Why can't they do the 10 family member thing now?

Could they do it to begin with? We never really got an exact explanation of what it actually was. Some said it was for 1 hour of gameplay, some said you can share the game freely. The idea was backwards though, we are restricting you selling or lending a game 'disc' to your mate so the developers get their share of used game sales, however if he is part of your friends list he can play the game for free even if he lives 2000 miles away in Dakota.

 

There is no reason though it couldn't work for downloaded games, they'd know if it's a downloaded title. Them removing it makes me think developers didn't like this idea because a game could be shared between many people and if you can just play a game like that why buy it?



Hmm, pie.
