A user from Reddit emailed Don Mattrick and got a reply from his chief of staff:




If this is the real deal I think I'll buy digital games if that's some of the features.

If this is the real deal does this mean that family sharing is still in for digital bought games? I think I'll buy digital games if that's some of the features.

Sounds like you would have to use your login details to access your content

so to share with a friend - they would have to log in as you

there is no family sharing

well i certainly dont get that impression from that shit that the microsoft idiot tried to pass off as benefits

the above is no different to you taking your games to a mates house - actually its worse ! - because you cant leave behind the disc, you have to leave behind your login details if your mate wants to keep playing your game without you.

HOW IS THAT A BENEFITS LIST !?!?!

Their PR is appalling

Doesn't mention the family sharing like we would of saw on the previous polices but it does seem you can sign in on any xbox one and use the cloud to stream your games. The main focus there is the repetitive use of the word "your".

You can still leave your discs with your friends but if you don't want to cart around a bunch of discs you can take your digital library with you. It will be a positive for some but nothing there is a negative.

You'd want to hope you could stream them, because if you want to access a title from your digital library on a different console then you're going to have to redownload it. With games starting to push upwards of 15-20gb you're at least going to spend a few hours waiting for it to finish. It's at this point where it's easier just to chuck your home console in your car and take it with you.

I have an xbox at home and one at the gf's place. I like the idea of not having to take my hard copies of the game to her's and if im in the mood to just turn on her's and jump right into my games again.

I've been in a relationship for a while. I can't speak for everyone but I don't think we're all having sex 24/7. I'm sure there can always be some time for some headshots ;)
