That is not what Family share was. With Family Share you could designate 10 people as family members and all of them could have access to your digital library. You always had access with your Xbox Live Id and they had access even if you weren't logged into their machine.


I can guarantee you that it would have never worked like that.

Before the 180

Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games.  You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.

They might be bringing it back also and they pretty much confirmed it doesn't have to be family members, you can choose who is your family members so thx is right

That's a lot of bullshit if I ever read bullshit in my life, lmao. Of course they can say they were about to offer you the WORLD after they no longer will. Why can't they do it now, I wonder? huh?

right now im sharing my ps4 library with my father, i made my account the main on his system and his the main on mine. now he can play all my games and so can i at the same time. only thing thats slightly annoying is when im on my system playing i get a little message every hour or so saying the game was verified this only happens on games i bought on my psn, and thats cause sony thinks his ps4 is my main. he gets the same message on stuff he bought but not on the stuff i bought . hard to explain till you see it in action. not sure how this works with DLC though, like map packs.


Why not just make your own ps4 the main system and share it from there?


if you do that the secondary ps4 has to be logged onto your psn, meaning my father to play my games has to log on my psn account.  you can only have 1 system where ANYone can play your games, but you can play your games on anysytem your logged into.

QUICK someone make a video tutorial on how to use this feature for dummies (like myself) lol

I skipped most of the posts in this thread, but what you described is basically how digital games work on Xbox 360. As long as I'm logged into live, I can play my games on anyone's console. I even played multi-player with my daughter on one Xbox (the one that is officially linked to the content) while I played on the other Xbox in our house.

No idea how the family plan worked but I think it's different from what you think it is.

I never said the policies were the same, the way yhe digital management functions however is the same. you simply get checked if youre authorized. it works almost the same but yes, if u want to be technical about it its not the exact same thing.

of course

 

it is obviously everyone else's misintrpretation
