What freedom are you looking for?

You bought a physical media and would like to share it with a friend who lives a 20 minute car ride away? You want the freedom to choose a curier to his house? FedEx or UPS?

I bought a digital game and would like to share as well...no freedom for me.

You don't want freedom, you want to be able to buy used and resell and not pay full price. 

Freedom to do exactly what I want with. Share, give, resell... whatever I want. All that is far more important to me than ease of sharing with someone far away.

Furthermore you want to share cost with 10 people and not pay full price. Don't get all preachy with me.

You were just on the FAR FAR minority on this.


Yeah I guess I was in the minority and I understand people that are not tech savy being scared of DRM, but you fully know technology and love "Always online " on your Chromebook and DRM on your Android phone for software. I really don't know what your deal is here...

And no, I havent traded or resold a console game in years nor do I want to share cause I want to get it for "free". A lot of my friends are on the outs with console gaming because they have kids and families, 2 jobs or other things to kee them busy... They were probably not even going to buy the Xbox One but I was using this to convince them to stick around and get the console.  "Sharing our library, family sharing guys"... Its sound something cool and new that could attract people who have been there and done that. If I want a game I buy it, that will never change.
