Let
us let you in on a little secret about how things work here at
PropertyRecord.com. In our break room, we have an Xbox 360 and when we have
some downtime, the PropertyRecord.com staff is very competitive with each other
on it – particularly with Call Of Duty. So, we were looking forward to
Microsoft's announcement of the Xbox One next generation gaming console.
But
when we heard about some of the limitations on it, we were disgusted – as was
much of the gaming community - and had decided not to buy one. This is why we
were delighted this morning at PropertyRecord.com to learn that Microsoft has
listened to the people and gotten rid of the “features” that angered the gaming
community.
The
first feature that upset people was the fact that to use the Xbox One, you were
going to need an always-on Internet connection. We know at PropertyRecord.com
from dealing with our customers that many people in rural areas have spotty
Internet. That would have meant that for large parts of the day, they would not
have been able to use their expensive game consoles. Now, Microsoft has said
that they are redesigning the game so that you don't need the Internet at all
to use it.
The
second feature that upset people was that Microsoft was going to use technology
to make it impossible to share games with your friends, sell the games you
bought, or buy used games. Let's face it; not everyone can afford new games.
And one of the ways you can discover great games is by trying one title in the
series used ,and if you like it, buying new versions of other titles in the
series. This is how we discovered Assassin’s Creed.
Beyond
that, this feature would have put many mom-and-pop used game businesses out of
business. Now Microsoft has said that they will remove the DRM so that you will
be able to buy and sell used games and share them with your friends.
This
shows that Microsoft, like PropertyRecord.com, listens to its customers. And
it's let us know we'll have an Xbox One in our break room later this year.
