It's simple economics, if you allow one person to buy a single game and then share it to 9/10 other people, do you think publishers/creators are going to be happy about that? With increasing AAA budgets etc.
There is indeed more to this story than any of us know, because publishers would not want this to happen. That is simple fact. There is no bias or fanboy in that statement... just using common sense.
The reason people are querying this is they have the same concerns and want to understand more. They introduced an online console to prevent game sharing/trade-in's. So now they also had a plan (before all this blew up in their faces) to be totally opposite direction... don't see it.
Most of my friends who are Xbox owners - 99% of them have said, what MS are doing is a joke. The 1% are still defending the company to the hilt.
MS has had ALOT of abuse the last few weeks, and i have to say most of it is justified to some extent, and much of it is NOT from so called Sony fanboys. Of course some people might be relishing the fact they have screwed up bad, the simple fact is they have screwed up.
Now i know it might be gutting for some people to keep seeing negative stuff about a console you like, especially if you didnt particularly like Sony... but let's get real, lots of people are angry and claiming that its all Sony fanboys is silly.
MS needs to get peoples trust back, don't blame people for not trusting stuff they say, when they have said what they have said in the last few weeks.
I mean if we go off what they have said over the years... I mean it's not like Kinect was what they said it was going to do, most people with tech info know the Cloud is a misdirection... so are you surprised people don't trust them?
