Durango Implements Always-On DRM, Multi-GPU
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesMicrosoftXBOX One
Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console, codenamed "Durango", will implement an "always-on" DRM, according to a VG 24/7 report. Always-on is a stringent anti-piracy measure that's already in use with some PC game titles published by Ubisoft, which requires the players to be connected to the Internet when playing. Even as its proponents (read: game publishers only), claim increased sales, it faces strong opposition from the gaming community. The Christmas 2013 (tentative) launch of Durango rides on the assumption that fast, always-on broadband Internet will have proliferated to every living room.

The move reported by Germany's Deutsche Presse-Agentur would see about 50 people lose their jobs as Microsoft relocated distribution to the Netherlands. The Windows developer argued that Motorola's H.264 video patent demands made staying in Germany untenable.
A decision is due in Motorola's case versus Microsoft on April 17. If successful, it could ban Windows 7 and the Xbox 360 at the same time, effectively gutting business in Germany. Moving to Germany's neighbor could reduce the vulnerability to legal actions if Motorola wins.
