Thank you all for tuning in, and I hope you all enjoyed the first edition of Game On; I have some updated information for the gamers that are in the backstage that I think a lot of them might like to hear... We've had a lot of people, since E3, saying that they are sticking with the Playstation 4 for a few very important reasons. DRM, which stands for Digital Rights Management for those of you who do not know, was a huge issue on the Xbox One --- as well as the ALWAYS ONLINE feature, and making it a requirement to continue playing after a 24 hour period.
Today, there are rumors --- not cited as truth from Microsoft, but they come from trusted sources. Crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath. There are rumor that Microsoft will reverse their call on the strict DRM and always online feature.
That's just a small piece. You may check my sources at all of the following:

We are still waiting to get this directly from the official Xbox or Microsoft website, but these are the sources. Cross your fingers, gamers!
