| endimion said: didn't sony and MS both said it will be pretty much up to developers to implement their rules ???? |
Sony said that initially (Since February), which is basically the same way things are with the PS3. Microsoft implemented a system to lock out gamers and control resale and profit off of second hand sales, which is grounds to a huge public suit in the United States. When the backlash occured MS changed their tone and said exactly what Sony said to calm people down, but system still stands. Everyone then turned to EA and EA backed off because MS was supposed to be fucking over gamers for them.
In the beginning the system MS had in place with the azure system. They were going to fuck over gamers and Gamestop in one fell swoop. This is why Gamestops stock dropped after this was announced.
