Even If MS Were To Completely Reverse Their DRM Now, Would You Trust Them Again?

[Michael-5]

Microsoft burnt me on the 360, so I didn't trust them prior to the One reveal. One reveal kinda sealed their fate, and overall hurt them IMO.

360 burnt me because:

a) I got an extended warrenty and couldn't use it on RRoD problems because of MS's new extended warrenty. They refused to replace my original model with an HDMI model (which was my goal from day 1), sent me a broken model, and refused to fix it multiple times when the 3rd model they sent me started to break. I eventually got an HDMI model thanks to a nice floor manager at Best Buy.

b) Stoped producing good exclusives after 2010 (with the exception of Alan Wake). No more JRPG exclusives.

c) New policies on XBL suck. No more free to play online for silver members for games free to play on PC. No more free to play Halo on social playlists. No more discounts on DLC when old

d) New 1st party games have achievements which promote owning XBLG, or buying other games new (need Halo CEA new to get everything in Reach, can't get it used because you need to install the map pack, and play a Halo Reach Playlist)

e) Had issues connecting to my hotmail account because of "improved sequirity." Finally got in, but I couldn't activate an XBLG card for a month. Resolved that issue by changing my e-mail, but now I can't play games on my phone for a month until I can switch the e-mail back.

One still burns me because:

a) Killer Instinct is a freeware game, and not a full retail game.

b) Can't unplug Kinect.

c) Tried to get away with more burning, but the people had enough. They only buckled after a month of bad press, is this going to be a constant policy on MS?

d) What's going to happen with the $10 of MS points I have now? Can't use them on Mobile games or One...

Sony and Nintendo never did any of that, but Sony burnt me a bit too. My first gen PS1 & PS2 broke after 5 years, and my PS3 (which I bought used) broke after 2. However all were first gen, so I'll try Sony again with a second gen console.
