Forums - Microsoft - XBONE this is BIG! Pillaged from NeoGaf

Im pretty sure that the owner of the disk can play when ever and only 1 out of ten can play from the shared library

Im starting to think that ms is giving things out in sections the entertainment stuff was at the revel, games were at e3, so maybe xbox live is at the next con

Augh, honestly, this isn't going to be anything remotely as they are touting it to be and if anyone thinks otherwise they are absolutely out of their minds IMO.


Well sony better hope that you are right cuz if not...oh boy...things might play out differently if 10 people can share one game...

Wrong verb. This will be even worse.

That gen is just going to be awesome if it comes true.



Wow, third parties are going to hate this, I'm assuming. Now the people don't even have to pay a used game fee or anything. Each game purchase can potentially = 10 playable games.

You and your friends can play COD together without all needing to buy the game. That is huge.

Yeah I think it works exactly like this. If someone is playing a game from my shared library, no one else on my list can access the library. One reason why I think the impact on sales from this will be minimal.

And Activision has never given a shit about used games to the point of using online passes because more used copies of COD = more map packs sold. But if you can share COD (+ presumably all your DLC maps) with 10 people... ruh roh!



Nope turns out multiple people can play at the same time. But yet again sony could implement the same thing to their digital title, not quite a truly unique feature.



This is the ONLY nice feature of their new system's DRM. To me, however, I'd rather have open used game sales with my physical content.

Also, secpierre34... multiple people cannot play the same game at same time. Its no different than if you were actually sharing the physical copy of the game. Well, beyond its only with 10 people.



It's a good feature but there are issues with it.

-Who wants to let your friends have access to your Xbox Live account? Even family members...
-These games will have to be downloaded to a system, so that will take forever for games such as MGS V which is likely to be 50GB.
-Only one person can play the game at a time. So this is useless especially for multiplayer games.

I think Microsoft knows this feature isn't really that great or else they would have talked about it in their presentation.
