    My wife bought me a game, but under her account on accident


    Earlier this year my wife thought she would surprise me by pre ordering the Digital Deluxe Edition of Destiny 2. We waited months for it to come out. When the servers opened for pre order members I jumped on the first day. It never worked for me. I tried
    every day and couldn't figure it out. Until one day, while watching my wife play, I noticed some of the dde edition items in her mailbox and inventory. At that moment I put two and two together and asked her if she bought the game under her account. She said
    yes and didn't understand why it would make a difference, but I explained it to her.

    Now, the problem has arisen again. I figured that it would just be the bonus content my account wouldn't get to share the spoils of, but I found out I also have no access to the dlc. That part, I don't understand. The really messed up part is that her account
    only has gold through my account. My account is the main account on the xbox, and all other games and dlc that I have are shared to everyone on the Xbox. But not this one. Because of one small mistake, only my wife's account has access to anything past the
    core version of destiny 2. Is there anything we can do about this?

    :)

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited

    Having a similar issue here. Shared game, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Imperial Edition - Preorder, between two accounts, mine and my wife's. The basic game itself works fine, but the add-on bundles only work under her account, and not
    mine. The bundles are installed under my account, but the in-game options (extra class, mount, etc) don't show up for me. Please help.

    Just bought Metro (lesson learned.....)

    Are you sure you guys didnt practice before the wife got home? Maybe something about her saying NO MORE GAMES.. but if the kid did it by "accident" there was no way to reverse it :)
