Gamestop apparently doing all it can to push customers away from Xbox One.

Nope...it actually renders buying used games pointless. Publishers and MS were trying to force DRM down our throats instead of making their pricing appropriate per game and becoming more competitive with how they make their games. Double Helix's Killer Instinct plan is an example of what I speak of, in which the game is free to play with Jago, but you can either buy the game full price or buy each character one by one. Thank goodness MS got slapped by the core audience because if they dont they will take advantage of not only us but the ignorant majority who MS will now depend upon.

well, if you think the option to buy killer instinct as full game or only parts of it, gamestop will be happy to see that more and more games will be full f2p and that for every system. publishers have all options now on xbox one and ps4 and they will surely use them to get their enormous costs back.

ps4 has already blacklight, warframe, planetside 2 and some more f2p games announced. something gamestop won't see a penny for.

Yes, but we're talking mostly microdigital transactions with F2P.  People need to be eased into digital, but I doubt they will relinquish their demand for ownership. Sure we'll buy some small games but the larger games hold value and sometimes arent needed. If you create a game with large amounts of value people wont trade it in as quickly, so MS, EA and Activision need to heed the message. Killer Instinct can still be bought in a box, but thats if you dont feel like choosing an alternate option. They game will be accessible anywhich way, kind of like going to best buy or buying things digitally on itunes, song by song. It works, but I wonder how invested MS is in this for many other games. They shouldnt have messed with used games because publishers are not pricing games accordingly with the utility of each games.
