Why did they take it away, if they are going to bring it back? Its sound like I'm taking my ball and going home type moment from MS, and this is why I can't fukk with them right now. He's basically saying we may bring it back, but never offers why they took it away. They just need to shut the fukk up an do it, not talk about it.

I have a suspicion them MFers are going to put it behind a paywall and make you pay more on a tiered system silver gold and now plat.

They took it away because it was going to include all games and be always online. My guess is that it will be just digital.

there just seems to be no direction with these cats.

good for them though IF they bring it back.

I don't think its a lack of direction. I think they just market everything wrong. We should have known about the family share way before we learned it was always online.

So if I'm online or not doesn't affect having this as a feature. You're on someones friend list, Just make sure that your friends are online so you can tap into there games period, all MS has to do is make sure that the feature is part of they're ecosystem.

This will be a pay to play system, simply because publisher will lose a shyt load of money.

:snoop: did you even read the interview.

It comes down to logistics. They had it set a certain way and since they changed that, it's gonna be a while before they implement the family share feature back into the system.

These things have to be developed on the software side and pitched/agreed on with devs and retail. They won't be able to get all that done before launch.

Sure dude, I'm no expert not even close, but I have a hard time believing that shyt. Just like Major Nelson told Angry Joe, when angry joe said I know there is a check box that can undo some of this stuff and Major Nelson said how would you know, are you a developer? 2 days later DRM shyt gone, I'm just not buying what he's selling at this point.

Here's an actual quote from the article...
just from a pure engineering perspective, to be able to get that work done. So taking Family Sharing out of the launch window was not about ‘we’re going to take our toys and go home’ or something like that. It was just sort of the logistics of ‘how do we get this very, very clear request that people really want, that choice, and how do we make sure we can do an excellent job of that
But even with this, I see things that make me have questions. The article talks about just getting to launch, then adding a bunch of features. But before they would talk about how they wanted everything implemented at the start of this gen so you can fully enjoy your "do everything box"
I knew they would still add features over time, but still. Now it seems like they gonna "ACT" like they doing all this work, then they'll give us what they was gonna give us anyway and be like "Tadaaaaaa" which is cool for people who don't follow them already. People that follow them already know things that you guys don't talk about (PS fanboys)

Crimson Dragon is a 360 XBLA title that was moved to Xbox One. Not improved. I've read on here how ppl said "Yo, that looked really good" well its a 360 game that hasn't been improved at all. Tru Story

New systems updating themselves because they connected. I have an always on xbox 360 that does all that. No, literally all that :youngsabo:
Your xbox 360 can do it too, just not right now like mine can. So that feature isn't something special, not really.

Family sharing, makes only too much sense to have it for DD only games. (GOD)
That way, there is more insentive to buy games digitally. Immediately games would be more popular via download. We all assume it'll be like that in a few years anyway :manny: I don't buy the whole "We got to figure shyt out and blah blah blah"

And if they really think the issue is communicating what they want? The same article then said because of the "petition" they are doing a better job of communicating :what:
:mindblown:
All they need to do is holla at me, I'll take the message global instead of bullshytting in this small pond that IMDB doesn't even recognize

TYRONE GA!

that's kinda what I meant. it's like everyone there in that division is on there on page spilling information whether right or wrong or not being on the same page as far as the message.

just....disorganized.

that's all they had to do IMO. Just do it for digital purchases. Similar to what Sony is doing. That way you are covered for both disc and digital versions. Gives you the incentive to go digital (depending on your situation). As long as games are available day one (most of the big ones are nowadays), it should be good.

I wouldn't say that. What they wasn't prepared for was answering questions.
They wasn't ready for the type of questions that was being asked so the answers were not uniformly the same. And people was asking questions they wasn't ready to answer yet.

When I look at sony, they just didn't answer shyt. That doesn't mean they are organized. And from the looks of things (adding 4gb of RAM this late) its CLEAR whats really going on. Both companies are still tweaking, they both trying to figure out what the other is doing. So the info that they want released is not all the info. All of this makes them appear confused. But only YOU the consumer is. They had a clear plan of going totally digital. They didn't expect Fanboy outrage to have as much wings as it did. I feel I'm an expert and I couldn't of foresaw fanboys voices having that much pull :snoop: So the side who wasn't even pro xbox made it clear they didn't like what Xbox was getting. Said the Family share isn't better than getting ripped off by gamestop. You guys make threads on how rapestop is full of shyt, but now its bad to cut them out? Anyway, you can't have family share and allow disc to be used anywhere. You confused if you think/thought that was ever a possibility. So for PR reasons, that was changed. No confusion on Microsoft, they listened and a week later it was changed. Now they trying to figure out how to give it back. Doing what I suggested (sharing for DD titles only) is one possible way, but what are the draw backs of doing it my way "logistically?"
I haven't fathomed those numbers. I only have done things like calculate how many ppl would understand the vision for Kinect 2.0. And that number is somewhere around 1,300,000 people.

If Microsoft would like to know how I came up with that accurate number, please contact a brotha so we can turn this around together :shake:

Sony is NOT doing anything remotely close to family sharing, why even say that :wtf:
Sony is following Microsofts lead on all this stuff bruh. They are now tying everything to your gamertag so you can access your shyt.
They couldn't do that in the past because gamertags were free and abundant on PS3 so it didn't make sense to do so then.
Be very clear on this Rekka, Sony is trying to reach XBL 2005 status. Not be equal to its 2013 incarnation :ufdup:
