Petition wants Microsoft to bring back Xbox One's DRM
"This was to be the future of entertainment. A new wave of gaming where you could buy games digitally, then trade, share or sell those digital licenses. Essentially, it was Steam for Xbox. But consumers were uninformed, and railed against it, and it was taken away because Sony took advantage of consumers uncertainty.
We want this back. It can't be all or nothing, there must be a compromise."
This petition follows Microsoft's reversal of their original DRM policies for the Xbox One. Controversially, the Xbox One originally needed to connect to the internet every 24 hours to verify that multiple users weren't accessing the one copy of a game; games that would have been permanently linked to your account, stored on your console or in the cloud, and shareable with up to 10 other people.
Following Sony's announcement that the PS4 wouldn't have always-online or game sharing restrictions at E3, and a public outcry from "uninformed" members of the public, Microsoft reversed these policies. This means that the console essentially operates the same as the Xbox 360, where games are not linked to your account and still require the physical disc to play.
Currently the petition has around 6,000 supporters out of a needed 7,500.

Am I the only one that KNOWS this would be good? The ONLY con is the connection thing and that really is not a problem for people who play right now. Just think if this would change back, you would be able to share games online and with multiple family members. That's just one Pro though. You guys just can't accept the future and better technology when you see it, as said above

ZyphrTyler-the-Creator So glad there's a petittion! DRM was the future and idiots that knew nothing about it and don't want anything to change from the old consoles to the new ruined it. None of the cons affect me cause I never sell my games cause its not worth getting $9 for 22 games at GameStop and I never gave my games away cause every time I did, I regretted it and wanted to play the game again. Also the 24 hour check up wont affect me at all and probably won't for anybody else that's a TTG member cause the only place I play my Xbox is my room and if someone can afford a $500 console but still doesn't have an Internet connection, then idk what world you're living in.
Thats awesome everything you said works out for you. Majority of people don't want these things. If people wanted this they would have kept it.
No most don't cause they know barely anything about it and wanted to hop on the PS bandwagon
