Forums - Microsoft - Polygon: Xbox One policy "gross, despicable, greedy, pathetic, cowardly"

http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/7/4406170/xbox-one-internet-trade-policy

Quote:
After a month of vague corporate comments from Microsoft executives, we now know the Xbox One's game licensing policy was written from the ground up for companies. It's aggressively anti-consumer and anti-middle class, and it outright ignores underprivileged gamers. It's gross, despicable, greedy, pathetic, cowardly and out of touch with a growing global resentment for corporations.

The big gaming media sites catching on would surprise me, considering that they are basically just another marketing arm of the game industry.

Sorry for bad English.

 

 I mean seriously ? Polygon turning against the xbone ? Polygon ? Freakin POLYGON ?!



Well the brutal truth is why should they care about "underprivileged gamers"? That is a poor target market who will give you small returns. You will find 99% of all companies operate under that idea so why should gaming be any different?
