Microsoft says "Fuck you, Gamers", I say "Fuck off then"
12 years ago
How freaky is this..
Well I have looked and looked at ALL the information available, and I have pretty much seen all I need to see. I watched the reveal for the Xbox One (or its better name, the Failbox 2, its also being called the "Bro Box") and what I got from microsoft's "reveal" was they revealed thier true feelings.
It was nothing more than a BIG Fat Juicy "FUCK YOU" To gamers. Thier glorified VCR/Cablebox is gonna be thier own downfall. and all you have to do is look at all the announcements. of what you WONT be able to do
- Xbox one will ALWAYS be online. Or rather it will have to connect to the internet once every 24 hours and every time you turn it on.
-Kinect 2.0 will Be Mandatory and will ALWAYS be watching & Listening (even when the console is off)
-Indie game developers are banned from self Publishing (Meaning they have to sign a deal with Microsoft where they get shafted)
-Pre-owned games will be hidden behind a paywall (Bought a game from gamestop? good for you, But if you want to play it, you have to pay a second fee for it to work on your console. Perhaps even MORE than the game was origionally worth
-NOT backwards compatible: This means NO Xbox/Xbox 360 games on the box one.
-NOT Backwards compatible with Periferals!!! Got that $500 pro gaming headset? Way to go! Shame though you WONT be able to use it on the xbox one, You will have to go buy one of thier Official Headsets from thier own parntners/company.
Also a couple of more recent ones that have been confirmed
- Your gamerscore/Profile/etc Will transfer over, Your DIGITAL CONTENT WILL NOT. This includes things such as Content purchased from XBLA, Game DLC, avatar items, and the like. You will have to purchase them all over again.
and the most irritating confirmation i have heard
-MICROSOFT HAS CONFIRMED: XBOX ONE will be REGION LOCKED! Yeah I really dont think I need to explain what that means do I?
And so with all this in mind, I dont even need to worry about E3 and what they have to say then, Because they have already LOST ME as a customer.
When The PS4 comes out, I will be scrapping my xbox or trading it in. I will be closing my xbox live account, and likely moving over to PS4, or maybe give one of the new emerging consoles (Steambox/piston, Ouya, NVIDIA Shield) a whirl. Regardless, I am handing in my xbox membership card and telling microslop where they can stick thier damn xbox one....er...sorry, Thier TV and Sports "Bro Box!"
Microsoft's Stock already took a bit of a plunge after the reveal, Lets see if we can knock it down even more and make the Idiot Microsoft CEO's Cry! That will teach them you DONT FUCK WITH GAMERS.
You are welcome to leave your thoughts, Just saying that I will be abandoning xbox for one of its competitors very VERY soon.

And let's not forget the ultimate gaming machine, the PC
But I will more than likely trade in my Xbox for a PS4
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???
