Crazy, they had to really.
It just annoys me how 'easily' they have just done a total 180. Like werent they saying they cant get past the whole "login" once a day? Now they just remove it instantly? And all that DRM?
Sounds a bit like Sim City...
Well, it's only a software patch that's allowing this. You'll have to download and install an update before you're able to do this.
So I'm gonna guess they'll start turning it back on within the year.
This x100, PS4 probably just rode the bandwagon but soon enough they will do the same.Quote:

Microsoft, on the other hand, has been relatively up-front about what they've offered even if it sucks to hear.

The internet is exploding from this news. Sorry MS, we still know that you fucked up big time, and you're backpedalling like incompetent idiots after your elaborate DRM plans.
LOOOOOOOOLLLL

Microsoft needed to just push how their excellent sharing features (that Steam is now taking from them) worked, and everyone would have pulled that steaming hot lead pipe out of their ass.
This news is extremely disappointing.
People spoke with their wallets, Microsoft probably didn't reach the pre-order numbers they were hoping for, and they listened. How is that disappointing ? Yes the sharing thing is cool but if it comes packed with all that region locking and DRM bull I'd rather not have it all together. Steam isn't stealing anything as far as I'm concerned as they will (hopefully) do it the right way without filling holes with garbage.
