    what does "You can use this app for now or buy it to own forever" mean? I already ...


    Hi! So, I bought the digital version of Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY Edition & I noticed that when looking at the DLC (in the digital store) even though it says "This product is installed", right beneath that it says "You can use this app for now or buy it
    to own forever" & there is also an option to "Buy a copy" & I'm curious as to what these mean? Do they imean that I only have access to the content for some limited time (perhaps only as long as I am a gold member?) Or is there another meaning?

    I also notice this when I look at the DLC for Fallout 4 (in the digital store). I have a physical copy of Fallout 4, I bought the season pass & all the dlc is installed but when I went to see if there was a new dlc released I noticed that now right below
    where it says "This product is installed" is the sentence "You can use this app for now or buy it to own forever" & again, just like with DA I GOTY there is also an option to "Buy a copy"

    what gives?

    :)

    "Do you own this game or app?"

    I have a son, who I'm trying to restrict his game play to only certain games. We download all of our games online, and he has his own xbox screen name.

    I set the content restrictions on his account, so when he tries to play something not authorized, it asks me for my pin. This works perfectly.

    However, anytime he wants to play a game, we get the "Do you own this game or app? If you bought it online, sign into xbox live". The game will work, if I sign my account in, however I don't want to do that as now he has full access to all of the games
    by just switching the profile.

    What are my options here? I want my son to be able to play games that I've downloaded, but not have my account logged in. Is there a way to link his xbox screen name to my xbox live account, so he can play games without my account being logged in?

    Hey I0NZEU5 -

    Do you currently have an EA Access subscription? Or did you at any time in the past? If so, you may want to uninstall your Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC and reinstall it to see if that helps resolve the issue.

    As far as your Fallout 4 Season Pass, could you please Private Message me a screenshot of your purchase confirmation for the pass so we can look into things further? You can check your Microsoft Commerce page
    then use OneDrive or any other popular image hosting website to host your image.

    To private message me, click the tiny envelope below my post.

    Thanks! what does "You can use this app for now or buy it to own forever" mean? I already ... :)

    My Doom DLC Unto The Evil and my Batman DLC and the others I mentioned state the same (you can use this app for now or buy it to own forever) with the option to buy. It's been like this since the update,

    Evil I think its because the update caused some DRM issues. A year or 2 ago I had 3 xbox 360 games that I had bought digitally & then after an update I was unable to play them UNLESS my 360 is connected to Live. No Live, no games. M$ never fixed the problem.
    This is why I should've learned my lesson with digital purchases.

    It's terrible, it really is, the problem is, mine won't allow me to play even when I'm connected to live. I paid hundreds of pounds for content I cannot play. I expect you have too.

    I just did the power cycle as requested in the other thread, and nothing has improved, in fact, I can now add another digital title to the list.

    Buying a ps4 won't help. I have one and have the exact same problems with that. It's just welcome to the modern age, where nothing ever works properly 100 percent of the time.

    I have experienced the same problem with a couple of games I got digital games, mostly Batman Arkham knight, dark souls 3, and Witcher 3, but not others. What gives?

  12. I've been seeing this on some of my games as eel recently. I assume it's yet another update hiccup, much like how when you are looking through the game store now on Xbox One it stops scrolling and you don't get to look at all of the games available...I thought
    when I upgraded to the S I simply wouldn't install the preview program again to avoid these foolish issues, but I guess the problem is with the design team.

    I had to delete & redownload almost all my digital content & that seems to have solved my problem for about 95% of my stuff but thats not good enough. It tooks days to redownload everything. DRM will kill gaming. Ive also spoken to my ps4 friends who have
    had no issues with this so Im guessing ill either move to ps4 or just quit buying digital content.
