Microsoft confirmed reports that it's doing an about-face on its used games and always on policies for the Xbox One



From Techradar:

Today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360, wrote Don Mattrick in an official blog post today. The Microsoft president of interactive entertainment business went on to say than an internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games. The system will only require a one-time connection to setup a new Xbox One. After that, gamers are free to play any disc-based game without going online again. This does away with the much-maligned 24-hour check-in requirement that would have made even offline, disc-based games null and void with a day-long dropped internet connection.
