What's funny is that they DID hint at this. In an obfuscated way. We just never noticed.

Remember when the DRM was first revealed? The easiest complaint was "What if I wanted to take it to my friend's house?"

Remember the response?

We just glossed over that because we figured, during the PEAK of the "24 hour check" freakout, that 1 hour offline for visiting a friend was just more shit on the cake.

Nope.

That was the max amount of time a friend could play a copy. Period

It was in front of our face the whole time.

MS always hinted to the 60 min Family Share feature but like everything said by MS was hidden in the confusion.

Being at a friends house and letting him try a game has nothing to do with the family share plan. The family share plan was a folder in the cloud that could be used by anyone from your group of 10.
