    My Feedback To Todays Announcement

    What is the point of sharing if you can't play together at the same time?

    Do you understand how family sharing was suppsose to work?

    Do you really believe Microsoft would let you buy 1 game and play it with 2 or 3 friends at the same time?

    ONLY 1 PERSON CAN PLAY AT A TIME

    Are you going to wait 2 weeks for cousin Joe to finish HALO 5 so he can share it with you? With sharing you can't play at the same time. You still need 2 copies of the game to play together.

    The transition to digital is happing, though it shouldn't be forced upon consumers. You can still buy all your games digitally on DAY 1!

    You can't share the account with the friend, but if you were to buy the game on your account and then set his console as your Home console he would have access to that game as well as any other games on your account.

    You would not be able to play on two PC's, no. You would only be able to Home share across two consoles.
