I don't care what your background is, how can people support this? I guess loyalty does wonders for companies and governments, no matter how wrong the cause is.

Why would I let something that has no negative impact on the way I play games bother me? I should refrain from buying an Xbone because little Timmy in rural Kentucky doesn't have stable internet and can't figure out how to go into his phone settings and tether it to his Xbone? I should turn away from some of my favourite game franchises like Halo and Forza because of DRM? I still buy movies and music and I don't fully own those either. As long as I can play and enjoy them that's what's important to me.

Well why should it be acceptable? I understand you like Xbox and i respect that. what i don't respect is that Microsoft or any company thinks they have the right to impose such things on all of us. What if the successor comes out to the Xbox One and Microsoft just turns off Xbox live for Xbox One, rendering all your games and your Xbox One utterly useless? Wouldn't that piss you off? Especially, if you wanted to go back and play them, not like you could sell them because of these measures. We don't know what Microsoft could do down the line. Although, i hope they don't do that. Also, enjoy your new system.  

It should be acceptable because developers, artists, etc deserve to be paid for their work. How is it fair to someone who's putting a roof over the heads of their children with money made from developing video games to have one person buy their game and then pass it around to every friend they have so that they can all enjoy it for free? You don't think it's more fair that they should at least have to pay something for that privilege?

With all of the developers that have been losing money hand over fist for the last few years, how can you deny that used games/lending games might be a slight problem? And trust me, I hate to be the guy defending massive corporations, but I'm trying to look at the situation objectively. I like free stuff too, but I don't believe I am entitled to it at the expense of someone else.

The developers already get paid and they get paid decently. They are just getting greedy now. They should be grateful they get anything to be honest when less people can afford to buy their products. I mean what's wrong with lending to a friend? We share things you know, it's apart of human nature. I guess the rich have lost that part of their morals, if they have any left. You are saying about lending games, but how is that different to books, DVDs or music? People that work in those industries don't complain, do they? Piracy is more of an issue here, because that can reach 1000's of people instantly dealing lots of damage to a company. A group of friends is usually no more than 5 to 10 people, so is not the same. Also, Microsoft here is against 2nd hand games, which are not free by the way. And no they don't damage gaming companies, otherwise you might as well say Youtube is too and all those livestreaming websites where you can watch videogames being played for free are too. All these things spread awareness of these games and act as free marketing, which is surely not a bad thing. Don't you think the huge budgets for AAA games do more damage to developers? Since it's harder to make profit as many more copies must be sold to break even. That's fine for big and popular franchises like COD, FIFA or GTA but not a new ip or smaller franchise.

Also you never answered my question. Wouldn't it bother you if you couldn't play your Xbox One games anymore because the service got turned off?  Which would happen when the new system comes out, if we get that far.
