I'm sorry but the points made on this video are stupid:
1. It's not about what we do, it's about the options we have. I had an issue with my internet connection last week, 3 days without it at home. That means with MS system I wouldn't have been able to play during 2-3 days depending on the last time I signed in.
Not playing for 3 days it's not a problem. The fact that it's restricted because MS decide so would have been.
2. If I buy a physical game, I want to be able to use it wherever and whenever I want. Just like a CD or a DVD. I'm not paying 70 bucks for a case that gives me a 1 time only code. I think not being able to use the games in your account in more than 2 ps4 it's already stupid. Or that if there are psn login issues, the games brought in my secondary account are useless.
I get that they don't want to lose money, but if all I get by purchasing online it's "getting access to the service", you should never put those prices. Yeah, I have a friend which I buy digital games with, but we are not always interested in the same things.
3. Have we forgotten that Kinect was mandatory in their ecosystem? So If you weren't interested in that, you had to eat it just to justify the 500$ price tag? And do we understand the consequences that not overturning that could have mean to the owner privacy?
4. MS would have never approached the cross-play route if they weren't behind in the race. During PS2 and Ps3, Sony was the one pushing for cross-play with the likes of PES 6 or Portal 2 while MS didn't want any of that.
MS move was with the same goal as every other company: Ensure more income in their pockets. They wanted to have full control over the software sold and the players using it, but they weren't offering a great value in exchange. That's why that shit was a fiasco as big as the PS3 launch.
As an industry, we're transitioning from physical to digital, but that's because now there's an ok value in this thanks to the discounts they're doing. The gaming industry has watched what Netflix it's doing and they're starting to understand that at the right price and value, people can jump in the digital wagon.
