Because he bought them
If this whole "you dont own your games thing is true" then they need to advertise that you are renting these games at full price if we dont "own" them anymore
| Mistershine said: They already said that if you buy a game and your son goes to a friends house he will be able to play it there because of the family account thing. So in theory all you need to do is setup a guest account for the second Xbox. Currently XBLA ties your game to the first console you buy it on but lets you play on any console as long as you sign in to Live, so even if it used this method you could just buy the games on the secondary console and use them on the main console while logged in as you. |
They said this about family account?
From what I remember, they said you can go to a friend's house and play it on your account on his xb1, but when you and your account leave, he would still have it installed but need to pay to play it. There wasn't any mention of disc or family account, iirc.

it's basically what happens right now when you buy a new game as a digital download
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I doubt it since you have to log online so much on XBone apparently. It wouldn't work having to log online with Steam, 360, or PS3. I don't think it would next gen either.
Well it seems they are going the Steam route meaning you can only play if your tag is active on that machine at the moment. So if you and your brother have 2 consoles but all the games are tied to your name you are boned if you want to play 2 different games you own on each of those machines. Current XBOX procedure dictates that digital content gets 1 license assigned to the console and 1 to the GT. So someone can play (even under another GT) anything I own on my console and I can play any of those games on another console under my GT.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Out of curiosity, why do you guys think that digital downloads of console games hasn't gotten more traction? If all games were available for download and performed at the same quality, would you still go to places like GameStop to buy your games?

Nope. When you log in to one PC it logs you off steam on the other.
Though I suppose you could log on to steam, go into offline mode, then log into steam on another PC. Would lock you out of online functionality though.

No, you can't log into another 360's without being booted off the first one. This will continue I'd imagine. Can you log into 2 PS3's at the same time to play the same game?
Question's a little pointless mate.
My god e3 can't come soon enough because everybody here just keeps telling the same old news and jokes over and over again. I think I might go insane before next week reading this stuff again and again.
