| richardhutnik said: Any idea what will happen after the XBOX ONE is done, and they have moved beyond the ONE to something else? Is there any guarantee that the content you bought will be playable on the next console, or even if the XBOX ONE consoles will still work, and they keep the authentication servers up? Or, will they patch the system so you they don't need to check the authentication servers which they then could eliminate? Anyone have any idea what Microsoft would do? Or is it, as people tend to say, by this time, your games you buy no won't matter anyhow, because who plays old games these days, right? |
Well, Microsoft has a track record here already.
When Microsoft ceased the PlayForSure DRM solution and moved onto the PlayReady DRM solution, all the content available through PlayForSure worked with PlayReady. If Microsoft ceased using the DRM solution on the Xbox One than the content would still be accessible using the new solution's servers. The content itself would still be playable on the Xbox One, the servers and the services themselves would just be different.
