NOT PS3, but yes the others work the same


Yes PS3. Download titles that you use on another device can at random ask for confirmation. This is a fact.


Nope PS3 has 2 licenses works only on the first 2 consoles you download it on, and works fine offline, you can get consoles deactivated to reuse licenses. 


Yeah I know. But thats 2 consoles. Thats the license thing its different. But if you were to do it a 3rd time, you get this message on PS3. It still happens.

If it's truly like the PS3 and 360, then all that was needed was to sign into the original purchasing account, download the game, then be good to go on any other profile as long as the game is on the HDD. How could they "download the game to multiple consoles from a few originating profiles – and then not making sure that the console’s had authenticated the game for use in time"? As soon as you sign into your profile and download the game, it's not instantly authenticated?

I don't have an XBone so I don't know, but is there some authentication process, other than being signed into your account and accessing your purchases on XBLA? You would think that if you signed in as selnor1983 (dunno if that's your name on XBL, but you get it), that'd be verification enough to put the game on a given console. I guess I'm just confused as to how you "not make sure the game is authenticated in time" unless authentification is needed after purchase instead of it simply being "selnor1983 has downloaded this game" and you having a verified XBL account is authentic enough

And yes, that happens on PS3, because you're only allowed to give the game out to 1 other console. That one console, however, won't ever "not be authenticated in time" if another profile tries to play the game on said console. The fact that BMaker11 signed in and downloaded the game is enough to play the game.

Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding what's going on here. I agree that the story is a non-issue or the tourney organizers just did something wrong, but I was just addressing a point you made
