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!"

Yeah.. Microsoft really had no choice but to do what we said as consumers or they wouldn't have any to sell to.

The DRM policies would have killed GameFly's entire business, they would have not been able to rent any games for the One, which is ahuge market from them.

I agree that it is a win win situation. I believe that they have regained a fair bit of their market in the process

Oasis Well as the co-founder of the company he should of embraced the original plans a bit more and tried to do the best with what he had, instead of acting like it was the biggest blow to the market. Some day it'll shift to digital, even if their not ready.
I agree with ya on this, they do nothing but complain themselves, they might not complain by wording and notes but this article alone proved they didn't want to work on it... lazy bastards lol
