    DRM on games?


    Under the 360 when you downloaded a game your received 2 licenses- one for the console it was downloaded on and one for the gamertag that bought the game. Is it the same with Xbox one?

    :)

  2. More great news if this is true!

    Family share is not DRM. DRM is not a feature. Nor are they dependent on each other.

    DRM on games?

    According to the support site, you can play a digital game from any XB1 console, but you must be signed into Xbox LIVE. If it's your home console however, (ie. the one you've designated at your home Xbox) anyone can play it regardless of whether or not your
    profile is signed in.

    In other words, from what I've gathered, licenses work in a similar fashion as the 360, with games being tied to your XBL account and to your home console.

    The license is attached to the account that buys it, that allows you to go play on your friends console if you want. However your account can only be used on one machine at a time so you couldn't put your account on another Xbox One and play on yours while
    allowing a 2nd account to play your games.

    Games will only work if the account that owns the content is SIGNED IN on the console that tries to play the game.

    Interesting you bring up Simcity seeing as the DRM made it unplayble for 3 weeks for alot of people while hackers cracked the DRM and allowed pirates to play the game DRM free for free.

    Online DRM does NOT work.

    My Opinion on the Xbox One

    24 check is xbox1 DRM along with the fact that it also has ''games linked to account'' DRM for all games both physical and digital. Aside from that you might get the same DRM as an xbox360

    PS4 unrestricted only for self published titles.

    [quote user="Lestat Phoenix"]

    @ not true...The DRM will be left up to publishers 1st party games from sony will not use drm...

    [/quote]

    If thats true and Sony puts out 1st party titles with no DRM at all then they are a very brave company. I doubt they will do completely DRM free games because thats not what they meant or at least seemed to mean by No DRM. It would be a huge risk to do that
    for them. No new DRM systems is a risk to an extend but not as big a risk as releasing games you can copy very easily,

    Here's the gig....

    Lestat,nothing wrong with that? They have effectively cut off atleast 40% of their user base by implementing 24hours system DRM. People don't care about game DRM, they are riled against console being one large DRM for it self. No internet and no gaming even
    if publisher hasn't added any DRM in their game. And you really think this is better?

    The people suport Sony now not because there is no DRM whatsoever but because there are NO NEW DRM. Everyone fully knows that games with Diablo3 DRM will exist, but thats not why they are angry about. How many more times do you need to read this from people
    before this little piece of information gets through to your brain?

    wait what's this sony

    Some people seem to NOT UNDERSTAND what DRM actually means...

    You know why you can't put a burnt copy of Halo into your 360 and run it?

    DRM.

    DRM is copy protection is DRM.

    -

    Every game has DRM... Jesus.

    -

    It's the way it's policed with the One that has people upset.

    A lot don't want to have to sign in online in order to play a game that already has COPY PROTECTION.
