Well, obviously.  This is part of the issue.  Then again, if I can share a game with 10 friends and they can share with me.... it doesn't sound so bad does it.

Question, what if it isn't unlimited sharing or there are restrictions in who's able to play when. When does this program become "useful" for lack of a better word.

Maybe 10 would be excessive, I suggested before it should be limited to 'Family sharing' so if you have a list of say 4 users as part of your family (like the pay once per console Gold thing), then they can use the game but only 1 at a time. So it's pretty much the same as sharing a game with friends by giving them the disc, while they have it you don't so you can't play it but it if has multiplayer and you want to play together, you both have to buy it.

However, as the console is no longer always online check stuff, how would it know if someone is playing it on one console already if they aren't connected to Live?


For this I assume it would need to be connected. Which is fine. And I doubt this would be unlimited sharing. So I guess to refine my question would be what are reasonable restrictions. For me, being online if you aren't the one who owns it is fine. But I doubt that would be it. I'd think there would be a friend limit and time limit which I would think would make or break the service
