Microsoft can't get a break
So for the past few weeks we've seen the outrage over Microsoft's DRM and used game policies, and now that they've changed them, people are upset about the features lost with the reversal of the policies. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT FROM THEM?!

It's the Internet. It's like a stereotypical wife. She yells at you because you never buy her flowers. When you go out and buy her flowers she complains and accuses you saying you must be guilty for something that's why you're buying her flowers. It's a lose lose with this place.

An option " offline" mode where you have to use discs, but can still play, and a "family" mode where you can share games, give your friends games, not use discs, all that awesome stuff, etc.

5 RepliesI wanted to be able to share my games with my family/friends; I wanted to be able to access my library from any console; I wanted to be able to send or sell game licenses digitally; I did not care about the 24 hour restriction because there are numerous ways to deal with it. It was a tradeoff for truly next-gen features that I was willing to live with. Now, because of all the complaint from people who were probably unaffected by the 24 login issue, none of those features will make it. It is basically just an Xbox 360 with new hardware. Would an online requisite effect some people? Yes, but they could have implemented a feature to disable those sharing abilities if the host console did not check in every 24 hours. Meaning, military folks could play games with their disks and MS wouldn't have to worry about them letting 10 people install the game while they run it locally, offline, with the disk, because after 24 hours of silence from the host's console, those features would be inactivated.

Edited by Commander Tempu: 6/20/2013 9:59:20 PMProblem is when you put stipulations in that is not feasible due to life happening. What about guys in the military or People who travel allot or even areas where Internet does not exist ? Being able to take a X-box any place and game,watch movies ect on it should be #1. Internet is a bonus but that should be up to the Dev and if they are able to link up to internet and X-box live. Thing i loved about every X-box is you could take it on the go. The thing is Microsoft needs to talk to real Gamers not entertainers. Not people who get paid by X-box but average joes like you an me. I hope they do bring it back but in a more moderate way. Thing is you have it extreme way or the more relaxed way. If you can find a middle ground i am sure people will be open minded. They were against used games and wanted to force people to go to where they said it was ok to trade in there games. The Check ins with the Security Features made me feel like i was playing my computer as was having to be online. All i ask is to be able to play games take my X-box where i want and have fun. Heck if i go to some ones house its cool to hook up the Next Box with or with out internet as one cannot know these things in advance all the time. Pro tip i do not mind buying digital copy's but i like to play it off line if i need to. Things in life happen. Things we cannot expect. If a situation arises with a roommate not paying a internet bill that is a problem. The new one just did not account for the Human or Weather Factor. What if a tornado prevents you from accessing the internet. I just ask my system is flexible to meet my gaming needs as well as give me entertainment should i be unable to connect to the internet. Disks are a good thing as you can put it in and not have to be Connected to X-box live constantly.

protip: different people have different opinions

Well, people never get wjat they want, instead they always have to find something new to argue about.

I was against the 24 hour limit but I like the new way games worked. It's still a net gain for MS in my book, but it would've been more points for them if they were still treating games as digital as well as physical property.
-
Okay me I'm sad that the features are lost an I've supported them the hole time and I'm sad but guess what now the Xbox one is a better ps4 so suck ps fan.
-
now the people who liked being xboned are complaining. maybe they should just go to an s&m place and have someone treat them like crap

3 RepliesAll I wanted was the damn 24hr bs to be removed but they messed it up again

5 RepliesI really don't understand why people like you have to view the world in such a narrow fashion. Is it that hard to understand that some people didn't like the DRM, and some people liked the benefits that the DRM would bring?
-
4 RepliesI want them to allow me the option to disconnect my Kinect from Xbox One and let me play my games without it. OPTIONS.

3 RepliesWhy are you so narrow minded and assume that everyone thinks the same.

1 ReplyDude, it's the internet, most people don't take time to praise things, only complain.

1 ReplyA shame, the DRM was one of the very few positives about the Xbox One, now it's gone, PS4 all the way for me.
-
1 ReplyNo. No a small group of people on the b.net boards are upset. If amazon did another poll I bet a lot of people are happy over this.

entirely created by microsoft, themselves.

3 RepliesI'm confused what did the Xbox lose? How can I not share my games with my family. Why can't I just give my disk to my brother?
-
The people upset are the ones like me who didn't have a problem with the new policies, as well as the people who didn't know what the 24 hr check and used game policy were there for.
-
1 ReplyI was ok with it just the way it was. I was actually looking forward to the fully digital next-gen Xbox. Not an updated 360.
-
They put themselves in this situation.
-
They really can't. They put themselves in a position where in order to remove several negatives they also had to remove some positives.
-
A compromise.

People don't know what they want.
