@DramacydalN3D to be fair, I think you have a valid point there.
The next next gen of consoles I think will be purely digital, no disc... in this context the whole DRM situation becomes more 'acceptable'.
DRM/Licensing on steam isn't such an issue because they don't **** their customers over - look at all the great deals you get, its an open market.... heck if you time it right you can even pick up a 'new' game for a good discount (offer).
Microsoft on the other hand would rape your wallet dry. I don't trust them with a steam-like store.
"Provided the individual publisher approves, disc-based Xbox One games are also able to be traded between friends, but only once per game. There are no fees for trading titles between friends, Microsoft says, but users are required to have been friends on Xbox Live for at least 30 days before making a trade."
