Multimedialover said: Lol at some still not getting this or trying to twist it. And lol at drm fears. Xbox one sounds truly amazing. On all fronts now. 10 people can play from the library at the same time, but cannot be the same title. So games like multiplayer halo will require multiple copies for online play. think of it as giving your disc to a mate. You can no longer play that game because you gave over your disc. Same as only 1 person can play said game in list at a time. this will stop not only used games but piracy to. All in all devs Nd publishers will make more money than last gen. I expect sales to be a bit higher of games next gen. Because the pirates will love this feature and buy some games now. As well as used sale traders buying games to. The balance out between less buyers and more buyers will balance. also this doesn't just apply to download only titles. Disc titles are installed to hdd. Where they will still be verified every 24 hours. You don't need the disc into play as you can switch between games instantly which obviously wouldn't work if you had to get up and change the disc. this is a great day to be a gamer |
Devs selling only 1 game when they could be selling 10 wont help them at all. Again this has been said 700 times, PS3 had a feature that basicaly allowed 5 ppl to share a game and the devs made so much pressure Sony reduced it to 2, MS is trying to pull 10 off and not piss off the devs ? Instead of selling 6 mil copys a game will sell 600000 thats a hughe freaking loss, no used games market si able to cut a games sale by 10 realy.
Also the linked "explanation"isnt oficial, so it can be totaly bogus, and alot of stuf are unclear like for instance I own Forza, I turn my Xbox on the morning and "my friend Bob"is playing my Forza and I go fck it, I want to play my Forza right now and I log in my account and kick Bob out ? Do I get locked out of my game ? Can Bob even play if my Xbox is turned off ? What if I travel and my Xbox hasnt mailled home for a week did I just screw my entire "family"? the thing is so nebulous and not well explained right now that almost all the amjor gamming websites have just said this thing exists and not even triedto explain the heck it is.
And if this feature was this freaking great MS would be shouting all over the place about it, E3 is gone it was the perfect time to reveal this, maybe it is something that allows for 10 ppl to share gaems and only pay 1/10th the game each but even so they lost the best oportunity to be ehard and now the negativity against them is enormous and ppl might not even listen anymore. Not too sure what Ms is playing at here.
