Forums - Gaming - Cliffy B shares his thoughts on Xbox One Losing Used Game DRM Restrictions: “More Studios Will Close”, Microtransactions Will “Skyrocket”

And more:

 More studios WILL close and you’ll see more PC and mobile games.


I have seen the number of unique gamer tags vs actual sales numbers and it ain’t pretty.


At the end of the day many hardcore dislike what was attempted. You can’t do well in that space with many of your core unhappy… Especially when users have a choice. The nature of capitalism encourages competition and Sony played into that.


Brace yourselves. More tacked on multiplayer and DLC are coming.


You’re also about to see available microtransactions skyrocket. HATS FOR EVERYONE.


I want *developers* who worked their asses off to see money on every copy of their game that is sold instead of Gamestop. Fuck me, right?

*Sony* forced Microsoft’s hand, not the internet whining.


You’re going to see digital versions of your favorite games with added “features” and content to lure you to digital over disc based.

If industry has to prevent me from selling, trading or giving the games I bought in order to survive. Perhaps this industry needs to die, not the used games market.

"I have no job" -Cliffy B.

Though he might be right on the "more incentives to buy digital" part. Just hoping it's price and not "extra content"

Shut up Cliff.

Your flat out wrong. And I HAVE seen how pre owned effect the new market. It helps it immensely.

Trying to argue that people should give up their rights to help the poor game developers is frankly pathetic.

Streamline development and cut down the rediculoisly bloated budgets. Problem solved.

the guy seems extremely pissed off. the question is, could this ever hurt the potential of him working with sony?
