    Family Sharing down?


    We have two consoles in our house and have been using family sharing. Today, it won't let me access one of our games (GTA V), on the console which is not my home console. Is this feature down currently? It keeps saying I have to be connected to the internet,
    and I have verified that I am. I can access other content on marketplace, etc.

    :)

  2. What exactly was Family Sharing

    "Family Sharing as it is" is unfortunately none existent, Family Sharing is a different service to what use to be the Family Gold plan and both are none existent at this stage, i do like that the 1 Gold plan covers an XB1 in its entirety for every profile
    on that console,

    me personally i would prefer the Family Sharing plan over the old Family Gold plan if it ever come down to choosing one or the other.

    Family Sharing was to share digital games among 10 people,

    THIS IS ***

    I'm glad they got rid of the DRM BS....If I had to give up family sharing, so be it. What if later down the road they decide to switch it to only 3 people sharing instead of 10? Forget that, DOWN WITH DRM!!!!

    Why are you in support of more restrictions?

    [quote user="IceStorm III"]

    [quote user=""]That will likely be a violation of the end user license agreement, and grounds for your account to be disabled.[/quote]Doubtful. I have "family" spread across several states and timezones in the USA alone. I also have "family"
    in the UK. All of this "family" have different surnames. How's MS going to know if my family is related or not? My word?



    I think "family" is just spin. It's probably going to be just a small list of people you can share your game library with.

    LOL. All this online check in and drm and you believe they will just look the other way. They will put rules in place for family share. You think what you want, but don't be surprised when Microsoft cracks down on people abusing the share with family functionality.
    I am guessing all Xbox's will have to be in the same home, all sharing the same IP. 24 hour check ins remember.
