I'd see it more as selling you're membership to a service. If I have to have daily authorization to use something I don't see myself as owning it, though I do realise not everything falls clearly into a black and white ownership situation for me personally this feels more like a service. I only consider it as owning games on the PC if I have a DRM copy of it that the publisher cannot prevent me from playing. Games I buy on steam I consider myself paying for access to the game rather than having ownership of the game. |
MSFT isn't keeping you from playing the game. You are allowed to do with the game as you wish. It is just like steam with the verification on the install. However you can not resell games on steam or PC at all. This allows you to resell your games. So in other words it is like Steam but with a little more options. The whole topic has been blown out of proportion as this is nothing new. Just for consoles. Sony has even said they are letting publisher/developers do the same thing. This generation will change the way console gaming is forever no doubt about it. But im sure both MSFT and Sony will offer great games that gives people a reason to buy these consoles FOR GAMERS.
