You know what's funny. Now that it's confirmed that damn near everyone reads GAF including the higher ups, CBOAT still has the balls to dish out the dirt. God bless u sir.
There are some people who think Microsoft should just give out shit for free. Why people are disappointed about this is beyond me.
Now he isn't. "check it out" = test it. "kinda like a library" = renting a game for a certain time period.
You don't see any issue at all with giving misleading interviews saying you can share your games without limits with 'family members' when it turns out to be a 60 minute trial period?There are some people who think Microsoft should just give out shit for free.

There's no way this is true. Otherwise, they wouldn't have limited it to one user accessing the shared library at a time.
Hell, they wouldn't limit it to 10 family members. What would be the point? If they're just demos, let your entire friends list access it.
You guys are freaking out about something that isn't true. Anyone with a shred of logical thinking should see this.
So now that they canceled it will they ever fully explain how it would have worked?
Lesson learned then? Companies lie all the time.
so basically, it's the PS+ 1 hr demo, except you need a friend to own the game first?
I think CBoaT and Gies were both right. It was planned as a 60 minute trial but after the blown reveal/E3 they realized they needed to make it more robust or Sony was going to eat their lunch. They tried - they reached out to publishers and did make some preliminary deals. But the vast majority of them said no and Microsoft was forced to reverse its policies.
This also explains why Major Nelson promised an explanation and never delivered it - they were trying to change it on the fly.
This is some kind of "dodged a megaton" news. Bet Microsoft is glad they sorta sidestepped that disaster and has now only potentially stepped into some dog poo.
It was too good to be true.
No wonder why Microsoft was trying to muzzle Phil Harrison. This was exactly what he was saying early on about paying full price again.

Yeah, this sounds about right. With as hostile and limiting as every other policy regarding the system was before yesterday, I don't see how anyone could've thought they were also just going to let up to 10 people have access to every game sold.
Yeah I don't remember ever being too excited about it. Even with the initial news, only letting 2 people play at once was a big restriction. Of course I had no idea that this would be the real catch.I knew it wouldn't be as good as people thought. Gad I was never hyped about this feature.
Lol ; )I don't understand why everyone is bitching and moaning over this. Isn't this how it works in all families?
Like when I asked my mom to borrow her car. She told me I could use it for 45 minutes. When my time was up, she told me to go to the car dealership if I wanted to keep driving.
You people love to whine.

But you didn't need to subscribe to their online service for it... maybe.
Which journalist said there was more madness to come? Was it Tolito?

So about that DRM back peddling, in case it wasn't obvious to everyone before, I think we can safely assume they have no intention of honoring their word/claims for any amount of time (if at all).
