So .... where can I legally download the Rallisport Challenge 2 DLC then?
DRM and the threat of legal proceedings mean that scarcity is very much part of the digital information world.

When all books are available in non-DRM format, you'll have a point. But your position doesn't address the planned obsolescence that DRM creates. Your use materialism as a misdirection. I use it as a compromise against DRM. I'd love everything was as easy to copy as a NES cart.
Games cannot be available in a non-copy-protected way and I accept that. Your argument would only work if everybody was like you, because your world seems to be dominated by single serving entertainment items. Not mine.
I doubt that highly. I would guess you can only be in one "family" at a time.
But that works mostly for old games that publishers decided to monetize a shallow long tail. It's not disruptive in any way.
But yes I guess it's cause for optimism. :smile:
I'm curious from a purely technical point of view if MS will ship the XboxOne with some sort of failsafe exception program that allows you or them to override the 24 hour check under exceptional circumstances,and still maintain long term control over the systems security.
Like if they can't connect with you and want to give you a temporary exception to play will it have to be some matter handled over the phone and use like a rotating call/respond code system?

LoU is on PSN for £40, unlike the usual £50+ gouge. Perhaps this signifies a change towards more respectable online pricing? Considering a download sale has no resale unlike a disk, publisher should be able to charge less for it and make more money, thus I don't understand the reticence in low pricing for downloads, but hopefully that'll change. As a side effect, ownership become moot.

Podcast just went up yesterday.
Clear up PS4 drm/used games.
First/third parties cannot blocked access to single player and they cannot use online passes any more. He said the PS+ paid multiplayer would take care of any online passes. He didnt feel it was right to double charge, very smart move!
The extra thing third party can charge is for games that are MMO[dcuo was the example here] or have season passes to DLC.
Great news! Pretty easy to understand. Worth a listen!

Would be tied to your XBL account i assume so they could grant special permission for things like people in the armed forces.
Well for whatever reason they grant a temporary exception,how could they do it without connecting to you online without breaking open the security.
Lets say through no fault of my own my net goes down, I call MS customer service and after asking me a bunch of verification questions they are satisfied and want to help me out over the phone to grant me a temporary exception,how could they do it if they needed to?
Xbone drm also doesn't let you resell the hardware?

Hate to see what happens if you get banned or even had to buy a new system.

Well, MS would have to put steps in from restricting you from having multiple sub accounts tied to different gold memberships. Now that I think about it, it could be highly abused so you are probably right.
When such a crazy DRM scheme is used, region locking can become strongly enforced.

Imagine the drama for gamer households going through a divorce.
"Go on Timmy, choose which parent's game library you love more."
I wonder if MS and/or Sony will go with the standard split for DD, 70/30. Technically the manufacturer is due licensing fees but is also acting as a retailer. That means getting a $18 off a $70 dollar game.
I remember us discussing that topic a number of times. Anybody remember the breakdown between licensing fees, distributions and the retailer's cut?

Ha ha ha. Is that person asking if they can't use their xbox in the UK because they used to live somewhere else?
