14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft announces that it is dropping all Digital Rights Management solutions it has previously announced for its coming Xbox One home console, which means that the device will no longer ask to connect to the Internet every 24 hours and that games can be re-sold and given to friends at will.
The complete reversal of policy comes after many fans complained about Xbox One DRM since they were announced and especially during E3 2013.
Don Mattrick, the president of the Interactive Entertainment Business division, states, "We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds."
Downloadable games and physical disks are expected to work exactly as they do today on the Xbox 360.
The Xbox One DRM elimination means that Microsoft’s policies are now in line with those of the PlayStation 4 from Sony.
