Ostro we have a right to voice our opinions when a company is changing the freaking industry as a whole for the worse. It doesn't mean that we are cry babies.

Some people who love gaming can't afford $60 a game and want to just rent games for some $ a month but guess what with M$'s new policy they can't.

Wanna share games with your college or local buddies? Well you gotta go through many loops in order to do it.  

And this is just the start of it. If people weren't vocal (cry babies as you call them) then the U.S. wouldn't exist. Slavery would still exist. Monopolies would still be ripping of customers and no one would do shit about it. Be Vocal and Be proud.

It's not "a" company, it's several companies. The major third party publishers (the likes of EA and Activision) demanded this and Microsoft didn't decline, because they need those companies' games. It's pretty shortsighted to blame Microsoft alone.

M$ could have easily said no but seeing as how they need 3rd party support they kissed ass and said lets do it!!!

What's worse is that MS itself is implimenting this with their games and no matter what requires a once every 24 hour check in. Plus drm is included with every game unless a publisher specifically wants to opt out.

OTH with what Sony has said, they themselves don't have drm with 1st party and drm is optional for the ones who want it and seeing the consumer backlash and god knows the backlash from Japan if square, konami, namco, capcom implimented this, I don't see most publishers implimenting this except ea/activision/ubisoft. IDK about t2, beth, warner but they don't seem to want to bother with this.
