You can use Google and find it if you want.

So everything i find on Google will be 100% true no rumours nothing everything is the truth and nothing but the truth?

This thread isn't about bashing the Xbox. It's about raising awareness for the dangers of DRM, and the suspicious circumstances behind this petition that feels like it just appeared out of thin air. We can go through hours of fact checking, etc. but there is no reason to. Historically speaking, companies that use strict DRM policies try to milk as much money out of their consumers as possible. Just look at EA games. Look at their DRM failures, including the new Sim City - total disaster.

Hey buddy sim city works fine now ofc there will be issues on launch every bloody game has issues i'm pretty sure if Microsoft had DRM they would know about all the issues surrounding the always online thing and would have plans to prevent such things as the launch of sim city. Microsoft would be very prepared for all the demand to be honest they would have so much computing power way more than sim city.

You're "pretty sure" huh? I suppose you are an expert on Digital Rights Management and its effects on the consumer.
People that do have knowledge of EA's DRM on PC will know that it effectively treats the consumer like a criminal. Often, DRM contains faults that render games unplayable - as was the case for Sim City.

Actually, im a PC gamer and I see no problem with EA's DRM policy! At the moment you have no right to say "Pretty sure? " in that tone to anyone, especially since this "Conspiracy" is all rumour from you searching Google! Non of thiw post is logical to anything Microsoft are doing!

Clearly you arr far from being a DRM expert too! I see no problem with EA's policy! Stop talking about things that you don't know about!
