Xbox One DRM: Microsoft’s Penello doesn’t see it returning
In the thread, Penello was asked if Xbox One DRM policies could be re-instated, to which he replied, “I don’t see that ever happening with content you’re buying today either on disc and digitally. All of that DRM stuff was in place because there was no physical security on the disc itself, so all the licensing was done digitally.
“When you build that type of model, then you need to make sure people can’t install games on a bunch of machines, then unplug them. That would have made us an awesome Pirating machine, and that can’t happen for obvious reasons. When we went back to disc security, those DRM policies weren’t necessary. So no reason to turn it on later.”
He added, “If there’s ambiguity, it’s because it’s possible that, in the future, IF WE ADDED BACK some of those family sharing ideas we had in the beginning, we’d have [to] reintroduce similar types of policies. So IF you wanted to have a game and have that family sharing, always-in-the-cloud, and digital loaning – then we might add those requirements back.
“You can imagine a world where we have both types of models at the same time. Again, big IF, but the bottom line is I wouldn’t worry about us making those policies ‘retroactive’ which seems to be the issue I hear people worry about.”

I agree. It simply wasn't something that we are ready for at this point in time. Maybe next generation that can do something with DRM, Yet greatly improve it
Agreed! I wouldn't like the DRM feature at all!
Why? It gave you so much in return.

KatsumiDiniCokes I think many people would connect to the internet at least once every 24 hours.
Yeah same, almost everyone is online now a days
I am a big offline gamer so i didn't really like the idea of DRM on the Xbox One. I do have access to the internet though
Yeah but you still have internet access. As long as you have it, it doesn't matter whether you're an online or offline gamer. The benefits with the DRM were kinda nice.

It's more about people who want to take their Xbox One on holidays and such. It would be really inconvenient to have my console bar after 24 hours, leaving me with nothing to play for the duration of my holiday
