As glad as I am that they're getting rid of the always on BS, this is pretty weak. Funny how Sony screwed both of them :-D

^ I admit, I lol'd. :-D
I feel kinda ambivalent about the whole thing atm. Shitty DRM management aside, things like install-to-HDD, game registration + download-from-anywhere, the 10-member free game/DLC-sharing library were genuinely good ideas, and it appears that they've scrapped all that.
It feels like rather than improving the core digital distribution concept, they've done away with it entirely, which I don't believe was entirely the right choice to make. I think we simply needed more options, like an offline mode as a contingency - and now instead of offering anything novel, we just have two next-gen consoles pretty much only comparable by their hardware. Hooray for diversity.

It's not like we gave them much of a choice, is it. Any attempts at minor modifications would probably just have resulted in hate, with people proclaiming it's still a piece of shit. The internet forced them to do something drastic.

They COULD have kept it like that and taken away the DRM and connection issues. I honestly don't see why not. . .
