Microsoft has gone full retard!

This article sums all the reasons why microsoft has gone full retard!

Not buying xbox one. I'm too lazy to give a shit beyond this thread just to shit on microsoft for their boring decisions. They could've added in naked girls but, nope. Just some boring shit. Thus, full retard.

However for people who buy the xbox one is even more retarded than microsoft.

I wanna see sales figure after it goes on sale. See how much actually buy it. I will go out and buy liquor if none gets sold at all.

Xbox One, you dismissed from my list of potential buys of this generation.

All that's left is PS4 thingie and that new wii thingie plus Ouya and sexbox. But I haven't checked up on those four other competitors just yet. Will eventually.

Wait...there's actually a system being made that's called the Sexbox?

Well the last I've heard of it was from 2009. >_>

Well, if it's naked ladies you want, I'm pretty sure Microsoft added some type of flash player to play more online videos, thus meaning more porn sites. Also, if its the gaming part that you're worried about, they said that they were going to release much more about the gaming experience at E3 in June.

Does the part where you pay for license to play a game fail you?

It means you don't own the game, you're "renting".

Well, I think that all the stuff about the non-backwards compatability is all myth because I don't remember them saying anything about that in the reveal video

I don't buy used games nor share my shit. Sucks to be poor son. Plus magic of the net... year later you be able to play iso/rip or bootleg.

Faggot, even if the 1 was any good, you wouldn't be buying it, since you'd still be stuck on your dumb nude mods on the PC.

3/4 of my games were bought new, and the rest was used because I was too young back then to own a credit card to order games off the internet. Retail don't carry everything. And for the games I like, I typically have to order them in the first place anyways. But I simply don't like how microsoft treats me like a pirate so I just chose to opt out of the system. I won't even pirate their games lolol.

And plus it doesn't help the matters any about console gaming being inferior to pc gaming by default. I cannot play Tech48 on xbox one for starters!



But hey, Putting on a pirate costume is more fun than to follow some old fart's rules.



Iknorite. But xbox one chose to suck instead of being good thus, I get to shit on them for fun.

I agree, I was going to get a Xbox One but now I wont.

but TV!

and Kinect!

Don't care, i only use my tv for playing my old games these days. Otherwise it just stays powered off.

Clearly you missed the big fucking memo on how all commercial virtual goods are sold. Whenever you purchase any piece of software you are likely only getting a license to use that software, you don't actually own any of it. If you did "own" it that would mean you could just rip the code, put a different name on the product, call it your own and redistribute it. It doesn't matter whether you get your game from a retail store, Steam, D2D or any other outlet, you're only getting a license to use it, you do not own the content.

Whoever wrote that article should be fired, clearly they don't know a fucking thing about the industry they're writing about.

/rage

I'm well aware of it.

I'll have a look at the article later, but it sounds a bit fucked. Just when I was gonna buy Xbox One.

Then why the fuck are you shitting on them for doing something that has been going on since the inception of virtual goods?

So Dvds is virtual goods now?

So used game is to be resold as a brand new game?

You support microsoft's attempts in destroying the used game market?

You wanna pay 60$ for a used game?

Way to dodge the matter at hand, a poor attempt at saving face but whatever, I'll answer your questions anyways.

DvDs are just physical mediums for the transportation of virtual goods, when you obtain a DvD, you are obtaining a virtual good and you pay for the license to use the virtual good on the DvD, not the fucking two cent DvD. If at any time the two cent DvD becomes damaged, a new one can be shipped out to you at little cost.

No, I don't support Microsoft's attempts at destroying the used game market, because Microsoft is not destroying the used game market. Do you honestly think a company would do something as stupid as completely destroying their reputation within the electronic entertainment world? Furthermore, the title of the article is "What we THINK we know about what Microsoft isn’t saying about the Xbox One.", not "What we KNOW Microsoft isn’t saying about the Xbox One."

In case you missed English 101, that means everything within the article is completely unconfirmed and the writer is likely just jumping on the MS hate bandwagon to get more hits on his stupid website.

I do not want to pay $60, or $20, or $40 for a "used" game, because first and foremost, it is illegal. Within almost every game's ToU it says you are not allowed to resell the game under any circumstances, and this clause has been in almost every game's ToU since the days of the NES, probably earlier. Second, when I do that there is no legal transfer of rights over the virtual good, the person who sold me the game still has the license, not me. Part of what Microsoft is trying to do is solve that problem, so that there isn't this giant cluster-fuck of license mismanagement and contractual breaches going on.

If you want to point your finger at someone, point it at the mega-publishers like EA who are the ones pushing for Microsoft to do something about this catastrophe.
