1.His condescending opinion of me, coupled with a long rambling blurb about why I'm stupid for not thinking he's right, said in a tactful way.


2. I agree that a lot of the disagreements are over options, actually. Microsoft might have been accepted if they'd just offered the Kinectless SKU to begin with, and offered non digital options. Often for consumers it's the priciple of the thing, we just don't like to be told there's only one option when it seems like it'd be easy enough to give us more than one. I agree that the way you're proposing the industry could/has started going about it will convince some people, but convincing some people is not the same as consumer rights. I get that you don't care about digital or physical, but you're a fool for not caring. 3. You don't have the same rights with a digital game as you do with a physical game. Until we can get all the legal crap sorted out, we won't be able to create a system that would allow for consistently enforcable digital retail management that simulates the rights of physical property and isn't exploited for the company's gain. 4. Only then will universal adoption of digital happen.

 

 

  1. Funny thing is, in our entire conversation you have been the one being condescending. Like literally. I chose to ignore it the first time as not to detract. But whatever. And no one said you are stupid or you should agree with me. All I have done is say you shouldn't be this defencive as I am not picking sides, I am just pointing out something. You can choose to take it personally and attack the mesenger or listen and talk about the message. You see? Choices.
  2. Reading this I wonder if you really know what MS actually tried to do and what caused the problem. They never set out to make a digat only XBO. NEVER. The problem everyone had with them, was that they were trying to tie your physical games to your XBL account. 
  3. And you never will. Thats simply the nature of digital. There is just no way around it, if going digital your content has to be tied to an account. Or not what stops people from just copying their download for a million other ppl. Thats the funny thing about physical, the only freedom you really have with it is that you can carry the disc around. Yes, you can copy it. But you can't play it in its copied form unless you hack the console or copy it to another disc. And you can't copy it to another disc cause you need proprietary hardware and software. 
  4. You seem to have a lot of faith in people, and how much they really want to keep using physical discs. Try something, look for any avid PC gamer and ask him when last he has purchased a physical game.... 
And let me understand something, rather tha buy a console and use an external drive since you would rather use disc drives, because you don't want the whole digital stuff, you would buy the console and pirate (digital by the way) the game cause you are tryng to make a point? Ok... got you.
