I wouldnt care at all, especially if the games get a positive benefit in performance because of it. I definitely dont see it as something get all riled up about. |
Microsoft is banking on exactly what you have just said. As I also wouldn't notice it either. I am always connected anyways. But this will end up affecting people who buy used games. I don't buy used, hell I only buy digitally now. But that shouldn't make me ignorant to what this could end up doing to everyone else that isn't like me. cause where this will end up is that if someone buys used, you will have to seperately buy a game server pass or some shit like that. And we are right back where MS wanted us all along. And more disturbing is that since this will pretty much mean that used games or piracy becomes obsolete, everyone else will follow suit. And gone will be the days when you could just play a game without an internet connection.
In a grand scheme of things, this isn't god for gamers, great for platform holders and publishers though.
