Has anyone here played their XOne/PS4 offline for more than 24h?

Don't worry, they will bring the family share back without the need for the check in. Competition will ensure that they find a way.

As for the family sharing NEEDING a 24 hour check in. I am pretty sure Steam's Family Sharing does not. Up to (10) people can be given access and only (1) at a time can play.

You weren't getting (10) people have access and all (10) can play at once.

Not sure why you bring Steam into that, if Steam does not need the check to share games, good for their customers :) But Xbox One required it and it was not bothering me. I prefer the 24h + the Family Sharing than nothing...

And yes, 10 people could play AT ONCE at 10 different games of your collections (as long as they were part of your family), it was at least the claim :) Now if you want to do not believe it it is fine, but the promise was very appealing!

I brought Steam into it because it is obvious that it IS NOT a requirement. It was just an anti-consumer policy added to their games.

You would prefer the 24h + family sharing than nothing. I would prefer no 24h + family sharing. Steam shows it can be done and just by knowing it can be done I don't understand why people would just go with the "whatever, i'll just deal with it" because that kind of laid back attitude will trickle across the entire industry.

 

MS also never claimed you can add (10) people and all (10) can play simultaneously. 

 

 

Edit - Also just think about it. What publisher or developer would allow (1) sale to be playable concurrently by up to (10) people? That is a loss of (9) game sales. Even Phil Spencer stated that it wouldn't be (10) people playing concurrently. It would be like a library check out system. (1) at a time and when one is done, the others can play.

It will end up working just like the family share plan on Steam, which is still a fantastic feature. Just you watch.
