I actually have a PS4 and not an Xbox One, but if you followed the news then you would realize that discs could still be sold. You could even share games with friends through a family sharing service. Some parts I didn't agree with, like internet checks and mandatory Kinect, which pushed me to go PlayStation instead of Xbox, but the used game policy was not one of them. To each his own though. |
No...not at all. You have it wrong. MS was going to pay wall used games. You could not borrow your friends games nor buy them used freely. If you wanted to play a friends game you have to go to their house. The sharing was implemented so you could share with anyone in the house. This was MS idea of paying people back for paywalling used games when they know gamers today are mostly dependent on it. If this was a mistake, Gamestops stock price would've never dropped when MS was called out about it. MS never revealed this themselves largely to the media. One journalist spoke to an MS employee and he admitted all fo the facts and the internet blew up some time after MS revealed the Xbox One to a less than mild reaction because of its lack of focus on games. Even before that Microsoft never said a word to anyone about the DRM until the Adam Orth fiasco about always online. MS fired Adam Orth and disassociated themselves from him to save face for the sake of PR when he was arguing with the fans about DRM.
