I don't think this is directly related to the game sharing feature. |
The twitter pic is talking about both simultaneously, well the Xbox person is.
To me this is all very clear.
1) For a SINGLE CONSOLE, all users on that console can share the same Live account and thus the same game library.
NOTE: This is identical to having a normal DRM free disc game.
2) For MULTIPLE CONSOLES, a user can select up to 10 other individuals to share the games. Only restriction is a single game can only be played by a single person at a time. So you can play multiplayer with one of those 10 users unless they also had a copy of the game on their own.
NOTE: This is identical to having a normal DRM free disc game.
What MS is doing is simply adding the advantage of a digital system to the physical limitation of a disc. Its no different.
However on option #2 you have some interesting leeway since you can have say 2 of 10 buy a game like COD and then any 2 members of that group can do the mutiplayer too by simply using each other's copies. So you can create a sharing group and maybe rotate responsibilities with games that satisfy's the whole group.
Of course you could always be doing that same thing with a local group so its not like there is much difference beyond having to had eachother the game.
