TheEvilDog:
Of course, then this popped up.
LTK:
Be honest, what did you expect to happen when you get banned from your console - not just xbox live?
Edguy:
Meh, Jim has some points at times, and is a great wordsmith, but mostly.. he's a self-entitle prick. His ridiculous amount of Xbone-hate is pretty tiring. Microsoft's biggest fault, is being horrible at presenting their product and predicting the reaction thereof, not being evil overlords that want to eat our soul and money.
ackblom12:
There lack of cohesion on their message is really really not the major problem here. It is a problem, but it's a problem that it's entirely theirs and has little to do with why the One is so problematic.

Technically, as a company that produces a product, they do want our money.
Which is the point of producer/consumer dynamic.
The problem here is that Microsoft made the number one mistake in business, they decided to dictate what the market should want. Which is pretty much the best way to lose that market. The whole thing about the DRM and anti-piracy was done in a ham-fisted manner, but the truth is, eventually there will be strong measures taken to prevent piracy; Microsoft just went in at the deep end of a shark infested pool, carrying bloody fish heads and wearing bloody aftershave.
There is also the idea that you are no longer buying games, you're renting them at $40-$60. So lets say the average gamer will have 8 games for the Xbox-One, and then they get banned, not from the game, but from their account. Say goodbye to that $1000 you spent on your games and console.
Microsoft decided they knew what gamers should want and now its coming back to bite them in the ass.
