Have family buy digital..

If they do a license check???? it clearly states on HOme xbox you do not have to be signed in for anyone in your FAMILY to enjoy the benefits of GOLD...... On the second xboxone you are signed into live and entitled to use your licenced digital copy....how
is this a violation of their EULA?

 

@RocNrolla

Read a EULA and then come back and explain how playing a game simultaneously isn't a violation. They are very clear and no law degree needed, it's for a single end user.

Common sense should apply......Publishers who have just now removed "online passes" in an attempt to combat the used game market are now running a buy one get one free deal on all their games? Yeah right.

I've been doing it since launch

 

Same here also been doing this since day 1

 

At home with Xbox One

As an Xbox Live Gold member, you can share the benefits of Xbox Live Gold with others while they’re using your Xbox One console in your home. Friends and family can simply create their own account and gamertag on the console, which gives them the ability
to enjoy Xbox Live online multiplayer gaming and access to entertainment apps.

Friends or family members with their own gamertags coming over to play? No problem. They can log in and play online multiplayer games, even if you sign off.

At a friend’s house with Xbox One

When you go to a friend’s house, you’ll be able to play multiplayer games on their Xbox One console, even if your friend is not a Gold subscriber. Once you log in with your Xbox Live Gold account, everyone using that console can access multiplayer games
and entertainment apps for as long as you’re logged in

 

the last post was a copy and paste straight from xbox.com

so if im at a friends house playing my digital copy of COD....before I start playing I have to call home and tell my kids to stop playing my Digital copy of COD at home because it violates EULA??????????

 

@RocNrolla

That's up to you.

As I said we just went through this here and it spread to two other gaming forums. Numerous people contacted MS for clarification and didn't receive a reply. We couldn't find a single publisher that allowed it.

The link you posted is the same one that everyone else was posting justifying simultaneous play and it says nothing about the subject specifically. Yes you can do it but it's a loophole that's being abused, if you understand that and are good with it then
enjoy.

 

They don't mention "simultaneous play" specifically because would become a legal nightmare once they take it away. Word will spread about this "feature", which in turn will further push their agenda for ALL digital; I can see the "spin" once they announce
this going away in the future,"Do to the high number of people abusing the "Family Gold"...we have FIXED this oversight. As a result EACH member of Live will need Gold to access features on the X Box One system.".

I'm such a ray of sunshine! Lmao.

Peace, J.R.

 

Not sure if ppl still want an update, but I said i would so here it is,

someone posted this link:

winsupersite.com/.../xbox-one-game-sharing

This certainly works, I have TF downloaded, paid once and is happily playing at the same time on two different consoles with two different gamertags, in the same house.

I am a happy bunny.

 

I've been doing this with all digital downloads since the launch of XBOX360!

 

the 360 isn't the same thats a licence transfer the xbox one is very different and much easier and legit.

 

Thank you for posting back EnenDaveyBoy, sorry I couldn't get a reply to YOU sooner, but, work has been taking over :-( but all good I guess, I think this is a great thing for families.

 

no sure how it would work with 3+ though.

 

@D33dles

Maybe Microsoft could detect that 2 Xboxones are using the same IP address (ie in the same household connected to one service provider ISP) and people not abusing the system could still benefit from this.

Not sure if I made myself clear????
