Sony could possibly stop you from playing used games

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? 

And who says Sony isn't given this 3rd parties "the balls" they need? You have said multiple times that Sony was listening to 3rd parties feedback when making the PS4, why doesn't that apply now? Sony allowed EA to use online passes (heck Sony do it themselves), they will allow them to use any sort of DRM if they want. 

EA did online passes because both MS and Sony allowed them, and if Nintendo had better relations with 3rd parties they would have done the same. 

Besides, companies have numbers that speak much more louder than a thousand lousy gamers on the web: amount of piracy, revenue for new games, how much money Gamestop is making, etc. This companies will pay much more attention to those numbers than a #NoDRM petition on twitter. Not that I endorse any of this mind you, this is anti consumer at it's finest, but we really don't know if this will pay off for companies in the end, they might lose a thousand costumer, but they will get more profit.
