Xbox One: Used Games, Always-Online Explained - IGN Conversation

This statement still affected them to this day.

"It checks for an online connection to make sure you aren't doing anything sketchy..."
You mean like playing video games?

[kylereece]

Me: Xbox one open the disk tray i want to play a used game

Xbox One: I'm sorry Dave i can't let you do that...

Years later and i came back to look at his passive explanation from IGN. Clearly they're trying to make it sound less then what it actually is.

[MrDaddHat]

I was thinking of buying a Xbox One only because PS4 is out of stock everywhere in the US. But after watching this I rather wait for the PS4 again. Xbox One 👎

You know they were bent over to Microsoft when they broadcasted this. it's funny they really didn't know how bad it actually got. I may be really, really late commenting, but I just find it hilarious looking back on everything now lol

[compufood]

Dude, I'm still chilling with my NES!

[aro]

The video should have stopped when they said you can’t lend the game.

[Guiyii]

Microsoft sucks, Ugh the world's companies these days, just tyrants, I wish the Xbox One would just disappear, never to come back at all! How stupid can this world get?

[RichardHardslab]

You missed a question: "Why should I want to buy this system?"
Cause I can't figure the answer to that one out yet.

[Amali_]

I’m genuinely curious how they felt comfortable preaching this

[RedeemedChef]

I thought it was a guy that looked like a girl. So confusing.

[philipjnz]

Damn who was running this company back then 🤦🏻

[peteralick]

Whats the full title of the Angry Joe video on Youtube my friend?

[williamjenkins]

I want to buy a Xbox one s but the internet thing ...sooo ps4

[blaze]

to think microsoft actually thought those were good ideas.

[MrThisIsMyUsername]

And if it doesn't connect and all the games are disabled, is there a way to recover those games or are they permentely disabled?

[ImJasonForever]

so if the games are disabled, how do you get them to run again? and does not turning on the system restart your saved game??

[TheGimpyGamer.]

Makes a little more sense now but waiting for the conference later today

[peteralick]

Agreed my friend but it wasnt all bad; I traded Judgment for store credit, picked up MSPs and purchased Leviathan, Omega and The Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3. I already had the 'From Ashes' DLC but was waiting to collect them all before doing another playthrough haha :)
