Twitter protests possible PS4 DRM
#PS4NoDRM if you'd like to say something. I have been expecting it since Microsoft announced their DRM. Although its a huge selling point for Sony to allow used games while the competitor bans them, I'm sure developers would be more reluctant to release their games on a system that still uses used games.
I didn't even know I had a twitter account. I guess I do.

Not like a protest will change anything. Microsoft made a stupid greedy move, and Sony made the smart decision that it doesn't matter if it's used or new. If people want a certain game really bad, they're going to pre-order them anyway. Most used games are the older ones, that are hardly worth anything. Now if Microsoft made it possible to activate games on 3 profiles maximum, like how psn does it with some/most of their games, they won't lose out much either.

The attitude of "a protest won't do anything" is probably the reason protests don't do anything. If you have a twitter, it literally takes less than 30 seconds to write something up. If every person who blew this off as ineffective wrote a tweet, maybe it WOULD do something. Probably not, I'm a realist, but for something that takes less time to do than checking an email, I figure why not go for it?
Anyway, to be honest, I completely understand the point of DRM. However, its just ignoring the real problem. The reason I don't buy many new games is because they're $60. Thats crazy to me. I wait until games are half that and priced at $30. Common sense says that they must account for people buying used games in the original price of the game. They have to make up for the people who wait to buy in the original price to make the game worth buying. If they implement this used game fee shit and dip the original price of the games to $40 a pop, I won't care. Thats completely fair. I can't justify spending over half a hundred dollars every few weeks on a game. $40 I could live with.

Since when do people protest rumors. Let's wait for some solid information before we jump out of our pants.

An ounce of protection is worth two in the bush.
It's a lot easier for a company to change their minds beforehand. Retracting a feature is admitting defeat. Nobody wants to do that.
