Fans Petition Microsoft to Restore Original XBox One Policies

 

Apparently there is a petition on change.org for Microsoft to bring back all of the original DRM policies for the XBox One.

The organizer for this petition, David Fontenot, demands Microsoft to release "the XBox One we were promised at E3.

“This was to be the future of entertainment,” the petition says. “A new wave of gaming where you could buy games digitally, then trade, share or sell those digital licenses. Essentially, it was Steam for Xbox. But consumers were uninformed, and railed against it, and it was taken away because Sony took advantage of consumers uncertainty. We want this back. It can't be all or nothing, there must be a compromise.”

So here we go again, after real gamers rallied for the gaming we know and love, someone wants to bring it back. I truly can't believe their are people out there who think that adding oppression to the one thing in this world we can use freely is the future of entertainment. Here's an FYI Mr. Fontenot, we weren't uninformed. We were clearly informed of what Microsoft was doing and we knew it was the such an arrogant, moneygrabbing scheme by Microsoft to dupe drones like you. Sony didn't take advantage of our uncertainty, they took advantage of Microsoft's stupidity by not being stupid.

However, I will say that I hope Microsoft returns to its old policies. There's nothing more detrimental to a companies credibility than reversing policies twice over the span of a few months. Who knows, maybe seeing the XBox One flop in comparison to the PS4 may be the kick in the ass Microsoft needs to do something intelligent for once.
