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. 

What the heck are you on about? The only reason MS mentioned their family plan is because it DIDN'T EXIST until after they removed the ability for it to happen. If you've got something that might persuade people to accept DRM do you:

a/ announce it before you remove DRM

b/ announce it after you remove DRM

It was a complete fabrication to try and make those that were against DRM look bad, and for a while it actually worked because you got complete idiots who wanted DRM back. MS play their fans like old fiddles. It was BS just like when MS announce Twitch for the XB1 just because they saw Sony announce Streaming using the share button. That's why Twitch didn't launch on the system. They were waiting for Twitch to supply an app and THEN it was included. MS play this game all the time and the fans eat it up.



 

The PS5 Exists.
