I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

I think they should half bring them back. There should be an option to enable family sharing for digital titles, but at the expense of having to connect every 24 hours(if that's an absolute necessity for the system). That also adds the benefit over the original system of you being able to access your owns games whenever you want by simply disabling the 24h check and all associated features when you need to.

"We want back the features that the "trolls" of the internet has complained away!"

That is just a blatant lie... MS changed the policies cause the majority of consumers weren't buying their crap. I'm sorry there was nothing future proof, or next gen about the DRM policies...

That being said being able to turn a disc copy into a digital copy was a cool feature, and some of the other things might be advantageous for gamers as well.

They could allow users to play their games offline indefinitely on a home console like ps4 and still do the family sharing / access any where.

Most of the DRM policies revolved around control for MS, and don't actually benefit consumers at all. The other stuff was added or in the works for trying to give some sense of benefits to gamers like family sharing, but who knows what that actually would have been like at all. Certainly they would not of allowed one to game share with 10 people freely with out strings attached that made it effectively a hugely different sharing than what most people seemed to assume it would be.

pretty sure that's the plan (some day bringing back the sharing) but since they just decided to drope the DRM system all together they have made a patch for that need to see if it's bug free and then find a new approach to allow the sharing if they are still doing it down the line....

the initial plan was to allow it for everybody even disc copies since it was merely a delivery support initially.... they probably didn't have real dissociation between DD and disc for the plan.... the patch is just lifting DRMs all together.... now they need to enable the sharing plan differently.... so first launch, patch, check if patch works as they planed, then study for sharing plan patch and solutions, then deploy patch....

that's how I see it anyway,

Yes, this would be good and honest: offering benefits to those that accept the daily check, but without forcing it, particularly for offline gaming. It would be a fair deal in which both parts give and receive and in which the weakest part doesn't suffer any damage.

What "restrictions" are there? Also please stop throwing DRM around as a bogey man, the Playstation also has DRM.
