that is an online drm...i would need to connect to the interent for that to work and Sony has stated you can play the ps4 OFFLINE. im talking completely offline...meaning used games would work because there is no authentication that can go on if you are playing single player

Exactly. Some dont undestand that thus far the console needs to be online for DRM to work. If Sony was implemented DRM the whole system would need to be online once every 24 hours just like MS, which alienates millions of people worldwide who wont have adequate connection. Chances are high that third parties will have online clients that do the DRM checks themselves and not Sony.

Here's comes the problem. 90% of a console's library comes from 3rd parties. What happens if all publishers do it? That means practically every game on your console will have DRM. Sure, you will be happy with the 1st party games and indie games, but all other games will be blocked by the publisher, making the console a first party machine.

MS sold themselves down the river, if third parties know whats good for them they'll abandon MS when shit hits the fan for their sales next gen. These third parties only have balls because MS gives it to them. Tell me...since when did EA implement all of these "rules" and extra "payment plans" until MS joined the gaming industry?
