The "family sharing" aspect of Xbox One has been compared to iTunes Home Sharing. If that's the case, you wouldn't have been able to share games with your brother anyway -- Home Sharing only works for systems that are on the same Wi-Fi network. I don't think Microsoft's original idea was as cool as you think it was.
- ecdavis 13y agoMicrosoft's "family sharing" (terrible name) allowed you to share games in your library with up to 10 people, regardless of where they were in the world[1]. It didn't just extend to people in the same house. With this announcement we lose that feature.
