Something like this was really needed. Being the rapid pessimist that I am, I really didn't expect Microsoft to do something like this. Good for them. I'm fine with Microsoft maintaining reasonable, unobtrusive DRM on XBLA content. The games, etc. are a commodity. They have to charge for these things. They have to protect this content so that new users will continue to pay for this content. If you don't like that, then don't download from XBLA. It's that simple. It’s about time.
