Elder Scrolls Online on PS4 and XBO requires CD key, rental and resale hindered

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

When console gamers get a chance to buy The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited for either the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, the thing they grab in a package will contain a CD key. That’s right, welcome back to the 90s and early 2000s, folks. CD keys are a thing again.

If you want to play the obviously always online Elder Scrolls Online, you’ll need this one-time-use CD key. That means you have to buy the game new, no rentals, resales or loans to friends allowed.

This whole thing came up on the game’s official forums, and one of the devs responded with specifics that confirm the existence of the CD key requirements.

“To clarify, you will need a unique game registration code in order to play the game, and used copies will not be eligible to receive a key if the code has already been redeemed…

…It works the same way as the PC version in that the code included in the box is to activate your ESOTU account and the discs are for installation purposes. If you own the disc but don’t have a key, you’ll be able to install the game and reach the login screen, but you won’t be able to log in and access the game without an active ESOTU account.”

Wowsers.

Some folks are offering up that this totally makes sense and is a non-story because the game is an MMO. Perhaps, but TESO is an MMO trying to make it on the console scene, a place with different standards for rental, loan and resale. The game should adapt to the standards of the platform, and not ask its users to change their frame of minds in order to play along.

So, no, you won’t be able to get TESO: Tamriel Unlimited used. You also won’t be able to rent it.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
