They are just confusing themselves and their consumers. The potential is their and for people who are complaining about not sharing obviously didn't read the policy careful as the sharing it to 10 friends and those 10 friends have unlimited access to all your games is huge. The potential on how it can expand potential have unlimited game sharing is huge Don't see how you guys would miss that .


I don't have one friend who wants an XO, let alone 10.


Thats the thing,, gamers these are stuck back in the past rather then moving forward and allowing for technology and change because how we use to play back in the 80s , 90s and 00s won't happen forever . it iwll eventually will die out and move towards the digital era. If gamers are resistant to change might as well jsut go back to ps1 and stay ther lol because jsut playing games with one controller with shinier graphics won't cut it anymore plus piracy is a big thing. None gamers seem to realize that mnone of us actually own the game we buy. We own the license to play it and we are not allowed ot share or rent it , or loan but we do tha tanyway because you think its right because you pay for it. Sadly when you allow a person to finish a gameme withou payign for it ,,, you are hurting the developers because its equivalent f stealign a game from the shop  and reaping the benefits. Becauswe we are so used idea nad belief that onc ewe pay for it , its ours, we then get stuck into it so when a big coporations implement policies liek MS did ,, people go ape shit . Little did the yknow those thinsg have been in there sicne the ages ,, and teh only difference this time is that  the publishers is keeping a closer look because its not cheap to ,make game. yes i know gamers like yourself will come with plenty of excuses as why its not hurtign teh industry blah blah .

 

 

 

The most common excuse would make a better game. I would beleive that if it was entirely true ,, however theres one good example where th egame wa sreall good but it got pirated more times then it actually sold. That example is Witcher 2. Excellent RPG  , excellent game but it got pirated 4.5 million tomes. Thats alot of money  gone and never reachign the developers. The company  is small but they got lucky so it won' t get affected as much but imagine how much more they would have profited and be beneficial to the company  if they weren't pirated that much. Now if it was  smaller company and got pirated that much ,, they won't be as lucky  and could get risk of shutting down.  So yes teh excuse of make better games is bs because even good games like witcher 2 gets pirated. Therefore i am glad MS in a way is tryign to stop. Its high time that gamers buy their games instead of sharing. If you want to share ,, then xbox one has it with 10 family members which i splentiful and very generous.
