This is just another anti-ms headbash...

I wonder if he uses Steam?

His blogs/articles are always online... What a greedy and despicable bastard!


steam is completely different. It is far more flexbile.


With the offline thing?  I know you can still play games when offline. Is there a time limit?

nah as in steam has been aroudn since 2003 or so and I have had it on many computers in this time frame. With xbox one once the gen is over effectively is my ability to play xbox one games I owe as I won't be able to go online to verify or worst still if my box oen craps out and I buy a second hand one I won't be able to isntall those games on my second hand xbox.

With steam if your hardware craps out well you jsut buy another pc and link it to your steam account.

Even if valuve goes bankrupt I am sure there would be a bidding war to pickup steam. Steam aint goign nowhere where as xbox one service will die off after the gen ends. We even see it now days with current gen games. FIFA or WWE or example once the new versio comes out the online services are switched of for the old, forcing you to buy new one if you want to game online. THis is the way EA controlled you on a discreet level.

Yeah you will. You can play your games on a friends account while being logged in. I doubt they'd stop you from owning another console. I doubt the X1's design will die after the gen either, if anything I think it will stretch to at least 2 of the 3 consoles. Sony had a form of DRM on the PS3 already!


i meant when the generation ends and I want to replay a classic game but cannot cause of thr DRM. Like ATM I been plaing some PS1 and N64 games, with xbox one I will not be able to do that.
