If you haven’t heard yet, the gaming community is in a growing uproar after Microsoft clarified comments<\/a> yesterday regarding persistent online requirements, digital rights management, used games policies and Kinect requirements. In summary:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your XBOX ONE has to check in with Microsoft’s servers at least once every 24 hours<\/strong> in order to continue to play offline. If you are playing on a friends console, that time period is reduced to one hour<\/strong>. In Microsoft’s own words “Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies.”<\/li>\n
  2. Regarding the transfer of used games to a new party, Microsoft is putting game transfer rights in the hands of the publisher. If a publisher does allow it, Microsoft has two requirements: “You can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days<\/strong> and each game can only be given once<\/strong>.”<\/li>\n
  3. When it comes to the Kinect, it cannot be disconnected<\/strong>. Microsoft said the user will have control over privacy settings and will be alerted how audio \/ video data is being used by the Kinect. Microsoft also claims that the data won’t leave the XBOX ONE unless authorized by the user.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We have collected some of the best memes and illustrations expressing dislike and frustration of these policies. Check them out below:<\/p>\n
