No.

Please don't tell me this thread is aimed at trying to make it seem like the 24 hour check in was no big deal.

I hope it is :) Because it is not a big deal and the thread is about just proving it...
I was pissed enough about all that so Microsoft removed their Family Sharing I was hoping for just because of this non-sense...

OT: By the way; for any Xbox One owner, something very weird is happening... 
I pre-ordered my Xbox One but as my EB-Games did not open before 8AM (...) I had to go visit a friend who pre-ordered it somewhere else and got it at midnight.
I logged with my account on his Xbox One, played with him during the night, etc... Then in the morning went to pick up my baby, plugged it in, bought some online games (Ryse, Forza, Powershot Golf and Dead Rising 3), downloaed them, played them, try to log with a different account (my wife, my kids) and it worked okay (they can play games). Now, my friend called me and he actually COULD play those games on his console too. Checked days later and we are actually able to play games on both consoles... Anyone else noticed that?

People using their consoles with the internet does not prove that 24 hour checkup DRM is no big deal. 

One scenario lets you play games with internet and without. The other lets you play games with internet and no games if your internet is out (after a 24-hour period).

 

As for Family Sharing, they never even detailed what it was and even so, it can still be implemented for digital content without a 24 hour checkup DRM since someone would need to be online to begin with just to access it.

Yah we have this debate months ago and it is definitly not an interresting one (esp. on these forums)... It is not a big deal for me and for several others looks like. It seems to be a big one for you (and several others) and I respect that.

Family Sharing: It was detailled :  The plan was clear, buy the game, have up to 10 people added to your "family" and those people can "check-out" games to play them on any console they are logged on (and lock them during that time); this required the 24h check. The fact that some people did not believe it or challenged (as always) Microsoft of hiding or not "revealing" all the details was just pure speculations from haters who saw another great evil plan from MS...

As of now, you do not need to be online at all to play your downloaded games so they cannot implement it for those "already" downloaded games. They can however implement a future way of proptecting these games (maybe to download a 24h required check that can work on many consoles OR like today a version that is tied to your console). Let's just hope that it will happen...
