My thoughts on People comparing Steam to MIcrosoft's DRM
Plus Steam has sales on games that JUST came out.

Regarding the picture it is wrong or misleading in some aspects. To my knowledge you can play your games on other consoles as long as you are signed into your account and connect to the Internet every hour. As for steam in order to play on another computer you need to register that computer as valid on your steam account. In order to do that requires a fair amount of effort in comparison. As for playing offline using Steam that only works if you are already logged in and go offline. If your Internet is out and you try to log in it doesn't work. Also the sale thing really only applies a to certain games which some people might or might not care about.

Ya that picture is completely fail. All false. If you internet goes out you cant do steam either, how do you log into their server? For Xbox all you would have to would be recover your account on their console and you can play.

2 RespuestasExcept that you [i]can[/i] play your Xbox One games from any console. The Steam sales didn't start until after Steam had been around for a while. It was a slow start, and I expect nothing different from Microsoft. They had some really good LIVE sales through the last year, and offered very Steam-like prices for a lot of games. They aren't as frequent or as big as the sales that Steam has, but as I said, those things will take some time.

LIES! You can play your game on whatever console you want as long as you log in with your account.

4 RespuestasAnd Microsoft has said that they will as well. Now, I'll admit that Steam and the Xbox One aren't an [i]exact[/i] match, but they're close enough in both form and function that a very good comparison can be made. And the problem with your image is that price points for PoS4/XBO games haven't been announced yet. With the digital download option, XBO game scould very well match the $30 USD price tag of games on Steam while Sony has to charge $60 USD per game because digital download isn't being supported by them as of yet. Which on would sell better then? How is that [i]so much difference[/i] between the two services?

1 RespuestaUntil there are frequent significant sales and good community outreach on the part of Microsoft, I'd say the only similarity is that they both have DRM.
