Another Serving of DRM, Please!

I was just sitting, chilling and minding my own business, until I found an article about people trying to bring back the old Xbone via petitioning. After giving it some thought, the most appropriate response would be this, I figured:


After all the trouble that people had to go through, and now we have a bunch of self-important, insa-... Wait, let's get through this.

So, there are a bunch of people who are DEMANDING the return of previous Xbone DRM policies, i.e. the 24-hour online check-ins and all sort of other bullshit. This bunch deem the original Xbone to be the future of consoles, and the way forward for the industry.

Let me say this right now - you people are insane.

The Internet was at one point filled with people raging around in analysing the immense failure that is the old Xbone, and you somehow managed to forego all that. Really. Your eyes are only set on the family sharing nonsense, WHICH WE KNOW would be taken down eventually. You keep talking nonsense about cloud computing, Gaikai's forte... which Sony owns. Why haven't they pushed it? Oh well, maybe because... They know it's not a whole lot of hoopla? Ask any tech geek. Ask them about the potential of this whole "cloud computing" bullshit that Microsoft is trying to sell. 

*sigh*

Look. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, fair game, but can you really say objectively that the pros far outweigh the cons, in the case of the old Xbone? I agree to a certain extent that the ideology that is the old Xbone, in some form of shape or manner, is the future of console gaming. Thing is though, the market isn't ready. Consumers aren't ready for it. Look at the bunch of pirates. Look at them. No, not yet.

I am not going to get an Xbone, even after they went back on their original policies. Do you think others are going to get the Xbone if this petition is passed? Hell no. Microsoft will receive a shitload of pre-order cancellations. You think they'll do it?

By the way, stop accusing PS/PC users of this heinous crime. We really couldn't care less, Microsoft dug their own grave far too deep for us to meddle anyway. Also, if you are a self-important tech geek who is overtaken by the urge to "push tech", and thus are pushing for this petition, please hide yourself. You don't want angry people to be coming after you, do ya?

*SIGH*

I don't know man... I am tired. Spacing out a little. This piece of news is really... wow. Just, wow.

WELP! The customer is always right, even if that means they are stripping others' rights as consumers!
