    To me this sounds like a feature to justify recording everything done on the PC in order to phone it back to Big MS.

    This reminds me of the period when AAA game companies were trying to mandate persistent online connection as part of DRM, and looked specifically for game mechanics to justify it. It often didn’t work, or worsened the game.

      It always makes it worse for the gamer. I was sailing the high seas back then and getting cracked games was double click, and you’re good to go. Real games were please insert disc, disc not found, unable to continue. Bye.

      DRM has always been an absolute bane that throws players under the bus because fuck you money
