SHUN THE XBOX ONE!

The Xbox One is a game changer for all the wrong reasons.

While gamers have always enjoyed true ownership of their games, being able to share them with friends, sell them on and play them wherever they are, this is all about to change.

Microsoft, if unchallenged, is about to lock down games. Here's how:

• Your console needs to check in with Microsoft's servers at least every 24 hours
  • If you can't check in, your games simply won't work
  • Even single player games
  • And if you're signed in, using someone else's box, it needs to connect every hour
• You don't own games, you license them
  • Games are installed to the console, discs become redundant after first install
  • And the disc will be useless to anyone else
  • You can't lend games
  • You won't be able to rent games
• Pre-owned is controlled by publishers
  • They decide if you can trade in the game or not, and how much you pay
  • Potentially resale could be restricted until games are a certain age...
  • ...Or simply never enabled at all
  • Only "participating retailers" can accept used games
  • With more control and less competiton, you will pay more for used games...
  • ...And will be offered less for your old games, with no alternative way to sell
  • Smaller 'indie' retailers could be killed off if left out
• Selling games is practically impossible
  • You can only give games to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days
  • Games can only be given once
  • So people you sell to, cannot sell the game on

Think about this.

Think about how different this is from what you can do now.

Right now, you can take your console anywhere, and play any of the games, without fear of being locked out because there's no internet connection.

Right now, you can take your games round your friends' houses and play, and let your friend keep it for the weekend.

Right now, you have the freedom to choose to shop around for the best trade-in price or simply sell on eBay.

And right now, you know that in years to come, playing old games is as simple as dusting off your console and putting in the disc

Microsoft is putting an end to these basic rights. And if we accept this, more rights will follow. Gaming is about to get very expensive. We cannot afford to let this happen.

If you want gaming to remain as it is now, pledge now, to shun the Xbox One until these restrictions are dropped. Sign our petition and let Microsoft know you care to much about your hobby to have them control it.

All it takes is for as many people as possible to genuinely shun the Xbox One, and Microsoft will have to give in. We do not have to just put up with it. Ultimately, we are in control - we just need to be tough enough to stand our ground.

It will be tough, especially as the new games are announed, but we must be strong. Don't let Microsoft buy you. If we give in now, the cost will be huge in the long run.

Join the Xbox Shun - and mean it. Together we can win!

 

 

I've already signed this petition and anyone who loves video games should do so.

 

 

Shun done.

Or, you know, you could just not buy the Xbox One like I've been planning to do.

Sign and don't buy.

 

By signing you'll send the message not only to Microsoft,but also to any stupid 3rd party company who would support Microsoft's practices

It's like feedback ya know?

Microsoft should just focus on Windows.

The thing is, whatever Microsoft is planning they obviously don't care how bad of a reception they're getting. Signing a damn online petition is not going to do anything to them; Microsoft has pretty much confirmed they don't give a damn about the hole they keep digging themselves into.

Now, if everyone simply just boycotted the Xbox One whenever it comes out, that sends the strongest message of all. It hits them right where it counts, and that's going to be the only way you could get Microsoft to listen.

this is pretty much only way to stop any company that doesn't care what their fans say. People complain that "OMG EA AND CAPCOM SUCKS" and then they buy their games anyway. You know, they don't actually care if they suck, they just want money. And obviously they start to care when they aren't getting money. Boycotting is really only way that makes these companies listen. At least I feel like they have made this quite clear with their business practice

If you've read the petition you'll realize it includes boycotting

I recognize the fact that sending a note signed by a good number of gamers may get Microsoft's attention, but I feel that just not buying the console might do it more justice. (Unless they're so delusional that they don't have any idea why their console would do so bad..)

I would post itnto facebook, but my phone isbbeing a piece of shiznit ans sont let me get one FB.

 

Sigh.

 

Xbox shunned. But 482 or more won't make a difference. We'll need even more.

 

 

 

Edit:

 

That's the damn point. SIGN A NOTE. DONT BUY THEIR SHIZNIT. Boycoot and let them know. Make yourself known as a name. Not a statistic on how many people boycotted.

I don't see how the Xbox One's system would affect other gaming systems like the PS4.

It won't. But the point is, MS is giving the finger to their entire consumer base. I love my 360. But the XB1 now takes away one of my favorite gaming series, Halo.We need to stand up to Microsoft. Sony won't go that way. Not yet. Time will tell.
