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

Something is not right about this. Either it won't last or there's a catch to it. Because, as many pointed out, publishers won't stand for it.


Well if you share call of duty with ten people that's ten possible DLC purchases for it......I'm gessing

If you read the thread, MS has said you can be playing a game and 1 person from your family can play the same game.

I am not seeing anything complicated or hard to explain about it.

The article itself is very contradicting. They say you can play with one family member then later they say its limited to one person at a time.

Third parties made Sony cut back their game sharing on PS3 from 5 people to 2. I don't see how this will stand. If this really is as it sounds, it's far more detrimental to sales than big, bad used games supposedly are.


There has to be a catch. Otherwise, this would completely contradict everything they've been doing.



Wasn't this posted yesterday?
Anyways, yeah this feature is awesome and its kinda why I'm more inclined to getting an Xbox One 2 years after launch rather then at the end of the generation like I previously thought I would. What's even more cool about it is that 2 people in your "family" can play the game at the same time. I found that very awesome.

Perhaps one person other than main account where game was bought. 

OT: Interesting concept but this can do more damage than psn game sharing. Would be cool to see how this plays out.

No it isn't. Only one person can play the shared copy at a time. If I am the owner of the game, my copy is not the shared copy. The shared copy is the copy in the cloud that my 10 family members can download and play. Only one of them can play it at a time, just like if it were a disc I was passing around. The only difference is while one friend has the "disc", I can still boot up my copy and play with him.

Yeah, PSN game sharing seems to be gone or very hard to actually do these days. That's probably why Microsoft isn't promoting it.

I get it now. Thanks for clearing it up.
