is he sure that he isn't just a fan of another company who tried to write something bad about game sharing?

if it would have been like he says, there is no reason why not everyone could play the "demo" at the same time.

Fake pastebin post, limiting a demo is stupid and bad business; I can't believe anyone would believe this.

24 hour check in and restricting used games is stupid and bad business. What's not to believe about this?

False, those things benefit gamers and publishers, this is just stupid, why limit a free sample? That benefits no one.

The family sharing doesn't sound that great now that the details are out. Very happy with the change.

Another feature that we didn’t speak out about was the fact we were building a natural social network with Xbox One in itself that didn’t require gamers to open their laptops/tablets to post to their other friends nor did they need to wrestle with keyboard add-ons. Each Xbox Live account would have a full “home space” in which they could post their highest scores, show off their best Game DVR moments, what they’ve watched via Xbox TV and leave messages for others to read and respond to. Kinect 2.0 and Xbox One work together and has robust voice to text capabilities. The entire notion of communicating with friends you met online would have been natural and seamless. No reliance on Facebook, or Twitter (though those are optional for those who want them). Everything is perfectly crafted for the Xbox One controller and Kinect 2.0 and given that shine that only Microsoft can provide.

We at Microsoft have amazing plans for Xbox One that will make it an amazing experience for both gamers and entertainment consumers alike. I stand by the belief that Playstation 4 is Xbox 360 part 2, while Xbox One is trying to revolutionize entertainment consumption. For people who don’t want these amazing additions, like Don said we have a console for that and it’s called Xbox 360.

Publishers, maybe, but how the hell do they benefit gamers?

it's not to believe because the whole posts smells like a "let's write a post where i can destroy the only thing people really liked and look like i am an microsoft employee so that everyone believes me"

the whole rest of the post is just to make it more believable.

Game sharing with 10 people from anywhere was never realistic. You really thought a company putting DRM on a home console would give you that luxury? Gullibility!

I felt bad for him at the start of the post, but now I think he's kind of a condescending and arrogant douche.

So the family sharing thing wasn't even a proper sharing thing.

It seems that even if Microsoft spoke more about the "positive" features, they would have ultimately messed up on those too. 

All in all, Microsoft needs to learn "before they speak." That would've really helped them out in every situation in the pass few months.
