Microsoft is apparently pulling back on every aspect of their DRM.

That's interesting and unexpected.

It probably will be - they want to be able to guarantee to developers that every user will have one.

That's awesome. Now they just have to allow you to use the system with the kinnect unplugged/disabled and I'll wish them all the luck in the world.

Well, this is good news. I still think the pricepoint is too high, though.

Yeah, I just have zero interest in kinect, and I assume that's where the extra price is coming from...so no way can I justify buying a more expensive system for a peripheral that I don't want.

It's still a rumor at this stage, but it's been confirmed by some pretty reliable "leakers" that the family plan sharing feature originally part of the Xbox One DRM would have only been 60 minute demos.

Convoluted was the name of the game for Xbox One DRM.

Some microsoft people have come out and said it was not demos, but you could in fact share complete games...but they have no reason to say it wasn't that, at this point.

I just can't see any publisher being okay with 1 person buying a game and 9 other people getting access for free.
