  1. Is Xbox One Home Sharing now obsolete for The Elder Scrolls Online???


    Xbox One staff,

    an an article popped up today which suggests that Zenimax Online is applying another DRM to their game so that game sharing, disc trading and renting is not allowed

    is this accurate information is is the staff post in this forum incorrect?

    "via Zenimax admin GaryA, is this:

    Hey there folks,

    To clarify, you will need a unique game registration code in order to play the game, and used copies will not be eligible to receive a key if the code has already been redeemed. It works the same way as the PC version in that the code included
    in the box is to activate your ESOTU account and the discs are for installation purposes. If you own the disc but don't have a key, you'll be able to install the game and reach the login screen, but you won't be able to log in and access the game without an
    active ESOTU account."


    :)

    You asked for people's input. Pretty rude to say someone is not very bright for sharing an opinion.

    Honestly, it sounds like you are trying to make a non-Elder Scrolls game but put it into the Elder Scrolls setting.

  3. are we gonna even get a single player elder scrolls on the xbox one?

    i love elder scrolls. i know they are releasing an MMO elder scrolls with a $15 a month subscription fee. i have no interest in a $15 a month MMO. i love the single player elder scrolls. as huge as skyrim is, i was looking forward to one huge super massive
    world in an xbox one elder scrolls game. but the one they are making is an MMO. i hope they do make a single player elder scroll games for xbox one.

  4. Is Xbox One Home Sharing now obsolete for The Elder Scrolls Online???

    I specifically ask as an Ambassador so that we are prepared and in hopes that if this is true....this is updated as it contradicts:

    support.xbox.com/.../my-home-xbox

    The first time you sign in on an Xbox One and save your password, that console becomes your home Xbox.
    Your home Xbox allows you to do the following:

    Share games and downloadable content purchased
    from the digital store with anyone else who signs in on your console
    .
    You can even share games downloaded as part of a subscription.

    Share your Xbox Gold subscription with anyone else who signs in on your console.

    You can also play downloaded games while traveling, or, in the event of a network or service outage, on your home Xbox. You’ll need to ensure that your console is set as your home Xbox before you go offline. See What you can do when your Xbox One console
    is offline to learn more.

    If you have more than one Xbox One console, or if you sign in on multiple consoles, we recommend you designate the most frequently used console as your home Xbox.

    Hello TiNyPiNkPaNda,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in knowing if Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr is able to be shared from one account to another. There are some developers that allow content to be shared through

    the home console feature
    . Halo 5 is a great example of a game that allows you to share new content. Since this is a decision that is made by the developer, we suggest reaching out to the

    Elder Scrolls Online support team
    for the answer. We hope this helps!

    Why can a different account on my XBox not enjoy the content I purchased?

    It is a shared console.

    My Profile is the only one which has the Home XBox set.

    The game in question is "The Elder Scrolls Online Deluxe Collection: Necrom".

    There were no codes to redeem as it was an all-in-one digital download bundle.

    Please advise as to what content, within this purchase, is not shareable.

    Thank you in advance.
