ok so now that the storm has past.... in all honesty who that DRM policy would have hurt???? I mean really???

cause DRMs have been present in many media markets now and nobody has actually suffered from it.... I never watched that many movies legally than now same goes for listening to music....

before you go bashing, me I plan to go DD only so the DRM change doesn't really concerns me....

but if I look at my habits today I don't see what would have changed for me and probably a huge majority of the 70 millions of gamers on XB.... I personally buy used games from gamestop and trade them there when they have good deals, I rarely lend my games to more than couple people that have been in my friend list for more than 30 days and I mostly (except one) buy games new (still sealed) on eBay..... all those things would have still be possible with the DRM policy in place and arguably could have eventually driven the price down(yeah I know it has to be proven)....
but still concretely what would have fundamentally changed for the majority of consumers???? and that haven't been already enforced and accepted with other media ????? cause people selling used games on eBay is a huge minority especially AAA titles... it's inconvenient for most gamers

those question are aimed at the majority, meaning the entire 70 million not the couple millions of hardcore that don't go through usual retailers like gamestop...
