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.



Of course MS is not deliberately keeping me from playing the game, that would be a terrible business/PR decision. It does not change that I am dependent on MS daily to play the game. I am allowed to be annoyed by things on principle. I don't think that outside of my account being hacked or a few other specific situations MS would turn my video game collection into a paperweight, but never-the-less it urks me that they could. Also I don't feel I have true ownership of the games.
