Petition wants Microsoft to bring back Xbox One's DRM
"This was to be the future of entertainment. A new wave of gaming where you could buy games digitally, then trade, share or sell those digital licenses. Essentially, it was Steam for Xbox. But consumers were uninformed, and railed against it, and it was taken away because Sony took advantage of consumers uncertainty.
We want this back. It can't be all or nothing, there must be a compromise."
This petition follows Microsoft's reversal of their original DRM policies for the Xbox One. Controversially, the Xbox One originally needed to connect to the internet every 24 hours to verify that multiple users weren't accessing the one copy of a game; games that would have been permanently linked to your account, stored on your console or in the cloud, and shareable with up to 10 other people.
Following Sony's announcement that the PS4 wouldn't have always-online or game sharing restrictions at E3, and a public outcry from "uninformed" members of the public, Microsoft reversed these policies. This means that the console essentially operates the same as the Xbox 360, where games are not linked to your account and still require the physical disc to play.
Currently the petition has around 6,000 supporters out of a needed 7,500.

Lol. This is balls. Probably just PS4 fanboys raging because Microsoft is getting more pre-orders (on Amazon and all that) than Sony is.

I want the DRM back, I don't want a damn updated 360 I want a new console that does fun things that the last one couldn't. Reason why I considered the xbox one over the PS4 for my first next gen console.

It's just a bunch of PS4 supporters (I'm a PS4 Supporter) signing this petition.
It's just one big troll, you guys have nothing to worry about.
