JUST KEEP DIGGING MICROSOFT

Omg cat~ xD

Apparently Microsoft lost alot of money from people buying used games so they created the xbox one to stop this from happening.

 

If it was just the used games, I don't think the backlash would be as bad. Except for the fact that most likely they would still cost 60 bucks.

It's the fact that they're talking about forced Internet, a Kinect Camera which I heard rumors counts how many people are in your room and will charge your account if you have too many. A whole bunch of other factors and requirements. I personally wouldn't buy the system because my budget doesn't allow me to buy a new game and not sell the game if I don't like it. Some do, great... They can do what they want. I live in an area with bad Internet that can go out for days due to storms. Some don't, great... They can do what they whatever they want.

But it ticks people off having these kind of choices forced on them and being told they're not "worthy" of having a product because they live in a area where they can't meet the standards of the company. Just the DRM can piss a lot of people off because 500 gigs with blu-ray games will basically be at max ten games with nothing else. I kid you not.

These policies are called console killers. They will stop people from even thinking about buying the one. Not including some executive who doesn't know how to not shut up standing there yapping about not knowing what it's like to live on a nuclear sub defending this country. And/or the men and women overseas fighting in a war defending this country. That's what's ticking a lot of people off.

And also, look at the reaction Sony got when they publicly spanked MS on stage. Really spanked them. It took five minutes for the cheering to stop when they told them that they are not doing any policy MS is doing, yes, they probably threw that in from the reaction from MS. But they had a right to, they knew that would help their sales and they knew that's what gamers want.

At the end of the line, it's the gamers that matter. The people that pull out their wallet every day and buy a game/console/whatever. Forget the critics, the people who get money from this, this is the people who like me and most likely 90% of the people who go here to play games and have fun without having to worry about when the Internet goes out, or when MS stops doing servers for the One, or when MS's network is hacked and crashes, this is about these people who are the huge majority of gamers that are being screwed by these policies.

Anyone, anywhere, anytime can have an Internet problem. My modem dies every two years, it's down until I get a new one. That will make me have a 500 dollar paperweight. The people with poor Internet, they will have a 500 dollar paperweight. Anyone who has a storm hit or even an earthquake which is massively common in California, they will have a five hundred dollar paperweight. The people in the armed forces CAN'T EVEN THINK about buying the system because of the regions they're in and don't have Internet who depend heavily on games for entertainment and relaxation as a reminder of home. I have two friends in the armed forces and one thinks this is as funny as hell and is angry about it also, not including what he thinks of Mattrick's comments about the sub, and he's a huge fan of Xbox. There will still be people who buy the system thinking it will not happen, and when it does, they'll probably be the first one complaining to MS about what happened.

This isn't something that's: "Oh, we're losing money so we're making your life hell." This is: "We want you to be what we want you to be and give us more money when our system crashes because of all the requirements or because you don't play by our rules and suck it the hell up."

 

No, publishers are BLAMING used games for why their multi million dollars projects aren't making them money by reaching outrageous minimum goals, and Microsoft is trying to appeal to them with this used game stuff

 

I totally agree with you, dude...

I just realized the fact that it's not Indie Friendly means they have less competition. They don't have to work as hard and have less to compete against. Some Indie games, (Braid coming off the top of my head) were so spectacular that it's still going strong after all these years. Who still plays CoD MW 3 except for multiplayer as often? Who BUYS COD MW right now? Who buys ACIII? Who buys Halo 4? Maybe I'm wrong, but I see it dropping constantly on Amazon. The developers want to not compete against people who have a chance of making great games for the system and ousting them out. Survival instinct.

Prices are dropping faster, there was a debate about whether or not it's going to drop next generation. Maybe it won't. But I think it will and there still won't be people buying the games because there's just a lot of games stagnant, like Final Fantasy which might have some life breathed into it, SE is holding the cards with that along with KH, which is why MS made a deal with them. AC after III I really have no interest in because of how bad III was. Halo even though I liked 4, a lot of my friends didn't at all and are looking for other series.

That's a sign the devs are doing someithng wrong and are blaming the consumer instead of themselves for it.

Sorry for the rant. =3

 

Hey you alright there? Never knew one could piss sooo many people off.....
You know you would make a great public speaker for speaking for those against one haha.

It' s The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt, but that' s an interesting slip of the tongue. ^^

BREAKING NEWS: Microsoft to go into the lucrative mining industry. Will they succeed?

 

I didn't mean to offend anyone, if I did, I apologize and someone can report it and have it removed.

Sorry about that, Patman. I am one of people who haven't kept an eye on the game nor am googling this every time I mention it. I just thought it was an interesting note.

 

Think I'll just add this in here.

Nintendo: Devs concerned over used sales should make better games

 

Mmm ? Please, that' s nothing to apologize for. I actually thought it was an interesting slip of the tongue given the context, otherwise I wouldn' t have bothered to post just to point out a typo.

 

Also:

 

Can you give me a link to that twitter Midnight? I want to send that to some people outside the site. That is just, wow...

I know, it was a big typo. :P A pretty big one. lolz... Guess I should make sure what I type next time.

The twitter is here but you'd have to search for those replies https://twitter.com/XboxSupport/with_replies

Thanks Midnight, I appreciate it.

I don't like what's going on and am trying to keep other people updated who don't know what's going on outside the site.

This is a big, deep grave. I actually never saw anything like this.

 

Admittedly though I found this:



http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/54648/ms-confirms-xbox-one-family-sharing-feature-allows-up-to-any-ten-people
Which seems to be a really good feature and makes up for the used games thing, it also means you could just go to your friends house, and access your own game library from it without bringing the physical disc. It's probably the best thing they've done but hardly anyone knows about it. I don't understand why they haven't been showing this off. Though I don't think it makes up for everything else they've messed up.

 

Seriously? They're just stupid!

Not that they don't like it, it is just complicated to emulate something your system doesn't do natively... because your Pc is way better than a Gameboy/DS etc.. you can emulate it without any major problems, but even being better than a Ps3 it is difficult to emulate because it isn't all that much better.

So it would be expensive to do it, and people wouldn't be prompt to pay it so they are looking for alternatives.

ps.: Gaikai doesn't need that you have a Ps3, they probably have some Ps3 system that will stream the game over the cloud.. at this point we don't know if you will have to pay for it or not (maybe if you are a Plus gamer you don't need it),
