You are absolutely correct.
But with that said, I was hoping to get a head start with the Xbox One. I see lots of different hardware being able to play Xbox One titles in the next 20 years.
Like I don't get it...before this DRM change, did people think that in 7-8 years Microsoft is going to stop and say:
"Everyone stop what you are doing! Here is a new piece of hardware with new DRM. Please rebuy all your digital titles that you already bought and are following you through the cloud because now they have to go through a different cloud"
Makes me wonder if people are in touch with reality if they think Microsoft is going to shut down servers and move to a different cloud next gen...
Now after the DRM change, I don't know WTF is going to happen with the Xbox. It works the same way as the old Xbox360 so they can pull some BS and reset the whole thing. Half the titles will be digital while the other half physical...they may do some crazy, jump through hoops policy where you mail them the physical game and they give you a digital coupon. God knows... When there is no platform consistency, the whole experience tends to get diluted.
I'd love to argue intelligently with someone about this...instead of the usual "DRM is the devil!! You're a fanboy".
