GameFly calls Xbox One reversal 'a win/win for consumers'
"I always felt good about the future of GameFly, but I feel better today," said Sean Spector, GameFly co-founder and SVP of business development and content. "Today is a win/win for consumers, as well as GameFly. I think choice is always important and now consumers have more choice. And I give [Microsoft] credit for listening to their consumers."
Spector was unable to share what he knew about the console's previous plans, but he notes there were discussions with Microsoft. He said, "I think the original proposal would have been detrimental to lots of people's [business] systems. Not just GameFly. And, most importantly, gamers. Based on what I've read today, which is all I know today, it's business as usual for Xbox. Their statement is really cut and dry."
GameFly plans to have Xbox One and PlayStation 4 listings up on the rental site sometime towards the end of the summer.
Asked if he had anything else to add about today's events, Spector concluded, "It's a good day for gamers!"

ThisIs50NinjaWizard-Live Well of course, if Microsoft didn't change they would lose out on a shitton of money. That puts more money in there pocket ;)
I still think that they are going to lose money, not as much as before though.
Yeah, because supposedly the PS4 is more powerful!
Not just because of that, but just because of how Xbox One started out. It got a lot of people upset.

GameFly is just happy they won't lose a lot of money. I never used GameFly but I guess the people who use this a lot are happy as well.

I wasn't even talking about Microsoft even though they would be losing money too, I was talking about Gamefly since they are a rental service and the original policies would not allow Gamefly to do there rental service with the Xbox One which would make them lose money.
