Indie Games
The Xbox One will no longer have indie games. So to publish your games you will need a big budget and/or a publisher on your side. What does this mean for the developer community? This is not good, developers will go insane at this and this will generally be considered a sin. Indie games is where every triple A game developer starts. Indie games are cheap to develop and it’s a good way to show of your talent. When you make a indie games a publisher will see it, invest in you and then you can make an arcade game. When you have made an arcade game you will gain money to go towards a budget which allows you to make a triple A title game. So removing indie would remove developers, luckily the PS4 and PC are very indie friendly. With the PC you can practically create it for free, but you might need to pay to advertise it. With the PS4 and PS3 I am pretty sure it is free but I can not give that as a 100% answer.
DRM (Piracy protection)
Before this change the way they stopped piracy is by making you log online every 24h – That was stupid. Now you will no longer have to log online every 24h however we do not know how they will stop piracy.
