I think the point that gets people most upset is being treated like criminals.  It's like the cops knocking on your door once a day to make sure you're not breaking the law.


Tell me this " do you think it is right fro a person  to borrow firneds copy of the game and finish single player an plays hours of multiplayer without havging to paya single dime for the game amnd relies on doing that? Do you think thats right and legal? No it looks like  games today are reluctant to change. its obvious that we will eventually get to that stage in gaming where everythign will be on interent and everythign digital.  It almost as if gamers want to saty behind and not progress/ The days that we had back in the 80s, 90s and 00s are not goign to stay forerv. As technology so will the ways we will game.  Stea, does somethign imilar to what MS is doing. I have a friedn ho is harcore steam fan and he after lookng at MS policy said it reminds him of steam. He said the policy are not a big deal . My friend hates consoles and oves pc and he veen consoles conssle gamer infidels noobs but after watching xbox one E3 he preordered xboxone  which will be his first console purchase in his life lol. The checkign s bewcayse you are using teh ctsuss from tbhe cloud so they are just making sure no one is stealing the game for free. I am sureyou wo 't even relise it happeneing while its being performed in background whil e playing

Yes, I think it's right and legal to loan a game to my friend without them paying a single dime.  Or a movie...or a book.  It gets them engaged in something they may have otherwise just passed over otherwise.

I loaned my copy of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune to a friend who had never played it.  They liked it so much they went right out and bought Uncharted 2: Among Thieves thereafter and preordered Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.  Now that friend is getting The Last of Us because they've become a fan of Naughty Dog's.  That's 3 games from one studio that my friend may not have touched otherwise had I not loaned him 1 game for free.

Sharing is part of the experience and what gets us excited and engaged in our hobbies, and Sony gets that.
