Don't really care much for what a console could have done, or is going to do. I just refuse to support companies that don't stick to their game plan because they are afraid of losing out. Wasn't the clamor of fans that changed MS's mind.. was the lack of $ flowing in. I understand that they are a company, and as such, their first objective is really to make money.. but how can you trust a company when they keep flip flopping business practice? It's at the point where you buy their console, and all that's stopping them from going back to the way things were planned to work on day one, is a software update. Something most people would think they could avoid until it came out that to play any new games, it would have to be updated. Shady business is shady business, no matter the color you paint it.
Also, the issue most people had with the locking the game to your account thing was not being able to lend your games to as many friends as you wanted. I could lend my copy of Uncharted 4 to my buddy, then another friend ask to borrow it and just get it from my other friend. Add to that, I would only be able to sell the game where they saw fit, instead of letting me sell my game where I could make the most money from it. That's the issue I've always had with digital gaming. I paid for it, but I can't do anything else with it once I'm done with it? Things like that shouldn't fly. If I paid for my TV, but then was gifted a bigger TV for a holiday, I should be able to sell that first one as I see fit. That's the issue with a digital gaming market in the eyes of most consumers. You buy something, but you don't really own it. As owning it would mean I can do with it as I please.
