14 DAY TRIAL // In another attempt to calm down potential Xbox One owners in regard to the Digital Rights Management (DRM) system that's going to be employed in the next-gen console, Microsoft has revealed that there are "a lot of advantages" to having content tied to a single account digitally.
The Xbox One will tie any new game to a user's account the first time it's installed but, after that, it's unclear just what system Microsoft will use to support the used (pre-owned) games market.
According to Microsoft Studios Corporate Vice President, Phil Spencer, who talked with Edge, via Videogamer, the Xbox One was designed with the secondary market in mind.
What's more, Spencer emphasized that the DRM would have advantages.
"We think there are a lot of advantages of having your content assigned to you digitally – we did that on 360 with cloud-saved games – and we want to do that with content. We understand there are implications... just know that we recognize the importance of that market and we've designed with it in mind from the beginning."
No other advantages were shared by Spencer as he mentioned that new details were going to appear in the near future.
