In order to authenticate, the player would also need to link to some type of online network, similar to the EPCglobal Network, that would associate the DVD with a legal sale.
Isn't this similar to what Steam does and one of the reasons why people don't like it? What happens if their authentifications servers go down?
Windows machines with Radeon cards have this option too. I had forgoten about it until I read this but now I'm going to have some fun screwing with my brother when I go home for the summer
Why would microsoft care if the Valve made games for xbox only? As it is now unless you're using an emulator you have to be running a microsoft OS to play valve games.
maybe this will help the condition of the network access provided in the dorms. I have a few friends living there who say the network sucks for anything other than basic web browsing, email, and IM. Games are next to impossible for my friends to play from the dorms.
