Thursday Next Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 As far as negative:positive stuff spreading and being remembered. I read recently there's some psychiatric thinking along lines of it taking 3 positive things to outweigh a negative experience. (Hmm, it was on a google design blog now I think of it, it was a thing they referenced, either way it's a thing that is probably rather true). Anywho I expected this and here it is: "New Xbox 'a sin against all service members'" http://www.armytimes.com/article/20130614/OFFDUTY02/306140030/New-Xbox-sin-against-all-service-members- And I imagine within the US this is a pretty big deal that'll likely sway not just service members, but their family, friends and general population. Stands to reason. If my buddy, parent, child or sibling is in the forces then chances are I'll want to game with them. It might even be the only time we get to talk to each other. So if they can't get an Xbone then I'll have what they're having. Which means more PS4s for everyone involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Major Nelson said during that interview on the last page that if your Live account is banned you will still retain access to purchased Xbone games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 But he's a higher authority than the Xbox Support twitter feed, which is where the banning thing originally came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 If Major Nelson told you that you can avoid used game DRM by jumping off a bridge, would you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 http://kotaku.com/the-xbox-one-believers-513819282 A bit more discussion with The Phil Dis-Spencer. Basically a big discussion between Kotaku and him to try and calm consumers. It amounts to a lot of company positive speak and promises, yet not many concrete answers. But they sure do side-step issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 That's 14 minutes longer than I'm willing to watch. Let us know if anything major is mentioned. [Major Nelson amirite?] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-18-game-opening-xbox-only-store-in-london GAME to be launching an Xbox One only store in London. Presumably in partnership with MS (Same as Best Buy in US I guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Why would you do that? As a store I mean? Gamestop will probably be smart and push the PS4 and Wii U like a motherfucker while hiding Juan stuff away. They're gonna make little profit off it, unless MS has a sick deal for them. Fuck if I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm pretty sure one of Microsoft's blank cheques will mean you'll do quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm sorry HH but pastebin is as reliable these days as rumours that come from one's behind aka as some forums call it 'tales from my ass'. Game isn't doing too well so they'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I know. I don't think I worded myself right. However there are people who still believe in it. I recall all those fake ones right before the Xbone reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 So my Internet, while it has been working wonderfully for half the year, has been a bit sporatic the last two days. Xbone, do you see why I can't love you? I simply can't live up to your high standards! I can not delude myself into the Illusion of Control! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I don't know if it's new...but "Major" nelson back-stepped on the DRM.Basically said, "If certain publishers don't want the it[referring to AJ saying some publishers don't want DRM] we will certainly work with them" The fuck?

Mister Jack Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 "We will work with our publishers" is just a dodge. No way he really meant that, because it would undermine the console's entire foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Developers already don't like it. Look at CD Projekt Red who are pretty big advocates of anti-DRM. But they can't do shit because whoever their publisher on the Juan may end up being may want it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Guess there wouldn't really be a publisher clamoring for change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 EA is probably already pissed with Sony since I'm sure a large part they dropped online passes is in planning for future consoles. Then the PS4 came. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
