Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Killer Instinct DRM? Non story. PS4, PS3 and 360 have exactly the same DRM. Move along

Yes, it’s DRM, but it’s the same sort of DRM that you’ll find on the Xbox 360 right now. Or the PS3, or PS4 for that matter. The Xbox One in question here, was not the one originally used to download the game, you see. If it were, the game would have been tied to that console’s ID (and the originating profile), and would never need to check for licences, functioning just fine without an internet connection. It’s actually more lax DRM than on the 360, which requires that the original purchaser be actively signed in for the game to be playable.

What it seems to be, is a case of the tournament organisers downloading the game to multiple consoles from a few originating profiles – and then not making sure that the console’s had authenticated the game for use in time. If each console playing the game had bought the game’s Season Pass (to get all the characters) then it wouldn’t have happened.

MAN THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLETE AND UTTER USELESS PEOPLE CALLING THEMSELVES JOURNOS.

And this is (almost) EXACTLY what I said.



Dude that 1st DRM Killer Instinct article was troll bait, and not even good troll bait. You shouldn't address it.

Im not addressing that. Im addressing the hundreds of Sony fans on loads of other websites that are claiming the video footage is happening with other reports and that its DRM and Microsoft lied. Just type it in on Bing.

Only to find that actually Xbox One has better DRM policy than last gen on Download titles.



NOT PS3, but yes the others work the same

Yes PS3. Download titles that you use on another device can at random ask for confirmation. This is a fact.

Nope PS3 has 2 licenses works only on the first 2 consoles you download it on, and works fine offline, you can get consoles deactivated to reuse licenses. 



Your title at least, is as much a lie as the other "story".
