I agree wit the concept, but there are a bunch lawyers behind all sort of licensing changes that we can't see.

It's why you can't stream Netflix in the UK the same as in Canada or the USA. The companies license there media to specific markets.

It's like DriectTV, you can a USA signal in both Canada and Mexcio, but DirectTV works hard to make sure people can't do that.  Not to be mean, but they have to honor the contrants they have signed to broadcast the shows, movies and music they show.

If they do not, they are violating international laws.

It's not that the concept can't be done, it's the legal aspects that get in the way.

They could check for license before you download the game. Like, if the game is already registered on one console, the system asks the user to first unregister it, which could be done via smartphone if the Xbox is in standby mode. The download on your friends console will not start until the license on your console is removed. Until you do not renew the license, your friend can play the game, even when offline. 

Just a quick idea, but I'm sure there are other ways than an online check every 24 hours.

I know we didn't agree. What? Did you really believe I thought that?

I'm just pointing something out which has been omitted from the argument, that being that the entire share function is nonsense from the start. Just watch what this "let's see how we can get it to work" changes from the family share to whatever system they come up with. Meanwhile they dangle this "10 people can play one game" in front of you right here right now, when it isn't even a feature, and let's face it. This isn't an interview, this is a paid fluff piece. This is marketing, and you're falling for it.

Honestly this is true. One of the MS engineers revieled in a blog post that all it was is a 1 hour free trial.

It´s absolutely fascinating that there are people out there believing that:
Despite Microsft wanting to control you through their diabolical DRM (one time check in per day, no used game sales, no lending/rentals, region locking etc.....basically everything we take for granted)....they would have given you and up to 10 people the chance to play a single legally bought game.
laughable !

Leting us share games with our friends so we can all play together.  Those monsters!

What next, are they going to give us a free game, like Forza or Fifi in every preorder?  What if they force us to have fun, when all we really want to do is complain.

It reminds of that scene in Life of Brian where the guy complains that Jesus healed him from being a leper, because that put him out of a job of being a beggar.
