they also confirmed that if you go more than 24 hours without an online check, you cannot play a single player offline game until you reconnect.

To be fair no modern console is going to survive 20 years in an attic anymore.

So if my kid is playing any game in my library from upstairs, I would be locked out of the whole library if I want to play something else in the living room?
Not that I'm getting a x1 ever, but wow!

Put this together to educate your not so tech savvy friends
fuck that.
I'm waiting to see what Sony does but if they go down this same restrictive road, i'm out.
Don't think so. I can try to find his post where he said.

Do family accounts have to originate from the same Xbox? That's the way it seems to me.
How does it blow your mind? Those people defending it are banned because they were exposed as shills or plants.
This thread has opened people's eyes that there are shills and posters with a specific agenda here.
So I enter a paywall for online play and on too of that I need to be checked every day to make sure I'm still used the service I paid for. There is plenty wrong with that.
Back when I was hit by Hurricane Wilma, I got power back within days. I didn't get internet back for THREE WEEKS.
I would have literally went insane if I couldn't play my consoles in that period.
How much do you get payed by MS mang?
I want some free dosh. I'd say positive things about always online for a few bucks.
And this is why I'm subscribed to Angry Joe, hahaha. Oh lord, this E3 will be simply amazing.

To all people not caring...
Even if you're ok with most policies because you don't buy used and whatnot. It's not about you, its about an industry as a whole now. Its about protecting the convenience we currently have as a customer. Its about not letting this shithole happen. It's gonna be like a blackhole if we let this happen, it will suck in everything of what we know and like about console gaming.
Wake the fuck up and don't buy the Xbox One.
It's the one, the one chance we have to save console gaming. Seriously.

Playing devil's advocate, because I hate to see the overreaction:
-I can almost guarantee they will work out rental deals with redbox, blockbuster, gamefly, etc. They would be foolish to leave money on the table.
-Put a piece of tape over the kinect sensor if you don't want MS to see you in your underwear. It's not like they'll be recording you on some server. relax.
-24 hours of offline play: If your internet is down for more than 24 hours get a new provider. My PC is always online and that's where I game the most. You're not taking the xbox out of your house to go camping so what is the problem?
-You can still trade a game to a friend. Once it's theirs, who cares what happens to it next. And there will still be avenues to sell your games. Amazon, gamestop, CeX... they'll all be there.
-Sharing all your games among 10 people = amazing. I can see 10 of my gaming friends and I working out a system of who buys what. That's 9 less games we each have to buy. Makes up for the lack of trade-in.
...just holy shit at this whole post.
Because ton of people like me ingnored every negative thing about this game. I even payed 100$ for it. Though my problems were not connected with Always online but game itself
There won't be 12mln again with Diablo4 not after D3 collosal fuckup

Sony has already said their system won't require an internet connection.

You know it's kind of weird, for the publisher who was once all about standardisation:
- Every game will be Live enabled
- Every game will have achievements
- Every game must pass authentication
etc etc
To now this mess where you might be able to trade it in if the publisher says so. It's so unlike them. I fear the cracks are showing in their ultimate seamless experience.

I don't understand why that guy was shitting up the Driveclub thread, going on about Forza/Xbox (moreso Xbox).
I totally understand the people who think this isn't as bad as they thought. That's because IT'S WORSE. I am dumbfounded by this anti-consumer bullshit that is trying to squeeze out the consumer all the while giving MORE money to the already rich corporation.
Plus, after all this NSA PRISM nonsense, I 100% refuse to believe that MS wouldn't use Kinect to record whatever they wanted of you and your household AND have no trouble sending that data to the NSA at the drop of a hat because there will be nothing illegal whatsoever about that at all according to the Patriot Act. Soon you will have no rights to ANYTHING and you will have brought it all on yourself. Congratulations.
NO ONE should buy this all-in-one consumer-fucking, privacy-denying, piece of greedy corporation-empowering ass rubbish. Get the word out.

Whatever....didn't you have more important things to do than play your games? /sarcasm

This is where Jaffe's tweet comes into play. Publishers will disallow trades for at least the first 2-3 months (this is where they've said the bulk of New Games sales generate) eliminating this loophole before it could ever be used.
I, sadly, have a similar feeling. I think I am going to upgrade my PC first. Then probably pick up a PS4 at a later date.

Spent the last twenty minutes looking at posting history for ousted and banned shill accounts.
How obvious can some of these people get? Kind of gross.

that would feel like having your games held hostage by Microsoft.. fucking weaksauce man. do you see a goddamn timer counting down to the moment your game stops working? i'm only now starting to realize how absolutely awful this is. jesus christ, seriously.

This is what I've been trying to tell people. If you aren't supporting microsoft's business, they don't feel like they need you now. Its xbox business is Xbox Live.
If you bought a console from the and bought a couple of games (likely no one here), you are probably worth 50 bucks to the in profit.
If you only subscribe to Xbox Live, you're probably worth 20 time that.
Edit: I have not been saying that here.
What everyone who doesn't think that this is "that bad" seems to miss, is that nothing like this should even exist in the first place. If you purchase a game for your Xbone (or any other console) you've done your part and the dev/publisher got their money. What you do with your game after that is entirely up to you. Not Microsoft, not EA, not anyone.
There is nothing that justifies this.

With all this DRM stuff, I'd bet the XBone would be a prime target for hackers unless it flops miserably. Hacking the console would be one way to play its games once the authentication servers get shut off...

Ah, fair enough, thanks.
Its sarcasm. There's no way I'm touching this anti-consumer piece of shit. I want this console to bomb.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Make no mistake, if Sony does the same thing without comparative consume advantage, I'm switching to PC gaming only.
There at least there is downward pricing pressure, lack of monopoly, and increased likelihood of future compatibility.
