The previous moves MS made were so consumer hostile it's mind boggling. You don't attack the people you are trying to appeal to. That's like ringing the doorbell of a girl you like then proceeding to kick the shit out of her when she opens the door.
What were they thinking? Did nobody do any market research or did they just pull a Farragut and shout "damn the torpedoes! E3 ahead!"? It just shows such a complete disconnect with reality and was such a disconnect with the reality of the install base, and so contrary to human nature that it is incredible that they even tried it. All they had to ask themselves was who likes a middle man? It had to have been born from a board room and it was suicidally stupid to try to get away with it. But I guess we can figure out what they were thinking by asking one question: Who was that meant to excite?
All that said its a smart move to remove the totalitarian DRM policies they had planned. It's for the best moving forward, but it's too late. You only get one first impression. The damage is done. They actually might have won this E3 with out that, they had a decent showing for games, but with it they launched their opening salvos at themselves. They may as well have gift wrapped it.
We will see how things work out but for my part I hope some deserving, corporate ladder climbing idiot was fired for that debacle, hell I hope everybody involved in that scheme was. The Xbox division would be that much better off. Too many sharks in the water as is ATM, coming round cause they smell money and trying to run the thing into the ground by trying to run it without understanding it.
Also korn that comic is gross please use spoilers man.

I'm Calling It Now, This Has Killed The Xbox One. It Was Designed With DRM And That Stuff In Mind, And Basically Only Provides Features That Include That In Some Way. So Now All The Xbox One Is Is a Slightky More Powerful 360 That Requires You to Get The Kinect With It. In Addition To Being Less Powerful And More Expensive Than The PS4. (Which Has Been Said Millions Of Times But Still).
Honestly The Only Reasons I'm Seeing To Buy An Xbox One Are Either Brand Loyalty Or CoD DLC Early.
