    Buying a game on one console (Xbox) and then having to pay full price to download it on ...


    So awhile ago, I bought Sea of Thieves for my Xbox one. Later I decided since for most instances I would rather play on my PC, then when I was signed in to my account on the Microsoft store, it shows I have to pay full price for the game. Do I really have
    to pay full price for the game I already own? If this helps, I own a disc copy rather than a digital copy.

    :)

    Let's clear up this whole "your friends have to pay a fee if you let them borrow their game" concept.

    You will pay full price for each additional user.Otherwise one person could buy a 60 dollar game and his 15 buddies could have the same full retail game by paying only 10 dollars?

    Microsoft's next generation xbox won't allow use of used games!

    I have to agree. If I have to pay full price on a used game then no I will not buy the xbox one, if my friend has to pay full price for the game I let them borrow, then I will not buy an Xbox one. If I have to connect to the Internet to play offline, then
    I will not purchase an Xbox one. If I cannot turn off the camera on the kinect then I will not buy an Xbox one. If Xbox live service becomes more expensive, I will not buy an Xbox one, basically if you turn home consoles into arcade machines, I'm saving my
    quarter and buying a deck of cards.

    Why are all ON DEMAND games old releases?

    developers would benefit from download sales too as it would destroy the second hand market and everyone would have to pay full price for all games.

    i hope this never happens as it is very rare i buy a new full price game and im sure a lot of people are in the same situation.
