That sentence makes my head hurt. So in order to extract a negative from your misinterpretation, you assume you're right and it will eventually be implimented, because DRM (as YOU still think it is) has been used before on Sony consoles. Then you go on to say it'll be praised to hell, based on an assumption, after you misintertreted this article and you would be right in the long run. But not only that, you then go on to compare our 'supposed' assumed reaction to Shareplay, as if in some way Shareplay was bad but we've now accepted it as good. We praise Shareplay because it's brilliant and we don't worry about this DRM because it has nothing to do with trying to screw the userbase over. We leave that to MS. I've got a sharper shovel if you want to borrow it. It'll save you a lot of time and effort. |
I mentioned that I jumped the gun on the article... The part you didn't bold... But I'll go on.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_pass
An online pass is a digital rights management system for restricting access to supplemental functionality in a product by using a single-use serial number. Online passes are primarily intended to hinder or discourage the second-hand sale of a product, and to allow the producer of a product to still return profits from second-hand copies of the product.
This practice exists (or one very similar) on playstation 3 exclusives, no?
Shareplay was recived as bad when ms wanted to do it first. I'll dig up the posts later. Though the services are different, there are similarities. I'm currently posting from my phone.
