Whats that?LOL at Kotaku comparing this to Steam. No way we see anything like Steam sales on XBone.

You work for Microsoft?
So if I go to a friend's house I need to wait several hours to download a 5-15 GB game instead of just bringing my game with me? Is this correct?
What happens in 6-8 years later when the Xbox One's servers (activation servers and DRM servers) aren't online anymore? I can still play all my 10 or 20 year old games fine. Will all of my games I (potentially) buy for Xbox One just stop working? Am I going to be able to even buy more Xbox One games beyond that point due to the dumb used game restrictions and lack of activation servers?
This is a major issue that isn't even being addressed.
Microsoft said: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.
Man, this is bad. The sad thing is that eventually I will end up buying it to play Halo 5 and other exclusives.
Billing address on credit card tied to the account. Super simple way to do it.
Don't have the same billing address? Don't have a credit card attached? You're SOL.
You have to look for the most locked down answer and you'll find the truth.
How the fuck is this going to be explained to your average consumer at point of sale?
It is late afternoon and deep in a dense forest a father and son are out hunting deer. The pair have been out for a couple of hours now but have been unlucky thus far until they hear an almighty bang from the distance. It came from way beyond the forest and even beyond their hometown. The teary eyed boy looks shocked by the loudness of the sound and clings to his father looking up at him.
"What was that awful noise father?", the boy asks trembling. "It sounded so close but that's not possible.".
"It came from far off son.", his father explained.
"What was is it though?".
"Microsoft finally shot themselves in the foot and made sure everyone heard about it".
I love how the people who kept damage controlling during the Orth incident and May 21st are right here continuing to spin even after everything is confirmed to be as bad as it seemed.
You are either horribly deluded fanboys or you people really are corporate shills. Like a malignant tumor on this board.
am i the only one who think this really isnt that bad, i thought we would have to share to same profile if you are in a family or have two seperate account to play the same game.
Just to be specific, combining what we have on that page regarding the family thing:
1. You can indicate up to 10 accounts to be family members and thus access your library on your Xbone and any other Xbone.
2. If you or said family member access the account on a Xbone that is not your main one, it will check every 1 hour if you are online or not instead of 24 hours.
3. Family members can't play the same game at the same time when using multiple Xbones.
So, yes, you could share with a buddy, but he would have online checks every 1 hour on his console and you two can't play the same game at the same time.
Who the hell is this Crossley guy? A troll?
They already confirmed you don't need an internet connection and way more indie friendly. All I need to know.
This is still bad no matter how they word it. Whoever said Gaf is a hivemind was totally wrong.
hell, a week ago Gaf was a hivemind. everyone was against MS DRM policies, flash forward to today we get the same information and everyone's okay with this.......... what?
Sounds fucking awful. Day never.

Sony do NOT F*** this up!
do NOT!
DO NOT!!!!
Who the hell is this Crossley guy? A troll?
Because it isnt as bad as gaf was making it out to be. Sony is probably going to take a similar route regarding DRM and the Xbone can still share games. It could have been much much worse.
Why should it matter to you who supports it? Aren't people allowed to make their own decisions? This is largely the problem with some on here. There is such a lack of being comfortable in your own skin. It isn't enough for you to say fuck Microsoft and you're not buying a shitty Xbox One, because you don't like their policies or strategy. You also have to display animosity towards people who don't agree with you.
How childish is that?
Pirates happened. The only reason DRM exists.
I'm the opposite, I'm always connected, but I do sell and trade games, and buy used quite often.
The key term there was "like Steam sales."
He is suggesting Microsoft made it less shitty than it was going to be because of gamers' reactions.
I was playing Gears with Lunchbox last night. He's convinced I will buy a Xbone when the new Gears is inevitably announced.
Yeah....nah son. Ain't happening. Not in this fucking universe. Never.
