I'm trying to be level-headed about this, but it just keeps getting harder and harder. This has probably been posted, but here it is again.
For now, its just a patent.
What if someone killed me, and dragged my corpse to my Xbox One and started playing MY games?! The outrage!
I know. But just the fact that they've patented something like that boggles my mind.

Source.Major Nelson/MS issues an official statement regarding Used Games on XBox One.
Over the paste few days, we have been reading comments and message boards following the Xbox One announcement. There are a few questions regarding used games. I wanted to clarify and provide this official statement:
The ability to trade in and resell games is important to gamers and to Xbox. Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games. Reports about our policies for trade in and resale are inaccurate and incomplete. We will disclose more information in the near future.
Source.One thing’s for sure: It’s one big gamble for Microsoft.
After eight years on the market, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is being replaced. The company unveiled the Xbox One entertainment console on Tuesday, May 21, and touted it as an all-in-one solution for playing games, watching TV and doing everything in between. Microsoft wants the Xbox One to be central to your living room and packed the new Xbox with entertainment features such as the ability to change TV channels through voice commands.
But does the device work for gamers, who were once and arguably still are its core market? Maybe, maybe not.
“As a gamer, I was a little let down,” Steve Butts, editor in chief of gaming website IGN, told FoxNews.com.
As someone familiar with the business side of Microsoft’s gaming division, the announcement of the Xbox One and its focus on TV, movies and music was unsurprising, Butts said. The new gaming console -- Microsoft said the One was four years in the making -- is expanding into those areas due to a shrinking hardcore gaming market, and in an effort to expand the device’s reach.
And that’s not necessarily what he’s looking for, Butts said.
“I’ve already got something in my house that I can watch TV on, so I don’t need a redundant piece of technology that allows me to do that. It’s not a very compelling message to gamers, and I’m not sure if it’s the consumption pattern that a lot of new-generation folks have for media,” Butts told FoxNews.com.
Visitors to IGN appeared to agree. More than 75 percent of site visitors said they were disappointed with the focus on entertainment over gaming, according to a poll posted on the site.
The Xbox One won't go on sale until later this year, at a price that hasn't been disclosed yet.
Answers to some complaints and questions from gamers, including the announcements of the newest games that will be played on the Xbox One, are likely being held for the E3 entertainment show, which takes place each summer in Los Angeles.
Nevertheless, Microsoft’s newest console makes for good business, Butts made clear.
“I absolutely think it was a smart move. … they’re trying to capitalize on this mainstream exposure. Gaming is becoming ubiquitous,” he said. Yet questions remain, and the console’s success is hardly a foregone conclusion.
“My concern is whether this new generation that’s coming up is consuming television and content the way that Microsoft assumes they are,” Butts said.
“A lot of people we know don’t even have cable television subscriptions."

Polygon is confirming no fee for used games, so there's one thing out of the way. The other thing they mentioned is "regular confirmation checks", but they weren't any more specific than that. It doesn't sound like always-online - more like a check every 24 hours or when starting the game up. They also said they're experimenting with "exemption codes" for people like journalists and soldiers overseas.
Basically, once they get that question answered, it sounds like the main complaint left will be "I'm buttmad that they've only shown a couple of games and are trying to reach a wider audience than just gamers", at least until E3.

"The Xbox One will not require gamers to pay a fee to reactivate a used game, but it will require a regular online spot check to verify the authenticity of games being played, according to sources familiar with the system."
"Our sources also said that there are no plans to charge gamers a fee to sell or reactive a used game. Earlier today, Microsoft's Larry Hryb [Major Nelson] touched on the topic of used games on his blog, but didn't say whether fees will be required.
"The ability to trade in and resell games is important to gamers and to Xbox," according to the official statement he included in his post. "Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games. Reports about our policies for trade in and resale are inaccurate and incomplete.
We will disclose more information in the near future."We reached out to Microsoft for comment and they pointed us to Hryb's statement."
They're not basing that on just Nelson's statement.

Even without the game fee that does not get rid of the other issues, and the lolnogames is hardly a real issue ocmpared to the many issues listed in this thread.TheBlackBaron wrote...

You ever consider that sometimes sources prefer to not be named, for whatever reason? Or that they're talking to an actual source at Microsoft and not just linking an article somebody else wrote?
