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.

TTG_ANTIxPIMP too bad i decided not to get the xbox one. hopefully this does get reversed though, it would put gamestop out of business :D
So you want gamestop to go out of business? I personally like gamestop, get tons of games there, for a lot cheaper also. You can get older games and newer, at Walmart, you can't. So I want gamestop to stay up and running/.

I just read that they raised it to 10,000 posts. They currently have 8,000 out of 10,000.
Check the source in this article. I'm interested to see what Microsoft will do if they get enough signatures.
