There was obviously something wrong with it because they hardly ever talked about it and when they did it was always very vague. I think everybody was just waiting for the inevitable 'but' because it was way too good to be true.
Microsoft probably realized it couldnt survive the blowout of the revelation that the only positive benefit to their drm strategy was just a smokescreen and scrambled o change it.
What I dont understand is how microsoft even went down this path in the first place. Doesnt a big company like this have access to market research that could tell them that it isnt going to work? Or how the months of negative reactions to rumors of the features might represent consumer interest? Honestly, I think xbox has some pretty sick games... But they appear to have some serious issues with their leadership.
