Yea title says all. I'm sure it's all over the internet now. They're dropping all that stuff that makes people not want to buy the XBox One (still not sure about the must-have-Kinect part though). While it is a wise choice, it still left a dent in the gaming community and still makes us question, "Why did they even think about it in the first place?" http://www.gamesradar.com/microsoft-changing-unpopular-xbox-one-policies/
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CONSUMERS: 1 XBONE: ...STILL 1 BUT 1-1 IS BETTER THAN 0-2 (Then again PS4 is still 2-0 as far as I'm concerned so I'm probably still just gonna buy that.)
too late, the damage has been done. I'd love to see Microsoft attempt to crawl their way out during the next generation
Thanks Sony! Thanks to you there will be two next gen consoles for people to buy! Even though I am still getting a Ps4 competition is always great!
Here's my take on this. I honestly don't think Microsoft did this change because they actually cared about our opinions. I think they only did this because they were getting their asses handed over in pre-order sales and needed to fix that. I think they took out the game sharing because Microsoft wants it to be a "punishment" for us not embracing their ideas and giving all this negative feedback. On another point, the article Don Mattrick wrote about these changes (yes that cocky sh*thead at Microsoft at E3) makes it sound like it's OUR fault that the XBox One is losing all these cool new features (not to mention he wrote the article in a way that says that it's not his fault that the XBox one is where it's at now). He even says in the article that all these cool features are being lost because of our rejection of their ideas. In the end, it doesn't matter how many changes Microsoft makes to the XBox one. Many gamers out there have lost confidence in Microsoft, even after these changes. It's like starting a forest fire and taking out the fire. You got rid of the fire alright, but look at the damage. Who knows? Maybe they'll reapply all the stuff they took out of the XBox One a few years down the line. Either way, Microsoft dug a very deep hole this gen in gaming. I don't know if they can climb out of it.
^ Everything you just said I agree with you, Prince... I really didn't know Mattrick until a week when he decided to insult not only where I live, but two friends of mine who are in the armed forces. He made it worse and worse with his scathing comments and cocky attitude and I hope he really gets sacked, that EA pos. And yes, he did work for EA before joining MS as president of the Xbox division which probably explains a lot. Nelson I also hope gets fired. Someone again I met only two days ago and he ticked me off on how he treated a reporter (Angry Joe) by yanking the mic away from him, getting in his face and shouting things at him while being confrontational and basically having PR circle like vultures during the whole interview which made Joe horrendously uncomfortable which he mentions in his videos. Also, Nelson didn't get away with clean hands even forgetting the interview because of what he said after they finally shut up Mattrick he stepped in his place and dissed more of the fans. Not including Projekt Red which I'm sure still isn't happy with MS. Or Nintendo who had their Best Buy E3 event interrupted by MS harassing people who were in line for the demos.I'm sure Nintendo is going to give their own backlash to Best Buy and MS for their actions. You can't just fix something and expect it to be hunky dorey, life doesn't work that way. They need to apologize first of all and admit they ****ed up, because that's what they did. They ****ed up big time. I still don't see myself ever buying this system. An apology might work for some people, but there's too many people jaded right now, MS brought back some of their base, but now some are leaving because of the features taken or at least very angry about it. Tim of Ctrl Alt Del if you read his Twitters is basically being pissed at at anyone defending the changes who doesn't see his tweets right now because of the features they removed. That's fine, but that doesn't mean that a lot of other people aren't angry with what happened in the first place. Also, a lot of people just flat out don't trust MS right now. They see Mattrick easily putting this stuff back at a later date and they said even: "These policies are subject to change." That doesn't bring me reassurance that they won't keep this as it is. They want to sell the system, and I'm guessing if sales are good enough, maybe they will go back. For that alone, a lot of people aren't going to buy, including myself.[DOUBLEPOST=1371754135][/DOUBLEPOST]http://www.heyuguysgaming.com/news/12507/heartbroken-xbox-one-employee-lets-rip-must-read THE FAMILY SHARING PART WAS A LIE!!!!! It was A DEMO for the game. Depending on the game it would be 15-45 minutes to an hour and then they MADE YOU buy the game.
Oh wow, well, it is good to see them listening to the consumers but they seemed to give up very quickly. I wasn't going to buy it anyway and never was, I'm not an Xbox fan so this doesn't really change my view at all. I still see holes in the whole situation, it's sad to see all these peoples hard work being deleted so maybe they'll put it back on but if they did that then trust between gamer and MS will deplete quickly, like it already is. I quite liked the idea of the Family sharing thing, game demos are brilliant I think and it allows you to try something before buying it but of course... what if you have no online "family", you'd get limited demos.
If this article is true, I'm not sure because they said it was from an anonymous employee... The biggest thing is that they lied about it in the first place. They said family sharing was going to be full games, the employee said it was going to be demos. If MS doesn't act soon and this is fake, there's going to be a massive backlash. It's spreading like wildfire on the Internet. Considering what MS has been doing recently, I don't see them not going this low sadly. If they weren't like this in the first place if this is fake they wouldn't have people believing this.
