    About maintaining a digital library loophole found


    So this is prompted by me having issues with someone trying to get into my email I have my xbox account on since march. Every time I go under my sign in activity I see at least once a day, sometimes several times a day, someone masking their IP address
    has been trying to either sign in or sync my account. I keep thinking someone at Microsoft will see this unusual activity and do something about it on my behalf. Or at least help me contact someone who can help.

    Meanwhile tonight, trying to combat this person I noticed I could change my email alias to my Microsoft account. So I go and make a new alias, thinking that if the alias is different then the one they've been trying to sign in through, they'll stop not knowing
    what it is now. though haven't removed the old one in case of losing something.

    Worried about my Xbox account still being there or not, that's where another problem was found, thus the subject of this forum.

    I did some quick looking and found someone on here who acted faster than I, removing their old alias and lost all their digital purchases.

    In short:

    Anything you buy digitally on the Xbox one is tied to the
    email you made the purchase with
    . Not the Microsoft account

    Meaning, even if your using the same Xbox profile, or even
    the same
    Microsoft account, if the email is not the exact same, if you changed your email address cause say, your account was hacked, or you had to change your email alias, or you removed an alias a purchase was made on, those purchases are
    unusable
    Requiring you to buy them again.

    For something you already bought on the exact same account no less.

    Shouldn't anything I buy through an account be recorded on said account rather than an email alias I can remove?

    If my problem with this mystery person continues and possibly escalates and I need to do something like change my account alias again, this time removing any past ones,
    how can I go about keeping my digital game library together for what I already bought?

    I've tried looking for something like this under customer support, but as far as xbox goes, everything under help is simple stuff like changing gamer-tags. If anyone can help, that would be super appreciated.

    :)

    Xbox 1 x all digital

    Hi Sierra#1975,

    If only it was that simple to be able to use a code to have a digital version of physical games purchased, but no doubt people would find loopholes and take advantage of it.

    The digital Xbox One is really intended for users with large digital libraries/people interested in GamePass and if you have physical games, then the Xbox One S would have been a better and more suitable purchase.

    Sorry but at this time you would either have to buy digital versions of physical games again or hope they are available on GamePass.

    Umm... should be in Games to Install in your Games Library.

    If it's not found, then this friend probably owns it on a different region than yours or is probably not Digital?

    I did prove it was a loophole. I posted EA's EULA, emailed them and asked if a single digital game purchase could be played simultaneously to which the answer was no. I have people telling me to drop it because they know it's a loophole and it's actually
    people like you are responsible for it not getting dropped. You're telling us it's not a loophole.

    What have you done to prove it's an intended feature?

    Everything written in a programming language is hackable given enough time and/or expertise. It's up to the developers to close any loopholes that are found. MS can't do anything to close the loopholes unless they've got WaW's code in front of them. All
    they can do is swing the banhammer.

    @Randver - it depends how you ask the question of EA. "Can I play a game a single digital game simultaneously?" will always get a "no" defacto answer. All you're doing is asking a closed question to someone who isn't necessarily an expert or willing to
    investigate beyond their knowledge.

    Explain the "loophole" to them and see if you get a "we know - we are looking to close the loophole" response.
