IF the 45 minute thing is accurate, this is no great loss. But it doesn't make much sense; there's no real reason why they couldn't just let you still do the family share thing but base it on games you've played on your system. If the thing was always going to essentially be a demo, why not just let people do it anyway?



Before this random, uncited source I was pretty upset about the loss of the family share thing, because unless MS were explicitly lying there was no room for interpretation and, at the very least, one person could play one of your games at any one time. If that was the situation, we've lost a great thing, something far more appealing to me than "oh hey you can lend a disc to a friend". Never mind the fact we're back in the stone age with disc swapping. This situation makes Xbox One a whole lot less appealing to me, not that it had much appeal anyway after it's E3 showing.
