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.
