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.

Yes please. I signed this petition. Digitally owning games, with the plus of up to 10 people being in the family group to share those games with? All my yes. I was one of those informed of the pros of DRM and was mortified that they took it away because of a bunch of whiny children who want to buy pre-owned or rent games. I buy all my games new, because I buy them when they come out. Why would I wait to rent or get it used? It takes away the joy of a first experience, as hundreds of thousands have done the same before you.

M60BF3xHALOSpintasticBF3xHALO Why do people want drm it's stupid
DRM will lower the game prices and more discounts to buying it because there is no used games + you can play the game off your cloud storage
So u are saying a new game is going to be cheaper than a used one I don't know how that makes since and what about the other half of the world like our military they don't have Internet in Afghanistan don't bring back drm
So u are just going to say **** the military they just don't fight for our counties. **** them if they just want to experience the next generation
Then what mattrick said. Buy a 360

Screw it I'll sign. Only thing I didn't like about it is the 24 Hour check in but it's tolerable. Steam for Xbox? I'm in.
