Den massiva kritik som låtit sig höras, dels gällande möjligheten att dela och köpa begagnade spel, men främst kravet på att koppla upp sig mot nätet i tid och otid för att kunna spela, verkar vara som bortblåst. I ett urskuldande inlägg tackar man alla gnällon därute för att de fått den stora jätten på bättre tankar. Var det månne så man tänkte när man namngav den nya konsollen, visste man redan då att man skulle bli tvungna att krypa till Korset?
Nåväl, vad som sägs är att:
- En internetanslutning kommer inte att krävas för att spela Xbox One spel. – Efter en engångs system-setup med den nya Xboxen kan du spela vilket skivbaserat spel du vill utan att någonsin behöva koppla upp dig igen. Det finns inget krav på uppkoppling var 24:e timma och du kan ta med dig Xboxen vart du än vill och spela dina spel, precis som på Xbox 360.
- Inbyte, vidareförsäljning, utlåning, gåva eller uthyrning av diskbaserade spel kommer fungera precis som tidigare. – Det blir alltså ingen begränsning på hur du använder eller delar dina spel. Det kommer alltså fungera precis som på dagens Xbox 360.
Your Feedback Matters – Update on Xbox One
Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience. For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future. Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One. You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world. So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
- An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
- Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
