Well, we really get our spiritual bread buttered where? I hope it isn’t Microsoft because we’re in heap trouble if we are. They’re another merchant. But God should be our master and ultimate love. We should use the merchant’s goods in the glorification and love of God, if that is possible. If not we can hold our peace and not fret about how Microsoft is selling their stuff.

I've just been finding it interesting reading the commentary on what Microsoft has been doing. Mostly, that seems to be ignoring their customer base in favor of a platform that glories DRM over "play". I find it fascinating (here's the butter) that MS is so willing to ignore what their customer base wants in favor of what it is telling them is "much better".

So now it will be fascinating to watch how things develop. Will MS back down on DRM and "always connected" in favor of what their consumers want or will they foist this current system on the market despite the numerous protests to the contrary?

We are absolutely watching the free market in action. I want to see if their consumers really mean what they say about the new XBox being "invasive". Gamers want to play, not "feed the beast". It remains to be seen if all of the stuff that MS is touting for the XBox will enhance the gamer experience or make it a cumbersome, unfun event.

All we know right now is something like 95% of the commentary is passionately against the Xbox one as it is being presented. Disregarding the wishes of one's customers is typically a bad idea. Let's see if there are any consequences to this.
