Xbox One DRM: Microsoft’s Penello doesn’t see it returning
In the thread, Penello was asked if Xbox One DRM policies could be re-instated, to which he replied, “I don’t see that ever happening with content you’re buying today either on disc and digitally. All of that DRM stuff was in place because there was no physical security on the disc itself, so all the licensing was done digitally.
“When you build that type of model, then you need to make sure people can’t install games on a bunch of machines, then unplug them. That would have made us an awesome Pirating machine, and that can’t happen for obvious reasons. When we went back to disc security, those DRM policies weren’t necessary. So no reason to turn it on later.”
He added, “If there’s ambiguity, it’s because it’s possible that, in the future, IF WE ADDED BACK some of those family sharing ideas we had in the beginning, we’d have [to] reintroduce similar types of policies. So IF you wanted to have a game and have that family sharing, always-in-the-cloud, and digital loaning – then we might add those requirements back.
“You can imagine a world where we have both types of models at the same time. Again, big IF, but the bottom line is I wouldn’t worry about us making those policies ‘retroactive’ which seems to be the issue I hear people worry about.”

Pashtun They took DRM off with one uopdate ( day one update). They can bring it all back with one update. So simple. Be warned.
That's because it was in the first stages of development, the console is near done now it would take a lot more work to bring it back.

DRM was the best thing about the Xbox One, it was moving to the future. What PC gamers complain about Steam? Another console is now going to take the Steam for consoles off microsoft and they will succeed.

I personally didn't see an issue with DRM. I haven't played offline since the PS2 days.

Always-in-the-cloud, that should seriously make a return if they got rid of it, well worth it.
