You know what the crazy part is, that people seem to ignore the fact that Sony implemented project 10 dollar, they the ones that actually patented DRM on their console while MS has done neither but some how Sony gets  pass.  At this time, Sony either has DRM or they do not.  At this stage they are waiting to release that Info and they will let the Xbone take all the heat before they state how they do it.  They will make it seem like its fair but it will be the same.

People keep forgetting that Sony sells a lot of content that they want to protect.  From movies to music, TV shows and games.  Sony was the company to put a root kit on peoples PC if no one remember that whole fiasco.  Sony is not this altriistic company but instead a coporation just like MS.  I would highly be surprised if Sony does not have DRM on their console and it will be simular to what MS is doing.  The difference will be that MS will have everyone install the game on their console while I believe Sony is not going this route.

Well, first of all, there is more piracy on PC.

Then, well, most pcs are connected to the internet right now, and people don't see reason to have a pc without internet, so always on is less of a hassle.

And finally, the steam sales.

Oh, and pc gamers are rich.

So that some how makes it ok to think it's going to cuase damge on Xbox One?

Personally, I look at everything from a business standpoint.  I neither praise or condemn because there are a lot to the issue besides what gamers want.  In a perfect world gamers would be able to get all their games free or for pennies.  Gamers talk about how the publisher are greedy but they do not recognize their own greed.

Used games used to be a very niche thing that turned into a billion dollar industry.  When I go to Gamestop, they push you to buy the used game over the new.  I joined the power up club and I get used game points.  On my birthday, I received a 20% off a any used game instead of new.  It use to be that only Gamestop sold used games but now you can purchase them in grocery stores.  While the used game market is great for consumers and retailers who see those games, it kills developers and publishers who spent millions to make that game.

People point to steam saying that well we can get games cheaper thats why we accept the fact we cannot sell our games but then again isn't that the reason Steam can go that route.  Usually those good deals are actual deals which last a very limited time.  Publishers feel they can still sell games that no longer sell for cheap and still get paid and those games cannot be traded or sold to someone else.

People have used other media like DVDs, CDs and books.  DVDs cannot really be used because the creators make the most of their money at the box office so DVD subsidize their profits.  CDs have had some digital growth problems until Itunes came along.  Books on the other hand really never have this problem as most people probably purchase new and the cost to create the material is no where close to video games.  Actually if you look at it, Video Games are more dependant on retail sells than the other media.  DVDs has the box office.  CDs creators have their concerts where they make their money.  Books more on retail as well but the cost is much lower.

So to sum this all up, there needs to be a balance to the 2nd hand sell now that it has compromised the creators ability to make a profit.  If everybody gets what they want besides the creators, well the system cannot continue.  I am not saying MS  way is right or wrong, its just a way where we might see many different scenerios that come into play to solve this problem.
