Then Microsoft will be required to state the term that the license on the game will run. In other words they are reguired to state at pruchase when they are going to shut down the servers. People alway's say ''you buy the license not the game''. Than my question is, what's the term that license can be used?

So does anyone of you guys believe in the following szenario? I really wonder what you think.

Will it be possible to register your friends as family members and share your game library with them. I think that is the only positive hope people here might have. Let real family members play on one account.

Or:

Will Microsoft verify, who really belongs to the family. How will Microsoft define family?! Your married moved out brother might not be considered as family. Will Microsoft verify with Kinect face recognition that only the account owner may play on that account?

So funny most people bashing this the most have something Sony related in their sig. What is even more childish is hating on people who do think this is good. Let erverybody have his own opinion, it's not because you think it's shit it is shit. My main concern is solved, I can turn the kinect off. Connection every 24 hours? No problem, I have fast internet. No used games? I don't buy them, again no problem. The only bad thing is that I can't lend games to a friend but it's not like it's going to kill me.
Microsoft is a western company and now they've come out and said with this console we target only western gamers ( who produce the most money). People who do not live in a western country, too bad you have other options. I don't have any problems with this. This marks my purchase if the games are good.

Translation: We can change the rules as we want.

You forgot second hand games & cloud graphic processing :s

oh come on. Those boycots are childish and from vocal inet fanboys only.
When was the last time a boycott in this gaming industry really worked?

I read this about every CoD, Madden and Fifa.
Every EA game, because of DRM. Reality: SimCity is released and the servers crash, because it sold extraordinary well.

UbiSoft in 2009, because they did nut support the Wii as extensive as 360 etc.
Final Fantasy XIII, because it was released on 360 as well.

Nothing worked and we just laughed about some freaks trying to fight for something that stupid amd moved on.

No i think you will be able to register friends. The only downside will be, and they don't mention this but i'm sure it works this way, only one person can play the game at any given time. So you can add friends if you want, but it's no different from actual lending a copy of the game like today.

I just have one question:

Sometime, I will be on business trip for several days, therefore, I will not open my XBOX ONE to check-in on line in those days.

Am I still able to play games once I came back home and switch on the console?

Nope they can't. If i buy a license for say two years, and i can only use it one year i am entitled to a refund. So if Microsoft would state you can use that game for 10 years and you can only use 5, you are entiteld to a refund. You payed, they didn't deliver. But even if you aren't entitled to a refund and they can change the rules, they are still required to state the term that the license can be used.
