The "NO GAMEZ" issue should be addressed there. MS has been planning on saving the gaming stuff for E3 for a while now. I hope it doesn't try to use it to also sweep these horrible policies out of the public eye though. Online DRM requirements, second-hand game restrictions... some bad corporate shenanigans which will only become the new normal if gamers let it. We can't just accept it.

MS said back in April that this event was going to be more about the system and games would wait until E3. Not sure what people were expecting. When those "horrible policies" are set in stone, I will begin to care.

Agreed on the games. It's just the smoke of these rumors had been gathering for a while now... We caught a glimpse of the fire that caused them. I usually don't like big rage-fests but these kind of policies would seriously hurt my gaming preferences going forward. Got to fuel the outrage else these policies won't have any chance of changing.

I don't disagree but there's ways to express dissatisfaction without coming across as whiny children. Something that a lot of gamers haven't figured out. We can start by having well-reasoned discussion about why these things are bad for the industry, rather than make videos like the one in the OP* and forum posts rife with hyperbole. *Video in OP gets a pass if my assumption that he's a joke character is correct. He may really mean those things but if his character is to be a fly-off-the-handle gamer who rants (guessing that's the case based on his handle: "Angry Joe"), then I guess that's fine.
