They tried this tactic with Windows 8. "Consumers don't understand, they just need to accept change and get educated!".

If they dropped the 24 hour check in... (Who has an Internet connection that never goes down? What company never has had servers go down and kept them online FOREVER? They killed any retro gaming essentially.)
Then I would imagine more people would be on-board.

I was thinking about the retro gaming thing the other day.  One of the great things about being a gamer is dusting off an old console to play a classic.  HD re-releases are great, but sometimes don't capture the fun of remembering the feel of the old controller, the "man, this takes me back" feeling, etc.  Obviously a lot of games will have no replay value 10 years from now due to infrastructure requirements, but I'd like to think retro gaming will live on.  Unfortunately, it may be a hobby that is dying a slow death.
