I'm getting pretty sick of people saying this as if this was what was threatening XBoxone's viability. MS wasn't ready for an online centric console because their gaming was still centred around selling discs. if MS was going to go all online they should have nixed any disc drive and gone 100% download. I bet an download only console would have sold better than a BRD DRM infested console. Always online / 24hr check in were only ever elements required to support BRD DRM. All other aspects of MS's online "vision" can still be implemented.

That's exactly how i feel, they're trying as hard as the can to spin this in their favor and make it look like they were a victim.

As it stands, one can loan and sell a disc to an unlimited amount of people who can play a game in entirety. What's so hard to understand?

The part where they're trying to stop this because it's so bad for the industry while simultaneously implementing a system to enable you to do just that with up to 9 other people (or perhaps infinite other people, assuming you would have been free to leave one family group and join another). And not just people you know in real life, but random people you've met on the internet.

Maybe it's not actually so hard to understand. It's just impossible to believe.

I don't recall MS stating that sharing was bad for the industry, but that family sharing is the tradeoff for losing transferrable physical media. I assume that the catch to this was that jumping family groups was not possible or at least very restricted. And that family groups are mutually exclusive. And again, it's nothing you can't already do with discs.

This is all beside the point, you are tilting at windmills because this has been and gone.

Or how supposedly enlightened people attack religion.

Human nature, it sucks.

The circle of people you know IRL with an Xbox is pretty limited, so most people aren't going to share games with nine real life friends. This would virtually guarantee that every single copy of every single game will be shared with at least nine friends.

If you think it's so pointless to discuss this feature, then you are free to stop discussing it.

Like I said when this rumor first appeared.. it makes no sense whatsoever. The only excuse the people bitching could come up with is MS wanted a feature to kind of make you forget about DRM. So how are they going to do that with a worthless demo share feature LOL. And that's after they'd spent weeks marketing and talking it up as if it's a full game share LOL. Yeah, people are going to be perfectly ok with the ability to share demos.

A more likely scenario is the one described on multiple websites since this rumor surfaced. You can share full games just like MS described, there are just restrictions. A limit on how long you can play a title per day. A limit on how much of it you can access. A limit on how much of it you can play before being prompted you buy it. Things that would make publishers happy. But demos.. LOL.

Too bad we'll never know since some gamers are afraid of change.

are you this dumb? 

they said is was gonna work the way they said it would. Share and play the whole game.

Not here in this thread... MS confirmed the demo sharing was not the case, that it was full title sharing yet people here desperately cling to it as fact.
