"The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold," said Xbox division president Don Mattrick. "Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray."
Read my posts nobody pays me I'm neutral but there are too many threads full of whiney fanboys here or people that are PC hardcore's and just trolling.
I could give a shit less but they obviously listened to the masses.
I know who the fucking fanboys on here are and I am not one. So don't even try to lump me into that shit.

People are also still missing the fact it still requires you to activate your console online when you get it. That's still DRM.
Oh yeah, still require Kinect too. Oh yeah, still $100 more expensive.
If they did that , there would be a mass sell off of used Xbox One's. I seriously , SERIOUSLY doubt that they want the clusterfuck of bad PR that they got with this policy in place .. all over again.
If anything they will be doing damage control to repair their image with the consumers they lost over this shit storm.
This is probably the best news of the last 3 months with this crap.
Now I'll buy an Xbox One , day one.
Seiously. Get. A. Life.
I thought you were a "Xbox ambassador"? Or were you just saying that as a joke?
You seem very angry for someone who "could give a shit less" (if that means what I think it does). Though, I'm pretty sure as an Xbox ambassador you aren't supposed to be all angry at people or spread misinformation.
Go on, list all the fan boys who get irate when people don't like their favorite little system? Ill start you off if you like.

I was really looking forward to the digital sharing. Couldn't have cared less about the used game stuff
fixed.
Family sharing, game library, and games follow your live account are now all gone. You must have the disc.
I still don't see why they can't do that stuff. They could still have you "register" the game to your account, but remove it when you want to sell it. Microsoft is just being a bunch of ass holes because they can.
Yeah, pretty much. I don't see what would be difficult in keeping that feature AND removing the 24-hour check-in plus offline play for disc-based games at the same time. I'm sure it's not much of a programming change in the code either.
Have the game registered to your account, allow it to be shared digitally up to 10 people you know on your "family list". There, done. That doesn't seem so hard to do.
It wouldn't be as bad though. People know Live is a shit service but their friends already had CoD 37 so they kept up with it. Consoles rely on peoples brand loyalty and peoples brand loyalty is based on how much you have invested in that system. This way they can get a bunch of people and slowly latch onto them, then be good for another generation. If they go in all "we going to be screwing you" then they wont have that base seed.
But this isn't good news, they haven't done anything good with this; they've just done one less something terrible. They for a long time said "this is required we much have this otherwise it wont work, are you a developer, no it's required minons!!!", now they speak from the other face. You can't trust people like that. Especially enough to preorder anything.
However, it still is more expensive, still has the spy cam and is the weaker of the two (and next gen games all look kind of bad on both systems).
With Microsoft's involvement with the recent NSA scandal I doubt the Kinect will end up being as privacy invading as we first thought. In fact I'm sure at this point MS will go to whatever end it needs to make sure that it won't be an issue. They are already dealing with one very big privacy scandal , I doubt they want another.
If they were so concerned, they wouldn't force it to be plugged it unless the game needed it.
With Microsoft's involvement with the recent NSA scandal...
This proves that no matter what anyone does people will NEVER be happy. EVER.
I ALMOST feel bad for Microsoft...
