Will Wright, known for being the brainchild behind The Sims franchise, made a statement agreeing with Microsoft's decision to back away from the asinine Always-Online DRM policy, and discussed how "impressed" he was that the overwhelming negative feedback from the gaming community changed their minds.
"From the consumers' point of view, I can really understand a lot of the backlash to DRM," he said in an interview with CNNMoney. "If something's required on the Internet that means they can't play it on the airplane or if their Internet connection goes down."
Our feelings are mutual, Mr. Wright. But does that mean I'm getting an Xbox One even after that? Nope.
If I could take us back to several months ago, Microsoft's Creative Director at the time, Adam Orth, basically gave the entire company's consumer base a middle finger for being genuinely insulted by the DRM policies, with the infamous tweet shown on the right:So while I do agree that they made a smart move in changing their minds, and while I did buy a 360 just to play Halo, they've ruined their relationship with myself and many other people. And Will, I'm just gonna stick with playing your games on the PC :)
Microsoft, how about YOU #dealwithit?
