You'd unplug itso it doesn't hear and see you? Isn't that going into tin-foil hat territory?

If it's truely off, why can't I unplug it


It's probably required for multiple features for the OS and more?

How would it work then if it were to be truely off? If I can turn it off, why the need for it to be plugged in?

Judging by that response, I'd say you didn't even read the link I gave you. If you didn't bother, what's the point? You complain and get given a solution, yet still complain? Please...

MS has made it clear you're buying a license key and that gives you access to the game. The disc is basically just the install. Clearly you don't have an understanding of what false advertisement is. I didn't see people getting this worked up when we saw these same practices in PC gaming.

(If you haven't noticed you're clearly getting upset because I don't agree with your point of views. Personal attacks are going to change my mind.)

I didn't say this was false advertising derp.

"It is disingenuous of a company to claim that they are selling a game to you which, in reality, they are only loaning to you."

"It's also your choice to pay for a product that is marketted by false advertisement that doesn't make it good."

It was certainly implied. Anyhow, you made no good points and you've clearly given up. Nice talking to you buddy.

It's not a solution if you can't unplug it.

You didn't give me a choice to stay, just made my job easier to leave sooner saying I said things I didn't. Enjoy having people not wanting to reply to you.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
