In the end, a lot of us wound up going full digital and GameStop is dying so whether they changed or not, the world is going the way they planned anyway. They just said it in a way that pissed everyone off.
DRM was bad PR that the media latched onto but there were other issues that combined to kill them this gen. The lack of power, the focus on multimedia features, Kinect 2.0, media attacking the controller (saying it was worse when it was really muuuuch better), lackluster exclusives, etc. It was just a shitstorm. I don't think much would have changed.
