Seems a cools ideia and can make happy everyone.

so simple and so obvious.   it would eliminate all the BS parts of their system without eliminating any of their features.   why didn't MS think about this prior to the reveal?

I suppose you refer to:

Just an idea here. Why not allow there to be a Xbox Live option to allow "offline" mode, but it disables any family sharing? Like

"If Xbox One hasn't connected in 24 hrs: [] Disable game & Allow Sharing [] Enable Game & Disallow Sharing"

Problems:
- You can load up on games, disconnect xbox one, trade in / give away all those games and keep a fully loaded xbox one.
- What do you do when your xbox one breaks down and now all your games are locked to that bricked xbox one?
- You still can't install a new game off-line (no solution for the troops)
- Maybe there are other things the xbox one exchanges every 24h. (mandatory firmware updates to for example combat potential piracy)
