But you can still bring games over your friends house and play for free. You can also get 2 copies of the same game for the price of 1 which means borrowing is kinda moot (unless you have more than 1 gaming friend) when you could just give it to your friend for free. That's something PC doesn't do. Trust me when I say I'm a cheapass and have thought this through thoroughly with the current information provided. Even if PS4 follows suit, I think you can do this on there too but I'm not familiar with the DRM system that PS3 has.
that second copy would be for backup purposes. im certain these machines will crap out just as often as the others. and what if i dont want my friend to be at my house for the ENTIRE TIME it takes him to beat that singleplayer RPG that i wanted him to borrow? you're insane if you think i would lend him my machine. also the PS3 doesnt have a DRM system(except for maybe downloaded titles, but as i said i stopped buying those a long time ago.)
It was just a possible scenario. Your reading into it too much. I mean EA has games on Wii U but don't intend to make anymore for them.
I will also note that EA wasn't gonna support MS on 360 unless MS let them use their own servers for their games.
thats because EA is an evil and greedy company that needs a REALLY SERIOUS reality check.
