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.

Foolish I think that DRM should come at a later time.
I don't think that the gaming community is ready for it yet.
Agreed Too!

darkowl1991RATFDanimals microsoft i making horrible decisions. if they keep making them the console will fall
even though with them removing the DRM their revenue has went up LOL so in reality the console is not failing
Yes more sold after they remove the DRM but that would of happen anyway. People just had to see that all the rumours about the xbox one was just that, it might of taking a couple of years but people would of come around.
They did not stress how good DRM was for the system. Thats why.
