There's an Xbox One petition going around asking for signatures to persuade Microsoft into restoring the original restrictions and DRM. Sounds dumb, right? Well you should see the people actually signing it.
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I'm surprised of how some people can be so naive and stupid. Why would any person who has some kind of sanity left in him/herself want those policies back. Really you want to lose your consumer rights and pay even more for what? Family sharing, download a game digitally which you can already do. Really? Those who sign this should not call themselves gamers.
"every one of the signers who are Sony fanboys trying to hurt or kill the Xbox One"
Lol. Xbox fanboys really believe this? Just because there's comments from Sony fanboys signing, doesn't mean that most of the signatures are Playstation fans trolling. Lets not be so quick to forget those who were actually defending MS policies and got upset when they remove the restrictions. I'm just saying, there's just as many or more Xbox One fans signing this, which is pretty sad.

Seems this is true... And some gamers are so pathetic.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Thanks for this article, it is something I have been trying to point out ever since the story began picking up speed.
Not to say that nobody actually supporting it, but its obvious a good number of people are actively trolling.
In the end they won't reverse the policy just because a smaller petition than the first wants them to change again. Especially with all those troll comments littering the petition page.
