You don't have to check in online every 24 hours or be unable to play games.

Some games you can buy on steam don't even need you to ever launch steam.

Can you stop saying Xbone is just like steam? Because it isn't.

Try using steam. Unlike an Xbone and a years subscription to Live it will cost you nothing.

To me it seems like the 24 hour online check is a product of your ability to transfer and trade in games, something you can't do in Steam.

Not sure the trade off was worth it though.

The check in and the used game/ sharing are different issues. Steam has a better system for playing offline, but Xbox one allows more people to use your content and still allows some form of trading in. Also letting us transfer our digital content once is better than anything other than GreenManGaming, and most games there can't be traded anyway.

Seriously!

IT helps it when you actually use a product.

Plus you can bet your bottom dollar that the Xbone won't have any great sales/deals like STEAM does.
