What would you have done if Sony had joined Microsoft in killing off used games and game sharing?

Would have pissed me off a bit since I sometimes trade games with my friends, but I don't buy used games so it wouldn't have been that big of a deal for me. I rarely play consoles anymore though so that might be the reason why I wouldn't care that much. I've had a PS4 for more than a month now and I haven't played it once. I also haven't played my Wii U since a bit after Mario Kart came out.

The deal breaker for the Xbox One for me was the online check up thing. Not so much the no used games. So if this scenario of Sony joining MS in killing off used games used the same online check up system then yeah I wouldn't have bought a PS4 probably.

* Buy the way you want—disc or digital—on the same day

* Access your entire games library from any Xbox One

* Share access to your games with everyone inside your home

* Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere

* Trade-in and resell your disc-based games

* Give your games to friends

 

MS had everything covered but were unable to comunicate it with the internet-mob. 

We would have all the pros of a modern system for the cost most of us pay when we use Steam or AppStore.

*EDIT*

it would be even better than Steam as you coud sell your disc-based game, and give it to friends. You can not do that on Steam can you?

Let's not forget:

*Any disc based game is useless after installation.  Requiring the publishers permission to trade in a game (at participating retailers only)

*24 hour check ins... "as if you're an ex-con, and Microsoft's the fucking parole board"[Jim Sterling]

*Required broadband connection

*$100 peripheral no one asked for required Kinect required

I think MS "communicated" everything juuuust fine.
