| Darth Tigris said: So during the whole XBO DRM thing, arguments were that you didn't really own your games and that was evil, right? But when the same issue is brought up with PS+ and it's "free" games that you own only if you maintain your subscription it's a non-issue, right? Consistency is a bit much to ask of people I guess ... |
Different situations. PS+ has never been anything but advertised as a rental service, of course you don't own your games, you aren't paying for the games just the service. The Xbone DRM issue was that you were going to a high street store and buying the game, then it's installed on your machine and MS wanted to you check in with them every day to make sure that game is still yours. I can pay for a service like Netflix and I get to watch TV shows, but I've also bought the boxset of say Frasier, but the box set doesn't make me check every day with NBC servers to make sure I'm still allowed to watch it. I've already paid for that privilege (as I would when buying the game).
Why are so many people in this thread comparing different things to each other thinking they are the same? Xbox Live and PS+ are different. PS+ rented games is different to Xbox One DRM.
Hmm, pie.
