Why would a publisher want to release a full price $60 game and they get people to only pay $10 for it. It makes no sense at all. GTAV for example is going to sell by the bucket load, oh yeah lets have everyone pay $10 for it instead.
Most people who were pro family sharing were saying "playing games for free", or "me and my mates could buy one game and all play it".
If MS were not able to even properly explain it, to me it suggests they hadn't actually figured it out themselves or had other plans that there were not prepared to reveal. After the mess of the last month, it would not surprise me at all.
