Funny story but whether a game has DRM is up to the publisher at this point I presume? I remember when my wi-fi cut out for a split second and NBA 2k14 booted me to the main menu as a result, despite playing just a quick match with my brother.

Oh more Sony supporters online on sites no one cares about making crap up.

I have had Xbox One since day 1. Guess what. Not one single time have I ever had a verify game message and had to verify. And I play Killer Instinct.

Also the Getaway PC $400 comment SCREAMS trolls. Some people are so desperate. WE DONT WANT A PS4, GET OVER IT. YES PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE A DIFFERING OPINION TO YOU SADDOS with these articles.

I can also confirm that while I was moving House between Dec 9th and Dec 17th I had no internet. I played offline Fifa 14, Ryse and Killer Istinct. All fine and all with no verify purchase.

So WE know the article is complete and utter BS.

That article is hilarious, It reads like cold war propaganda



“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.”

Lol people are so quick to meltdown that they can't even tell an obvious joke.

EDIT: That DRM is stupid though. Just like the DRM in NBA 2K14.

The website is a joke site, but this really happened (around 6:20):

yeah, very credible and trustworthy source with a professional approach. Jesus their first line of the article blows any credibility out of the water. The paragraph above is a pathetic.  


Troll article. The thread? no comment.

2 things here.

1. It makes no sense, that from launch this message would appear. It is not a disc based game and yet has a disc based message. This is not happening today. It could be a pre launch video not uploaded till recently. etc. etc. There is no DRM on KI. I know many play it and have played it without connecting to the internet for over 2 weeks.

2. It happened after the match finished. Which actually if DRM is the future doing it outside of gameplay is the best idea.

 

My guess? This is old footage only uploaded recently. Old footage of when DRM was in the Xbox One hardware OS ( Which it looks to be the case in the video ).

Its now changed to publisher based. So the DRM message would not be connected or tied to a message from the OS. Rather like it is in NBA 2K14. The message is in the game menus instead.

EDIT:

It did actually happen. And its now come to light that the PS3/360 had this as well with Download titles. Its sparodic. Not every 24 hours. And WILL not and as you can see in the video DID not happen during gameplay.
