[新闻] 微软要求所有XBOX720游戏都不得离线！！！

Xbox游戏开发工作室Thechineseroom，对Xbox 720 DRM和永远连线要求进行了吐槽。
Thechineseroom工作室创意总监兼创始人Dan Pincheck表示，，微软下一代Xbox游戏要求玩家永远在线的要求简直就是对玩家的侵略。他认为，除非是如《战地3》多人连线，否则下一代Xbox没有理由要求玩家一直在线。
Dan Pincheck认为，微软现在这种要求，除了考虑到反盗版之外，更多的是一种纯粹的营销策略，激起话题，并且让人关注它的下一代产品。
Dan Pincheck表示，购买正版游戏之后，玩家有权利在任何地点、时间、在线或者脱线运行游戏。Dan Pincheck认为微软在效仿苹果iTune，看上去消费者在iTune购买了歌曲，但是只能在iTune当中在线播放，其实是向苹果租赁了歌曲。

With the PS4 and Wii U out in the open, we're pretty anxious about what Microsoft is planning for its next Xbox. Now more alleged leaks are pointing to the console having an always-connected format with games to be installed directly to a hard drive.
A supposedly leaked document from the Durango XDK dev kit outlines that the console will also have a Blu-ray player and a "high-fidelity" Kinect Sensor that will be needed to operate the console.
Update: Edge says its sources have confirmed that the documents are legit.

However, once games are installed there will be no more need for a disk, with all gameplay happening via live internet connection.
"The console will be ready instantly when users want to play, and will always maintain a network connection so that console software and games are always current," reads the document.
"With this 'Always On, Always Connected' design, users will quickly and easily enjoy their connected entertainment experiences, with no waiting for the console to restart or install updates."
The console will also come with a hard drive, though the size of this is undisclosed in the document.

If true, this seems to be Microsoft's way of avoiding the resale of used games – something that has already caused a lot of outcry in the gaming community following previous similar rumours.
Microsoft is apparently packaging this "Always On, Always Connected" in a way that seems to benefit the player, avoiding lengthy bootups and update waits.
However, in the wake of the SimCity debacle, this will no doubt prove to be a hugely controversial move for Microsoft if any of this is substantiated. EA's disastrous launch put many gamers off the idea of always-on DRM in games.
But for an entire console? That's not going to go down well.
