Sharing and gifting games should have never left for digital games policy. There is literally no reason they had to take it away.

It need the daily DRM check in to work they way they had it set up.  Otherwise one person could buy a game, and gift it to everyone.

To gift a digital game requires an internet connection.  So DRM should already be in place for digital games.  I don't see any reason why they got rid of it.

While I agree taking it away from digital purchases seemed a little odd, I think it has to do with the sharing part. How much 'sharing' could you do? Inconsistant reports didn't help but many presumed that you could let someone else play the entire game you've purchased. This for digital games only is something that would be more hurtful that piracy (as I presume currently you can't really pirate games downloaded from XBL or PSN etc). I could buy a game and say to my mates "don't bother buying it, I own it already, just play mine.", this is especially potent for single player indie games.
