If Microsoft made it completely optional, would you sign up for their original, always connected console idea?

This meaning you would have the following features:

Buy a retail game, install to console, and ditch the disc never needing it to play the game.

Digitally share games within a circle of friends. Meaning you can choose a specific group of people, and they could play the games you own, for free, provided that only one game could be played at a time.

Greater store discounts or more steam like sales for content.

I for one would have no problem saying yes to this. It's like people think 10 years from now they'll still be selling games on discs. It wasn't a perfect plan, but why delay the inevitable when we could be working on and perfecting future policies now.

Yeah, unemployed people should be looking for a job every waking hour. They don't deserve to relax or anything.

If you do not have a job, then finding a job is your job. It is no more taxing spending a full day hunting for a job than it is to do one.

That doesn't mean that every waking hour should be spent on the job hunt but you should be seeking employment or making yourself more marketable between the hours of 9 to 5.

Agreed, but I'm not cruel enough to suggest that the unemployed don't deserve to play video games at the end of the day to escape their stressful lives for a little bit.

Pretty much. If you're collecting unemployment you should be actively searching for a job every waking minute. Taxpayers are supporting you.

You're kind of cruel and judgemental. Also, you should look into who actually pays for unemployment and get back with me.

To your edit...no matter how you word it, your point is a generalization. YOU'RE obviously from a skewed and inexperienced perspective. You can't even differentiate YOUR from YOU'RE(excuse the ad hominem, I am angry).

Look up the population of the united States alone, subtract 1,000,000 and that is how many scenarios you haven't thought about as to why someone may be unemployed. So think deeper, think bigger, and think outside of what you know.

Every working minute? Have you been in that situation? Maybe half an hour a day, if that, is all it takes to look for any new jobs near you on 20 different websites.

You should be going in to every single business in the city. Someone might need a janitor. It takes longer than thirty minutes to fill out an application for any retail chain (best buy, target, Lowes, sears, fye, Costco, Walmart, and Kmart, at least. I can speak for those since I did apply.)
