-You can give a game to a friend only if they have been on your friends list for 30 days, and then it is stuck with them.
In all likelihood yes.
Fucking horrific. For the sake of consumer rights I hope this console flops.
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.
Looking at his history: yes, he did.Did you get paid to write that?
That one is not joking, shill as well.I can't even tell anymore. Guys?
Many of them aren't "people" as such.why are so many people happy about this? wtf is going on
It gets better when you start looking at the posting history of these accounts.It's cringeworthy reading through these threads and then seeing someone being A-okay with it also rocking a "Only an Xbox" label. Jesus.
I imagine Sony will take the same route too.
Just gonna leave this here.
It's not possible for Sony to have a similar licensing infrastructure, because the console does not need to access the internet.
This post needs repeating because it's probably a very good guess.
"Family members" means "Same IP Address"
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 friends 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.
Meanwhile, over in the "STEAM announcements" thread, we're laughing and throwing trading cards and free games at each other like it's a beautiful birthday party.
Progress saving, maybe, but maybe not achievements.
If you really can share games with 10 people this system will sell itself in America once that news comes out.
this is not a defense of microsoft but rather a criticism of a ridiculous argument
if your internet is regularly out for 24+ hour increments, then you have far larger problems than not being able to play your xbox in this hyper-connected day and age
a broadband connection is practically mandatory in the 21st century.
I don't get this, the sheer lack of logic some people are displaying here.
why are so many people happy about this? wtf is going on
if Sony go down this road then they can shove the PS4 up their arse sideways for all I care. I'm not going to support either.
i've got this weird feeling in my butt, i think somebody is trying to fuck me
i dont like it, help me gaf
Sarcasm detector broken?
Fuck both of these companies if they think passing the blame on publishers will make me accept bullshit DRM. Every publisher will choose to block used games, because why not.
I won't buy either console and hope a crash happens.
They also can't afford to. Japan is a huge market for both Nintendo and Sony so second hand games are seriously influential to both of them. Unless Sony wants their console to die in their home region and lose out on 10-20 million sales, then by all means secede Japan to Nintendo.
Why the hell do people think this is like Steam?

You find accounts with 40 posts that are only active to either defend Microsoft or shit on the products of one of its competitors, over years. You find people that implied XB1 hardware secret sauce right up to the reveal. Then you can start identifying the various diversionary tactics that have been designed to deflect from or counter genuine issues, and how they evolve over time. It's a dark place, and discovering it has made me a more angry poster.
Can't believe it is all coming true.

I'm the opposite, I'm always connected, but I do sell and trade games, and buy used quite often.
I'm hoping you can rent games through Xbox Live.
seriously.
I mean, what is that? you're that invested in a company you want everyone else to validate their shit decision so you can feel better about yourself?
fuck. you.

Its not a logical step, they are two very very different companies. What one does is not necessarily what another might do. oh and am very calm, i might still buy the console but its probably 3 years down the line.
Yes, I'm worried about small independent stores that sell used games. I buy many of my games used from a local game store that has 3 stores/chains in the city. They are great because they are constantly adjusting the prices of their used (and new) games, unlike Gamestop. (They seem to put a used price on a game and leave it like that for a year). I would hate to see the XBox One hurt their business.
Because it has been the norm for the past 8 or more years that Steam has been online. As I said before, the "cheapness" of Steam doesn't really come into effect outside of America. So really its just Steam but in a box.I'm starting to see a trend here. Most of the people that have said "this doesn't sound so bad" have a only on xbox avatar or is a junior. How the fuck can this be supported? When I read "publishers can enable you to sell your games" my eyes almost rolled to the back of my head. It would suck buying a game you don't enjoy at all and have to deal with it.
Look Microsoft, just let do whatever the fuck I want with my games after I paid for it, is mine, of my own,
Uhm, no. If Sony do the same, I'll crucify them too. Fuck them both if Sony go ahead with this shit.
