Unfortunately key prices haven't dropped accordingly, yet anyway. Still ~$35 for 6 months of Core, which is like $15 a month after conversion. The same price it was a month ago.

We'll see how much that is when the fallout from Sony's "You've got to connect or we'll turn off your downloaded games and other content" starts to kick in.


Microsoft can do the funniest thing here. If not, a pox on all of their Corporatist houses, then.

And the Sony DRM isn’t quite as heinous as originally thought. It’s a onetime login to avert refund scams. We’ll see if this turns true.

They still haven't made a formal annoucement in this regard, only done damage control through journalists. Why haven't they come out with kind of official statement? I think they are trying to let people down slowly and who knows what they will come back with later.

I think they got caught up in “we don’t want to tell people how to do this” type bullshit. They should have announced it. But the outcry still would have been there.

Ultimately, people can/should vote with wallets when/if they go beyond. But this right here I can’t really fault them on beyond how they decided to handle the PR.
