Something's been nagging me about the Xbox One information that's been released, not the reveal itself, anyone who expected anything other than what happened hasn't been paying attention, but it's the whole "Internet required" and "Used Game Fee" stuff... You see, we'd heard rumours about these things for months before the reveal, long enough for Microsoft to react to it, but now we're hearing that they've not only ignored outcry (Which they acknowledged with the removal of Orth) but are being especially vague about defending themselves for it, Microsoft aren't idiots, the marketing people must have pointed this out at some point. But those vague responses are where I start getting a nagging feeling: "We are still months away from the launch of Xbox One & policy decisions are still being finalized." That was my first irritation, they're pointing out the worst case scenarios as the main possibilities? Doesn't make sense, following that: "The hardcore gaming audience has given us some great feedback, and we watch that feedback carefully. I think they’ll be happy after E3." What part of the audience doesn't already know the games are coming at E3, the main issues are with the policies, throw in what the president of GameStop has been saying and well... So what's my theory? They knew this would be the reaction, they're building these issues up to distract from the fact they're moving to a more generalised console, and at E3 they turn around and say "We've changed our mind, these aren't in anymore, we listened to you" hooray for Microsoft, right? Maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist but I've heard of weirder publicity stunts... That all being said should I not be proved right those two things are deal-breakers, maybe I'm in denial, but it wouldn't surprise me... TL;DR Weird stuff happens...
