And here comes the spin-posts....media gotta keep the Doritocracy appeased by making sure that ad money ain't put in jeopardy.
Spin them posts, Kotaku...spin it like you mean it.
THIS.
I'm tired of people trying to drag Sony's name through the mud because MS is already splashing around like a buckwild pig on spring break at a dirt farm.
Sony has no mandatory online check-in but if they did then it would be a no-go for me.
Seriously people? WTF is wrong with you?
"Games are all that matter."
Really? Dang...I'm glad you guys weren't around during the suffrage or civil rights movements. That kind of attitude would still see women restricted to the kitchen and any non-white race as slaves or unfairly treated.
Dang, this corporation is LITERALLY stripping you of your rights and setting a precedent in restricted consumer products and turning that ...

Doesn't matter if that's how some people view it. If you're strapped for cash you can still buy games off Steam for a few bucks. Not sure when gaming became so exclusive, especially given that a lot of popular indie titles are made by poor people. Ironic, no?
A large "upfront" payment for the console can be saved up over the course of months.
In fact, Boogie/Francis the Nerd had a good video on explaining how w...
You forgot poor people.
FINALLY, a website that gets it!
I'm tired of shills trying to spread fud saying that the XB1 and Steam are the same.
NO THEY ARE NOT.
Steam has competition from countless digital distributors. There is no competition for digital Xbox games. Microsoft controls the marketplace for their console.
You don't get mods, open platform convenience or the ability to backup and store your games or play backwards compatibility o...
E3 2013 predictions? Microsoft takes out a shovel and buries the Xbox brand.
And the shill strike begins...
They're trying to sell you the Doritos man, don't buy it!
#Laysforever!
The small sites are fighting back hard. Sorry guys but you're gonna have to bring some big [logic] guns to this fight.
Dorito Pope ain't gonna take this lying down. Microsoft will use his evangelical presence to unleash some big announcement that will try to convert haters into fanboys.
The fallout now is pretty bad, but a bunch of big sites will run to MS's defense once they figure out how to spin for them.
Guys, don't join ...
Prepare for your popular sites to be invaded by shills like never before.
We already know about a few of the games. The new IP is Ryse, that Disney Fantasia Kinect game and Quantum Break. That leaves 5 more exclusives and I'm not holding my breath for them to be good.
The rest are probably going to be shovelware or some sort of Cloud-based MMO crap that only rich people with fast broadband will be able to afford to play.
Yay for trouncing on poor people.
Even if the other games aren't Kinect trash, MMOs, ca...
You shills keep getting it wrong.
The PS4 and XB1 are NOTHING alike with the DRM.
You can rent, borrow, trade and play PS4 games without it being tied to your account. Please stop spreading misinformation to smear the PS4.
I'm no Sony fanboy but it really does bother me when people purposefully spread misinformation to spin perception.
Sony said they wouldn't ban used games and that it would be up to the publishers.
They mentioned this back in February and reiterated it once again to let everyone know they WOULD NOT be doing what Microsoft is doing with their DRM.
Wow, the PR spin in this post is unbelievable.
Dude, it's SOPA in a box. WTF is wrong with people?
It's anti-consumer.
When the servers shut down YOU LOSE ALL YOUR GAMES. PERIOD.
This is a sick thing to do and a sad day for gamers.
I was hoping Microsoft would renege on these policies and at least make the XB1 consumer friendly out of the gate.
Apparently if you're not rich, American and enjoy football with a very high-speed connection, Microsoft doesn't want your business.
If Microsoft says "screw you" to all who doesn't fit within their aristocrat demographic I say "screw you" Xbox O...
PS4 exclusive 'cause MS don't let indies self-publish and this is indie.
Crazy that indie titles look like AAA titles and MS will be missing out on ALL these games (i.e., Primal Carnage, too).
Snap that looks awesome. This is exactly what Sony needs to show at E3.
Dat music was freaking epic.
So much I didn't understand but wanted to play the game to figure this thing out.
Now that's how you do a trailer.
If I could stand up and give you a digital ovation, I would.
We really need to end the Doritocracy, it's getting out of hand and this post signifies the same fears that I have: that the shills, the contranians (as you put it) and the lazy folk will ruin it for us all.
Too few people seem to understand the precedent of the Xbox One's policies. Too few people understand how this will affect ALL the people you just named in your post.
Brilliant...
