Are you thinking of the Xbox One? That was the one that, at announcement, was trying to sell itself as an entire entertainment control center for watching TV and whatnot, required always-on Kinect, required a call home every few days to play games you physically owned on discs, etc.
And that was basically all walked back, and I don't think the latest generation of consoles does anything like that.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoYes, actually I am. Thanks for correcting me. And currently from my experience you can't play single player on many games without an internet connection and things like that. The only thing I can see that isn't in them is the always on camera, but they've got that sort of stuff in the TV now. The rest of it, requiring an internet connection to phone home, forced updates, non-ownership over the media, all have become the reality at this point.
