They were predictable and preventable. I don't know why they ever thought people would be ok with a PC type of DRM environment set with console pricing. Luckily they changed their tune or as I said back then, I would not own an Xbone.
Even worse than that attempted strategy imho is the complete and utter disarray the Xbox marketing was back then. Every other day it seemed you had different big wigs giving different accounts on features and policies. They did a very poor job of communicating with people that no, you actually don't need the Internet and yes, you can play used games.
They have rebounded so nicely though, amazingly even. Makes you wonder if they'd had this leadership and vision from the start where they'd be right now.
