DRM is something that will happen in the near future. Miicrosoft was too forward thinking and gamers not ready to embrace change. Every time I buy a video game now I wish there was a way I could make my disc turn into digital and not have to worry about switching disc. But, because of some dumb gamer backlash that probably went on and bought a PS4 regardless I can't enjoy the joy that would of been given to me with DRM. More than half my games are digital now, THanks EA Access and Have already install a External HD to my XBox one. I can't wait for the future disc free world. Just look what happen to music and movies.... it's only a matter of time that games join the party. |
I think you're confused here.
DRM stands for Digital Rights Managment. The issue with what MS was planning was not because it was all digital, it was because the Digital Rights Management that came with it required your system to be Always Online for it to work. No Internet rendered your 500$ console into an expensive brick.
DRM is a necessity for Digital games, but since PC has been doing it for so long, they have made it more acceptable to consumers, low prices, offline DRM (like steam's), competion between GOG, Steam, Origin, Uplay, etc.
Monopolizing retail sales of full priced games that requires a persistent internet connection is a blantant ripoff, and cannot really be justified.
Not to mention, every retail game on the PS4 has a digital version, and its the same for the XB1 irc.
So no, DRM doesn't give you joy, and the justified backlash of MS's terrible blunder didn't only affect digital distrubution in a positive way.
