does she have to pay?

If I want to borrow a game from a friend without them being in the room will I have to pay?

If my internet connection goes down for more than 24 hours will I be able to play?

That's what's bullshit. These are the reasons people stayed away from PC gaming.

If Sony do the same thing I'll buy a WiiU.

DRM can suck my balls and these companies won't get a fucking cent out of me.
