[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7534539, member: 4348"] PS4 has restrictive DRM. If you own more than one console, you can only play your downloaded games on one of them offline...otherwise you must be online. If you want to change to use the other offline, you have to disable the first one before you can enable the other one. Games are restricted to one profile. PS4 has no backwards compatibility. Xbox One has less restrictive DRM. You can make one your primary, get it offline and make another your primary. As long as the first stays offline you can continue to play. You can do this up to five times (PS4 is once every 6 months I think). Xbox one has limited backwards compatibility. Xbox One looked like it was going to be worse when it was announced, but due to backlash and competition I'd put the Xbox One as solidly better then the PS4 currently. Steam has backwards compatibility, restrictive DRM but allows you to basically download your games any time you want and play them when you want. GoG also exists and has no DRM. Combine they have more games available then any console out there. PC seems like the best, though the most expensive, option. Android and Ipads also exist, some games are good, some aren't. The microtransaction is king. [/QUOTE]
