Overall this is simply a victory for "us",Adam. Aka, microsoft changed because we refused to be silenced. I'm glad it played out that way because you're right, if we accepted it complacently Sony might have followed suite. (Though based from early interviews Sony seemed pretty okay with used games and offline functionality. Unless they lied about that I don't believe they changed it up at the last second. But hey, I could be wrong. I'm not exactly "in like flint" when it comes to the gaming industry's vault of dirty secrets. lol.)
