It's a good feature but there are issues with it.
-Who wants to let your friends have access to your Xbox Live account? Even family members...
-These games will have to be downloaded to a system, so that will take forever for games such as MGS V which is likely to be 50GB.
-Only one person can play the game at a time. So this is useless especially for multiplayer games.
I think Microsoft knows this feature isn't really that great or else they would have talked about it in their presentation. |
1. They don't have access to your account. This is actual game sharing, this isn't sharing like on PS3 where you literally hand your account over to someone else.
2. Of course they'd need to be downloaded.
3. As opposed to disc-based sharing, where when you give your disc to a friend not only can the other people in the group not access that game but neither can you. At least in this set up with one purchase you can play the game along with a friend.
The feature is amazing from the sound of it. Not surprised that you're downplaying it though.

1. Good.
2. Yeah, which is a hassle.
3. Only one person can play it at a time. Read the last paragraph in the OP. "The only limitation, it seems, is that only one person can be playing the shared copy of a single game at any given time."
The feature would be amazing if it wasn't so complicated and hard to explain. Not surprisng you're praising it though.
