Hmm, I see your point. That kind of feature is just ridiculous if they actually plan to implement one.TheSonicRetard wrote:This isn't discussed in an article, but it was actually a patent:Sano wrote:Didn't really have plans on buying a Xbox One, as I dont care for Xbox consoles. If I do ever get a new console, its just more solidification behind getting a Wii U.
On a similar note, I don't think anyone brought this up as I didn't read it, but if someone did, sorry. I was informed that the XBox One's Kinect is always on, and if you're watching a movie with 4 people and someone walks in view of the Kinect, it will stop the movie and make you pay for the 5th viewer to continue. And at prices up to $5. Anyone have an article that confirms this?

That doesn't mean this is a part of the Xbone, it hasn't been discussed. Microsoft and Sony patent stuff all the time, but not all the stuff they patent actually gets used. I could point out a number of devices patented by both which never got implemented.

Video games are my profession. I make games. This stuff affects my livelihood.

Even if you did win the lottery and some how never experienced a single server drop, are you going to somehow pretend the issue doesn't exist? Turn a blind eye to the mountains of evidence that this is a problem because you didn't see it with your own two eyes? Do you expect your lucky streak to continue and that these problems which affect millions will never hit you?
The point of bringing up Sim City DRM wasn't for you to be think back about your own experience with the DRM, it was to point out how not-uncommon this problem is. That's like saying cancer isn't a concern, because I don't have it.
All your comments in this thread seem short sighted and narrowly focused.
The intent is to demonstrate the outlandish nature of your flippant attitude. Nowhere did I equate cancer to DRM. You need to work on your comprehension.
It's not that it "can," it's that it "will." And that "an inconvenience" is actually "obsolescence."It is possible it can become an inconvenience. But, as I mostly care about my enjoyment of gaming, it will not have an impact on that. I have played many online only games and enjoyed them, getting some of the best bang for my buck. I paid $60 for Diablo 3 and played the hell out of it with my wife and friends/family and had a blast. More than got my monies worth.
...I didn't enjoy Sim City 3 as much, but it wasn't because of the online component.
Sim City isn't Sim City 3. Hell, Sim City wasn't even the third sim city.
wow.I am not sure what winning the lottery has to do with anything.
Will. Not may.And sure there may be some server drops.
Such as...?There will also be added conveniences and features in an integrated online console like this, so the trade off may be worth it.
I'm not trying to argue that you love these decisions. I have made absolutely no attempt to claim that. I don't even care that you like or dislike the xbone. I'm simply correcting your hand-waving of the issue, because, despite your dismissal, this is a big deal. These problems are real. And they do affect everybody. Whether or not you see them as a deal breaker or not is your prerogative. But don't pretend like there aren't very real issues with this.EA did make a mistake in Sim City, and MS may make a mistake here. You are trying to argue that I love some of these decisions/announcements by MS, when I merely find them mildly annoying at worst. I am also a long time MMO player, so I am used to these gaming scenarios.
I haven't told a single person in this thread how to feel about the xbox one and this DRM. I have, however, argued against dismissive claims that don't gel with the reality of the situation. If you want to buy this box and support this stuff, by all means, feel free to. But all your posts have equated to "stop complaining." You don't get to do that just because you aren't upset about these changes.dsheinem wrote:I think all you've done in this thread is tell others how we should be reacting (with raaaage!)TheSonicRetard wrote:You can go ahead and stop telling me how to react.dsheinem wrote:it's just video games. chill out.

What games have you made? Are you developing a retail title for the Xbox One? Shoudn't you learn to adapt to industry changes to be successful in the future?

Those all seem like suggestions about how we should feel.

I'm not trying to insult you, just trying to figure out how their decisions affect you and your livelihood if you aren't actually working on an Xbox One game or haven't been working on similar platforms previously.TheSonicRetard wrote:Your tone about my profession is insulting.
