With an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription and an Xbox One, if I have 5 people in my family, everyone has the same Gold subscription access.  I don't have to be logged in for them to use my Xbox LIVE Gold subscription.  I don't have to give them my gamertag or password.  The only thing I have to do is log into the console and purchase apply the subscription to it. 

After that, anyone else using that console can use it with my subscription and they can play any of my games that I bought (likewise I can play any of theirs).

The net effect is that an Xbox LIVE Gold account while still tied to a user is console wide.

Is that true with PS+?  By the way it is PlayStation Plus NOT PlayStation Network Plus thus PS+ or PS Plus not PSN+ or PSN Plus.  And I already know the answer I'm just really asking a rhetorical question because I want you to say it.  I want those lovely words to have to be typed in and written in a comment for me to read.

It'll be like porn on the Internet.  I'll fap to it.

Go ahead now.  Tell me how many people can use my PS+ account without me being logged in or at home.

MS just split up the accounts. Don't worry, they're throwing you a bone with three free months of Xbox Live for the inconvenience, but everyone else after the period is up is going to have to pay their own way effective on the 27th.

That's all well and good, but that's related to the Xbox LIVE Family Plan, which is an Xbox 360 feature.

On the Xbox One, if I subscribe to an Xbox LIVE Gold membership with one Xbox Live Gold membership, anyone in my household or any of my friends can use my Xbox One with their account, and have full access to Xbox LIVE Gold features (including my game purchases) with their account.  I don't have to be home.  I don't have to be present.  Assuming they don't have an Xbox LIVE Gold account.

Likewise, if I go to my nephews dorm, log in with my account at his Xbox One.  Once again, he can use all of the features available on Gold and access all of my games and game content.

If you say so. :)
