I'm in this sounds dope as fukk. they just need to give us more then 24 hours.

Figured it was gonna be like this. Thankfully they didn't lock it down to one house/ip. Isn't shyt like this now (not locked to one household/ip)? Single players can eat good if they work the system right :shaq:

But if nikkaz really thought they were gonna eat off one game license and all play at the same time... :rudy:

If true, it makes the PS4 commercial mocking them look stupid in comparison, cause this is better.

But I'm sure ps5 will change things up and add something similar and homos like @Rekkapryde will be like :blessed:

nikka calls my name cause he still :mad:

Why you still mad fam? shyt is all good. Take that anger out on your meat or something.

PS3 has game sharing AND multiple people were able to eat/play the game at the same time. nikkaz were eating off Warhawk like it wasn't shyt. They ended up cutting the limit from 5 to 2, but even those 2 people can eat off a game and play it at the same time, even online. This is nothing new... :ld:

Sony had to cut that shyt out after a while because it hurt their money. MS for damn sure isn't gonna let it get out of hand.

doubt you can play the same game at the same time, they can access your account though


all though techically you could play the same game when you're offline and the secondary is online.

I thought you couldn't play a game if you weren't online/had a connection though?

This is a good idea. It's better than nothing. Anyone in your house can play your game as well as 10 people on your friends list.

It opens up a lot of games I don't usually buy.

you can stay off line for up 2 24 hours until you have to ping back in..rather it be with your home internet or telephone. apparently it's only a few KBs

when they say only one person the question is does that include the primary owner or is it besides the owner. if the primary owner and one other person can play the shared title at the same time that's interesting. that means you can go half on games with someone and play against them.

only one person can be playing the shared copy of a single game at any given time

It does say "shared copy," if you wanna get ultra literal. "Original copy" may be unaffected :manny:

There is a online check once every 24 hours. But beyond that you can play offline.

Not for the shared copy. Only the master account holder.


But anyway,


























wait for it...........



































I think this is dope. PSN sharing part 2 kinda. It "sounds" like the master license and shared license can play at the same time (need clarification on this from MS - everyone is all over the place with how it works which is a HUGE problem they have right now). Single player games will be eaten up quickly.

If I go in with a few people, we can all see who's playing what regardless. But if you buy Ryse, DR3, and Forza and let me and another homie eat too, you can rape MS (as long as we arent' playing at the same time of course). If nikkaz flip this shyt right, they can take advantage of this shyt big time.

Yeah I can see people making online X1 "sharing" communities. Buy 1 game get to play 10:blessed:

This will work perfect for single player games that get thrown in the bushes after you beat them anyway. Better than trade ins IMO. This way you save money AND get to keep the games:win:
