Not so fast

Cue standing ovation and the nail in the coffin. It's clear people care about this stuff.

If by "nail in the coffin" you mean "nail in the coffin for me," sure. For the rest of the population, it's too early to say.

It is clear that people care about this stuff. It's not clear how many they are, or what percentage of them were in that auditorium tonight. It's very possible that Microsoft's focus testing on these issues has told them correctly that there are enough people who don't or won't care out there to make a viable market (when factoring in the allure of such policies to publishers).

The book on this is far from closed. Honestly, I think the price difference is much more likely to influence people than policies re: used and loaned games. The hooting and hollering from the gamenista, while it brought me great joy, might end up being a loud bunch of nothing.
