I mean it never looked good, but it looks really rather sketchy in timeline form. To get the whole thing I would suggest looking up Game Informer, but some of the highlights are:
April 4th - Adam Orth tweets about the always online requirement followed by the hashtag Dealwithit. The following week he quits. Okay.
April 10th - Marc Whitten states definitely that Xbox One's used game policy will be identical to the 360's. He is quoted as saying people will be able to take their physical games back to a retailer and sell or buy them.
June 6th - The system will not allow used-game reselling and mandates console check-ins to prevent loss of game playing privileges.
June 12th - Don Mattrick tells folks that if they can't maintain some form of connectivity they should stick with the 360. Phil Spencer says they've stated their policy on used game restrictions and that's all there is to it. Wow... jerks.
June 19th - 180 on everything recent
July 1st - Don Mattrick leaves for Zynga
July 3rd - New organization and leadership
So...very...sketchy. I'm not touching the Xbone with a 30 ft. pole at this point.
