Is that the official excuse now. Microsoft supposedly planned this to look like heroes.
Talk about delusional.
I'm definitely interested in this. Wish I would have gotten a beta invite...
Make better games?
For the time it takes to download a 40GB game, its much faster to run to gamestop and pick it up.
Its a midnight release, not download till 3 am release.
You got cliffy all wrong, what he is saying is he wan'ts you to buy his new game Digitally with zero rights, for $80.00 brand new.
Because he needs a third Lambo.
Hey Cliffy did you see how bad XBONE preorders where doing with the DRM policy in place? You seriously think you where going to make more money when nobody was going to buy the console in the first place?

It will only be a microsoft problem, because Sony's first party sudios had no problem trying out new titles last gen. You can bet they will continue next gen.
I tell the gaming industry exactly what I tell the Music industry, negotiate a better deal with your publisher, they are the one taking all your money, not the consumer.
Especially if you are a well known developer with numorous AAA titles under your belt, you should have Z...
I fail to see how a console that tried to screw you over, got called out on it, and then backpeddled some how comes out on top the of the people who didnt try to screw you in the first place.
Jokes, just let it go... MS let go of the DRM becuase the pre-orders where a disater, they quickly glanced at the forums and realised DRM was partially to blame, so they nixed it. They ignored the Kinect complaints because the NSA > Consumers
They are not reading your pathetic posts, and are certainly not taking your idea and implementing it.
If MS put enough horsepower under the hood in the first place they wouldnt need to rely on the cloud.
They opted for cheaper parts, then still want to command a premium price at the launch.
The Xbone day one edition still isnt sold out on Amazon, so today must not of had too much of an impact on them.
I think the interest just isnt there, their exclusives just where not a great as they made them out to be. and the sales chart reflect that.
It's a glass half full thing. See Sony charging for online in itself, does kind of suck, but at the same time many of us already Subscribe to PS+ because of the insane value of it.
The fact that my Plus sub that I was going to have regardless, is also my free pass to online play, makes this great.
Sony wont have nearly as hard of a time explaining the value of their subscription service then MS would have.
Last gen MS took your money for...
Don't forget Windows 8. it's pretty bad.
Titanfall doesnt even have a pulse on the Amazon best sellers list.
None of MS's "Suposedly better Exclusives" are even in the top 100.
This announcement today hasnt even changed their fate.
Spot on! The Amazon pre-orders and the Poll they had shut down early is the only thing that made MS give a damn.
People where telling them Before the reveal they didnt wan't this, and half them refused to believe the rumors in the first place
I've gone through more bags of popcorn this last month then I have my entire life, watching this drama unfold.
After Microsoft tryhards spend weeks defending the "DRM OF THE FUTURE" they get burned hard by Microsoft.
The Power of the clouds knows no allies nor enemies, all get burned.
The "Enganced Edition".
You know i've had an orginal copy of Skyrim for PS3 since day one, after 150 hours i've not had a single problem with this game besides the occasional freeze.
There where frame rate hiccups at the beginning but the patches took care of those problems, granted you can follow simple directions. (save to new SLOT, load new save, problems fixed) It was that simple.
Yeah I guess, I don't give him a hard time or anything.
Link please?
