Say People are missing the point Microsoft is not like Valve/Steam, they have awful sales if any when Steam has tons that are great.

That has absolutely nothing to do with this at all. You are just another person who doesn't understand what this means. Please stop trying to spread your ignorance.

What? Lol this is why people didn't want DRM through microsoft. They do not offer the deals that Justifies digital only and one time use of disc. You sir are ignorant. If Microsoft didnt want to charge near full price for old games id be fine with it but they don't. DRM with xbox one would be paying $60 for a game thats not worth 4 months after its out.

Oh okay well i bought tombraider and thief last week digital for 50% off isn't that a good deal or do you want 95% off??

Potion I wish it had DRM because i'm sure it would've been exactly like the steam platform.

-CP The problem is that the public is uneducated. Anyone who has Steam knows this would have been for the best, but the uneducated masses still somehow get what they want (even when they are completely wrong).

The online DRM would have caused games to only be purchasable by disk or in the marketplace. The disk would've been a one time use and then became a key card to be able to play that single game every time you wanted to play that single game. You would have to physically change disks to play content that was fully downloaded to your console. The only other option would have been to buy from the marketplace which has almost no sales or has terrible ones. The original policy was similar to steam except that the key to the game was a physical key (the disks) and only one person could own it at a time causing you not to be able to sell or buy a used game. If Microsoft would have gone full digital and been modeled similar to steam, rather than half-a** the migration to eventual digital only like they planned, everything would've been good.

Those of you who say that if the Xbox One had DRM, it would have steam sales are completely wrong. The only place you can buy games digitally would be the Microsoft games store. Microsoft can charge any price they want since they have a monopoly one you. There is no competition. Steam on the other hand has huge sales because PC users can choose if they want Steam or Origin or whatever. They both compete and have competition that is why Steam has huge sales. Getting rid of the DRM was the best for the Xbox One but I would like to see it otherwise because I the Xbox One is the cancer of gaming.

And then you are completely wrong the devs set the prices on the console you idiot microsoft set prices on there own games. Microsoft where doing this so that the devs would be getting more money as no pre owned games which would allow devs to do what they wanted with the prices this basically allowing a steam type system, they were also exploring possibilities of selling your digital games back for money.

While yes the money would bring more profit to devs, Microsoft marketplace has final say on the price of games on their store. Last time I checked, most old games that you see come from Games with Gold are already priced around $20-$15, largest splurge I've seen from them though is the still $30 on the marketplace Halo 3. $30 for a super old game, regardless of it becoming Free for a limited time, is unreasonable. Also, don't know where you heard the rumor from but you will never be able to sell digital content back for a reduction of the price paid.
