    sharing games with other accounts


    i think there should be a way to share games without using the home xbox setting. esp for those that live in blind spots, (Few in my area) i hotspot my xbox as its the only internet i have. (Which they need to allow) i think something more needs to be done.

    esp if you have 3 kids (dont have kids just yet) And 4 xbox. and if i miss read sadly which i do alot. the home xbox setting only allows two consoles to allow share games. so what do you do if they all want to play a game, but not the same game. they cant.

    which comes to my point. this is just seems to be greed to me. basically you still need to buy the game at least 4 times. but my idea helps out.

    idea

    the idea is that everytime someone that has been allowed to play one of the games from main account should prompt a message either via email or xbox. with the message.

    this person wants to play this game (Game title)

    Press A to allow

    Press B to deny

    this way it helps everyone out.

    or even allow it to be played if the owner of the games is signed in without the home xbox setting.

    :)

    The home xbox setting already gets abused enough as it is with people using it to share games in ways that are against the rules and never intended for.

    If people were able to share games regardless of what xbox was the home xbox it would only open it up to further abuse so i cant see this ever happening.

    yeah, i know me and my sister has an account on both xbox and steam, but she doesnt get kick out of the game she plays on steam but does on xbox. which makes her angry that she cant play a game if im playing a different game to her, on steam my sister can play games thats one my account but she can play on her account as long its downloaded on her machine. on xbox its not like that

    Even with steam family sharing you wouldn't be able to both play a game off your account at the same time. Only one of you would be able to play at a time based on how the following is worded:

    When I authorize a device to lend my library to others, do I limit my own ability to access and play my games?As the account holder, you may always access and play your games at any time. If you decide to start playing when another user is already playing one of your games, he/she will be given a few minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing.

    Per https://store.steampowered.com/promotion/familysharing

    So youd still basically be in the same situation even with steam family sharing.

    If someone else on steam was playing a game off your account and then you tried to start playing another game off your account it would essentially kick the other person off.
