"UK retailer GAME has praised Microsoft&amp;#039;s decision to reverse Xbox One used games measures. Describing the policy reversal as &amp;quot;really positive&amp;quot;, a GAME spokesperson told VideoGamer that the Xbox One now offers fans more freedom.   &amp;quot;I certainly think for the gaming community, regardless of retail, as the statement from Microsoft appears to have said, they&amp;#039;ve listened to the gaming community,&amp;quot; the GAME representative explained. &amp;quot;And if that&amp;#039;s the one to put at large I guess it&amp;#039;s the right decision. So from our point of view it&amp;#039;s really positive because it benefits the gaming community.&amp;quot; The view is shared by divisional general manager Kevin McFeely, who was asked whether the policy reversal gives the store and gaming community more flexibility. &amp;quot;Absolutely. And that was the feedback from customers, not GAME essentially,&amp;quot; McFeely replied. &amp;quot;So I think the customer - certainly the gaming community - will be really, really pleased with the announcement, because again, it just gives them more opportunities and more of a freedom to do what they want,&amp;quot; he added.  Microsoft changed its policies for used games and online connectivity for disc-based games yesterday. The console will no longer need to be online once every 24 hours, instead only requiring an internet connection when initially setting up the system. Discs will function as they did on Xbox 360, with no restrictions on borrowing or selling used games.  The news has been praised by large sections of the gaming community, although Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski believes that it will lead to studio cuts and &amp;quot;tacked-on multiplayer&amp;quot;.
