Game sharing will kill the used game market.
Why would you pay someone for a used game he is not playing anymore, when you can play the same game without paying for it?

This is MUCH better than used game sales. Don't deny it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

That would be the case if:

You want all your stuff be digital; if you want all your stuff to be behind and authetication wall; If you want to pay monthy in order to access all your games, If you want to not access your games when your ISP is going under mantainance; If you dont want to actually own the games you buy at retail.

XBO restrictions and options are bizarre.  Don't deny it ;)

The shared game thing seem like a pretty good feature, why isn't MS shouting this to the moon?? It would be a huge way to combat the negative perception of sharing limitation, especially if the ability extend to friends as they implied.

My guess is, they only came up with the idea after the first wave of complaints, that's why the idea seemed a little under cooked and poorly explained.


They are moving too slow, I guess they need to ink out a deal with publisher but the cancer is already spreading...

At least he's consistant with his message unlike MS

Exactly, Major Nelson is in direct contradiction with other MS executives.

No problem.  I will continue to say it as many times as I see fit.

Have a nice day ;)

So as he explains the family plan, all ten members pool their games and then can check them out as per a library. So one copy of a game can be played by exactly one person at a time.

I still think the interviewer here confused the question and get an answer to the wrong/confused question. He kept wording it as "Can two family members play the game at the same time" or other similar variations. He did not really explain the scenario correctly of  "I buy the game, share it with my dad, can we both play at the same time?" He never got a chance to finish the example and so I think this question got all screwed up.

Yes, only 1 of your 10 family members can play your shared game at at time. This was never disputed.

However, from everything MS has said so far, you (as the original purchaser) can always play your game, regardless of if someone is playing your shared copy.

That would imply that yes, I could buy a game and my friend could play with me playing my shared copy, at the same time.



Wow legit anger generated there with Nelsons reply when Joe asks if the service is going to provide the stuff which steam does in terms of pricing... Does steam have the Microsoft Xbone family pack?!!! does Steam Have Halo on it?!!!! Is steam called the xbone? I think you'll find that wasn't the fucking question Major N, if you can't answer the question don't fucking resort to the 12 year old mentality of "WELL I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT ARE MYYYYYY?" it's pathetic to see this is their official type of response, just absolutely retarded amounts of avoidance to the real questions and concerns of their customers.

 

edit - That part at 7:25 when the handler stops him from answering an absolutely losing question, comedy gold. Don't answer that... the answer no matter how you spin it is death for us..... Next question!



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

He doesn't seem that angry tbh...
