they didn't give 1 single love about their customers and tried to completely love you over... and now they'll change their policies just because they're afraid the xbox one will flop please stop the profanity.-k8smum
and people will come running back and forget about everyting
pathetic
I think this is the only thing they could do at this point to make me respect the company less. If nothing else, I can in an odd way respect Microsoft's insane ideas. If anything, it'd make them seem less like a parody of business greed if they actually stick with their policies like they actually believe in anything beyond short-term profit. The risk of it is honestly the only thing keeping the Xbox One interesting instead of just a technically worse, more expensive PS4. Though I'm certainly the minority in that case.
You would respect them less for listening to consumer backlash and adopting more consumer-friendly policies?
At least this makes some of your other peculiar philosophies make a little more sense.
Well in one aspect. In many other aspects I wouldn't respect them, but in terms of actually having your own vision despite harsh criticism, I can respect that. On some, odd level. Just in that one though.
Also, because if you think this will lead to some major change for the company and they won't try something so blatantly greedy again, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No.
As one of the Xbone's harshest critics, them reversing course because of mass criticism is positive for the consumer. There's nothing pathetic at all about embracing a better product.

This is probably the most ironic thing I've ever read coming from you.

Exactly. They listened to people and changed their course for the better.
Microsoft has changed its policies regarding Xbox One’s internet requirement, used game restrictions and more. Contrary to the details announced earlier this month, Microsoft has now confirmed news originally reported on Giant Bomb that Xbox One will no longer require an internet connection to play offline games or need to check in every 24 hours; instead, internet will only be required when initially setting up the console. Like on Xbox 360, "playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray."
Xbox One will also no longer restrict used games, and will instead allow discs to be exchanged in the same way they are on Xbox 360 with no additional restrictions for trade-ins or lending games to friends. The system is also no longer be region locked and all downloaded games will function the same way whether your console is connected or not.
No 24 hour policy, used games and rentals are fine now. These are great things, no matter how people will try to spin this.
Yep good and with that I'll probably be grabbing an Xbox this fall. Sucks they got rid of the awesome sounding game sharing feature, but again the console microsoft wanted is at least ten years in out from being a reality.
WAT!

The sharing feature isn't too bad of a sacrifice though. Only one person could play at a time anyway, so unless you're continuously swapping games with a friend across the country, its not much greater than just swapping discs.
Besides, they knew that would be exploited by people just adding other random people. It would have been regulated a lot more than they were letting on.
In addition to this, the only other 'positive' offered by MS for the always-online thing was cloud services, which can just as well be optional. Plus this guarantees they can't tell us to screw ourselves when they shut down their servers and we want to play single player games. All around great news.
I still won't get one at launch in spite of their initial stubbornness, but I'm much more likely to pick one up later on down the road though.
Its also Region Free meaning Nintendo is the odd one out on that front. (and oddly enough their the only ones with a Japan only game I want currently in DQX)
