This won't effect the average user. Though I'm curious how Microsoft handles the users who play new games online a lot earlier before their official release.

 

Same way they always have - They don't care if it's a legitimate copy of the game. I had Advanced Warfare (as did thousands of others) on Xbox One about 4-5 days before the official release and played it online with no issues. For the most part, console manufacturers and developers/publishers haven't seemed to care much about this as long as it's not a pirated copy of the game.

 

Then I'll say it again: this won't effect the average user but the legality of this action is a different story and so far it has only effected people who have committed a serious offense.
