  1. Do you really need account authorization to play a game?


    So when I got this Xbox one for Christmas me and I brother had to install games and we had both owned GTA 5 but he downloaded it first so now it says the he is the buyer of the game, and before you say why doesn't he put gameshare, well that is because he
    doesn't want to, so know I can't even play a game I own and spent hours on, that I can't play anymore its outrageous, you also might say why not log onto his account then use yours to play, well he has a pretty difficult passcode, so there is that so how about
    Microsoft can just make all the user's on the Xbox, their games are able to be played freely without any messages that say that this person has no authorization of the game, so this was my rant and I would like to see an update for everyone's Xboxes soon.

    :)

    Your parental account will need to sign in on the Xbox One console then head over to Settings in order to give you the proper authorizations to purchase and play.

    Credit card not accepted

    Do you have at least 1 dollar in the account? You have to have a dollar for authorization.

    Transfer content to a different account

    Him playing on the console is not a transfer of the license. The system gives authorization to the buying account and the console bought on.

    You do not need to worry about him not being able to play unless you change consoles. If you do, just do a license transfer with your profile on the new console, then redownload and you'll be good to go.

    You don't need authorization do things in games. As long as it's not prohibited by ToU, CoC or the rules developers set for the game, you're free to do anything you want.[/quote]

    You're joking right...???

    So, how do you determine an Unauthorized Method of Boosting to an Authorized Method of boosting then or even segregate the two...????

    Prohibitation, requires Authorization too...

    Why not the BEST of both worlds?

    [quote user="HairyLoveSpuds"]
    @ - The closed Digital System of Microsoft and Sony is not better than Steam, as there is no competition. Competition generally tends to means better price wars. Price wars means better choice for us consumers. When you only have 1 source for your
    console digital sales, and that is the console maker themselves. You have a monopoly, and they can charge what they want.

    [/quote] I wasn't talking about prices. Prices on PC games vs console games are irrelevant. PC is an open platform. Console is closed and the Console manufacturer gets a cut. How Steam charges for a game doesn't affect the model Microsoft was planning to use.
    Microsoft could charge equal to the physical copy of the game. It doesn't matter whether you bought a physical or digital copy, they were offering a system that although stricter than Steam, allowed you to do things Steam doesn't do, which is the resale of
    a purchased game that is tied to an account. That's the point I was getting at. In the end, Microsoft's system was to tie games to an account. Like practically every PC game these days. Sign in with your account and you can play it. The game can be installed
    anywhere, but cannot be played without an authorized account. Microsoft wanted to do that. Their only problem that really got to gamers was the 24 hour check-in restriction. For many games, you only need the authorized key, or just to sign in online the first
    time with an authorized account. Microsoft would have received less flak had they taken a less drastic resign in frequency to make sure the account is authorized. I can understand where this becomes a nuisance. Deployed forces oversees, people with shotty
    internet, or those living out in bum**** nowhere. I never saw it as an issue since I always play games connected to the internet. And if I'm not connected to the internet, well I'm doing something else and don't have time to game because that means I'm not
    on campus, my apartment, or home. And I'd argue the vast majority is the same way.
