lol so Tretton stood on that stage and deliberately mislead/lied to millions of people in regards to PS4 DRM. Hilarious. And yet some people will still applaud it. Someone should probably edit that Youtube video with an asterisk and put in "* - Depending on publisher."

Personally I am curious to see how publishers handle this. I can't see them not putting DRM on PS4 but then putting it on Xbone.

They stated in Feb it was upto Publishers.

What MS has done is implement MS DRM - 24hour check. Sony have not done that. This is what they have said.... "we are not doing Drm"... no one has lied.

I'm aware they stated in February that it was up to publishers. I am one of the few people here who has been saying it would be up to the publishers. Did you not see the huge reaction Tretton's slides and comments got here and everywhere yesterday? Or the many threads here leading up to the conference and the posts right after? People made the assumption that this E3 announcement meant PS4 would have no DRM on it no matter what game you buy. Because that's the way they presented it. Like I said, misleading and basically lying.

I am well aware Xbone has built-in system wide DRM. The 24 hour check in thing. I am more worried about what publishers can do themselves on each game. The fact that the PS4 allows them to do anything they can do on Xbone makes me feel better about DRM next generation.
