Will consumers say "all is forgiven"? I mean after all NOTHING would stop MS from re-instituting the DRM policy at a later date after you've paid for your console of course.
Maybe, but at least they're doing something about it, even if it is nothing but a giant picture of them raising the white flag. At least they released that they overstepped big time on DRM and are reeling it in. Could they re-institute it later on? Of course. It's no different than EA being able to re-institute online passes sometime down the road. Will they though? I doubt it. The public backlash and fury that would follow if they just one day decided to slam it all back on probably really would bury the Xbox One and MS. Because of that, I doubt they'll consider DRM on a console again until the next next-gen consoles (and only after Sony has revealed what they plan to do).
