We own nothing with DRM...and no it couldn't have worked online because they cannot watch you which was their full intention despite the DRM. Microsoft was going to play Watchdogs, and you would be the apple of their eye.
Its amazing that once the American company joins the gaming industry once they attain power they start telling gamers what to do and how to run their experience. No...if you want our money STFU and make our lives easier so we can just enjoy the benefit of being gamers. Microsoft is no company to tell anyone what the future of gaming is. Creatively they arent even great at making games and their only good at OS, thats it. Who are they to tell us what is the future of gaming? They told us Kinect was and it wasnt. They sided with EA and Activision against us and Sony stood up for us giving the people a company to rely upon for some sanity even when Microsoft pressured them into paying for multiplayer. At least Sony gives us a choice, if you don't like multiplayer, don't pay for it and theres plenty people who play on PS brand products who don't. Microsofts no one a choice, its either you're in or you're out. They've never been on our side, they aren't thinking about whats great for our future, only what gives them and the corporate fat cats more money. They can have it if they earn it but figuring out ways to overwhelm our rights is not the way.

Sony's hands aren't clean either. Don't think they're going to champion any kind of consumer's rights with such past scandals such as the Rootkit DRM scandal. Their intention was to force more physical media distribution from Microsoft because they make money that way (see: BluRay royalty/licensing fees).

Sonys hands are not clean, but the difference between the gaming industry is that gamers speak loudest with their wallets compared to any other electronics following. We have a larger, smarter, more active following and Microsoft just got a taste of it. Sony is no angel and I am not saying that. We can all keep listing the reasons...but Sony with the Playstation knows their place. They know what happened at the beginning of the gen with their slow start and its all their fault. They've gained our respect back.

To some of you, they never lost it in the first place...
If you're going to parade around about consumer's rights, maybe you shouldn't go back to the biggest violator of consumer rights within the span of less than one generation. It looks hypocritical....
