But worse than that, if MS ever leave the games business and decided to shutdown there servers, you will lose ALL your games, without the daily online check to keep your games active. Or just simple life things, Router breaks cant play games, changing internet provider cant play games, moving house cant play games, ISP fails cant play game, MS servers fail cant play games. IF they insist on having this 24 hour check system in place which is clearly only needed for this ridiculous trade in system to make sure your not playing games that have been deactivated, then online check should not be needed for games youve downloaded and online check should not be needed if you have the disk in the drive. |
Hmm, yes even the best case scenario I can think of for such a system (see my previous post) has this very bad achilles heel problem.
Imagine a psn hack and the system goes down for weeks. Nobody can play a single game.
Pretty much your $60 only buys you a promise from MS that they'll renew your 24h rental license indefinitely as long as you stay connected to the internet.
