Straw men have invaded the "problems" as well. Read how stupid they seem and how easily they're knocked down by the solutions. And yet the bigger problems remain undiscussed. Issues of game ownership, of unnecessary cost, of the silence on whether the games will be fun. Even in the title he calls anyone who has a problem with it a "hater". We struck down Adam Orth and he became more powerful than we could possibly imagine. |
As I mentioned in the thread. If I missed a topic, or you feel I did not cover a topic fully enough, please bring it to my attention. Also, see my response to someone above regarding my use of the word "hater".
I am unaware of any issues with "unnecessary costs" with the Xbox One. In fact, many of the things I brought to peoples attention up in the OP are cost savers over current gen!
Game ownership is not really changing either. It is the same game ownership policy from this generation, if you had read the disclaimers from publishers before. Almost all software operates on the "buying a license" mantra. Especially steam! The only issue I see with MS's push to the cloud is that the 24 hour timeframe is a bit restrictive compared to Steam which I believe has 30 day checkin? This is likely something MS might change if the complaints are loud enough. Perhaps your home console should be able to go 7 days or more while your "away" account on a different console should be able to last 24 hours.
