It's good that they are keeping it where any one can play it on the primary console, regardless of the account. It does suck that they are taking away the share model, though. They already dropped it to 2 of each system, instead of the original 5, so I don't see the big deal in keeping it. In fact, it allowed me and my buddy to buy more games than we normally would, since we could go halvsies on our purchases.

@ selnor

 You honestly think that MS, of all companies, is going to allow you to share your games with up to 10 people? HIGHLY doubtful. Unless they either reinstate the DRM or there are catches to that plan, like they only get an extended demo of your games, I wouldn't hold your breath.

why not?

they do it with their software now.

I have office 365 and I am allowed to download the full office suite (usually a few hundred pounds) on up to 5 devices, no problem.

well the profit margin is lower on games than on a software like office suite 365 and you freaking need to pay a monthly fee or annual to use that feature you silly wonbat, 2)10 is bigger than 5, 3) what about third party developers are they as generous as Microsoft. Games will be more expansive to make but for some magic reason if you buy a copy you'll be able to give it away to 10 people for free, naaaa the demo is the most plossible explaination

YOu also pay a monthly fee for LIVE.  I can easily see this adopted for Gold members.

99.99$ a year per household (5devices )for a few software included in that suite vs the entire X1 library (10 X1s) for 50$ a year come on kowenicki. this is vgchartz not dreamochartz lol
