Report: Microsoft To Drop Used Game Restrictions, Online Requirements - News - www.GameInformer.com



In what might be the most dramatic reversal in the gaming industry, Microsoft is reportedly changing course on many of the concerns related to the Xbox One. These include a 180 degree shift on used games and online requirements.


According to a report published on Giant Bomb, Microsoft will be dropping the 24-hour license renewal "check ins" we were told the system requires. Additionally, retail discs will be handled identically to what we experience now on the Xbox 360. This includes trading in and loaning to friends. An internet connection will only be required when setting up the console, and region locks will be disabled.


This news follows our interview with Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer, who assured us that Microsoft is listening to community feedback. We've reached out to the company for comment.


Looking very good for Xbox One again. Esepcially since Sony's latest PS3 update is bricking PS3's they are just not software people. Leave that shit to MS

Microsoft: We are wrong, Sony was right

Sony: LOL, we're still $100 cheaper and more powerful and don't spy on you with kinect

The fact they even did it in the first place is a big "fuck you" to anybody who bought Xbox360. Shits wild

They had to be FORCED to change by the people.

Tbh i think all of that DRM shit was a big ass marketing scheme. Someone on reddit forecasted this like 2 weeks ago.

MS fucked up bad but at least they admitted to it, listened to the feedback and changed. A lot of companies are too arrogant for that I.E. Apple. It's a good move for MS and Xbox One.

Agreed. Fair play to them, but I'd imagine they are still gonna lose some sales based on the first fuck you they threw out there. They should win back a fair amount of their fans though.

SCEA is too arrogant that they don't even realize they are a Japanese company

The damage is done. And most people already chose based on price..

$100 cheaper, more powerful, mostly same games. You'd have to LOVE Halo to buy Xbox One
