Jurassic World Evolution 2 player? We're not sure much will appeal more than the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Park Manager’s Collection Pack
I disagree. Consumers acted out against the policies of a company that they thought where harmful, wasn't Xbox One's draconian DRM itself unjustified? Well at the very least it was bad news and needed to go.
Besides, no matter what anyone says it's a consumers right to voice their opinions and concerns in regards to a companies products and services.
Sorry John , you may hold most truths when it comes to engineering 3d engines and software , or even hardware .... but i'm not going to value your opinion over consumers rights or DRM .
Not that long ago , Carmack himself felt constricted and strangled by the restriction coming alongside the very first versions of direct X , (alongside performance issues then) as opposed to open gl .
If people didnt oppose it , and MS had their original ways and werent FORCED to involve and take a more suitable path , the pc landscape would be very different
I just look at this guy and don't trust anything he is saying.
I agree with Carmack on this one. The hole Xbox One DRM was taken way out of proportion. I blame raged fanboys and specially gaming "journalists".
What console gamers fail to understand is that the hole online DRM disk games is arriving sooner or later to consoles... didn't arrive with the X1/PS4, but most likely the generation after the X1/PS4, it will arrive. PC games have already reached that phase. Consoles are going to follow.
Calling this a "witch hunt" is ridiculous, not to mention disrespectful to those who lost their lives in actual witch hunts.
