Simple blog post here. Click that link. Read ALL of it and let it process. Most of peoples issues with the new Xbox should be answered in that news post. 

One of the biggest issues I've seen people complaining about is multi-console house holds and or other family members playing a game that someone else in the family purchased.

Well problem solved in these three bullet points:

• Access your entire games library from any Xbox Oneno discs required: After signing in and installing, you can play any of your games from any Xbox One because a digital copy of your game is stored on your console and in the cloud.  So, for example, while you are logged in at your friends house, you can play your games.
  
  
• Share access to your games with everyone inside your home: Your friends and family, your guests and acquaintances get unlimited access to all of your games.  Anyone can play your games on your console--regardless of whether you are logged in or their relationship to you.
  
  
• Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friends house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games.  You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.

Access to your entire library from ANY xbox. Unlimited Access to family and guests whether you are logged in or not.

Up to TEN members can log in and play shared games from your library on ANY xbox one and at ANY time. 

Are you logged in playing Forza, your kid logs in and plays Forza down stairs too... no problem.

If you can still complain about that then I am positive nothing will please you. 

This actually adds an avenue that wasnt possible with a single disc copy. If the wife and I both wanted to play mass effect we both had to buy a copy. Thats not the case any more. People should be happy about that. 

Now these last two bullet points are were some people and rightfully so have some room to complain.

• Trade-in and resell your disc-based games: Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers.  Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games. 
  
  
• Give your games to friends: Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.

Its not as bad as most people are building it up to be. With just a couple slight tweaks this could work. One big thing to take is that there is NO FEE for trading or reselling you game. Which plenty of people still seem to think is the case. IT is just not so. It is up the the publishers now if youre game will have some sort of digital DRM. This is my opinion, but I think without MS and Sony backing these policies 100% publishers will not risk the extreme backlash that could come from disallowing resell or trading of any kind.

Second was the misconception of not being able to trade games at all, even just to your friends. Once again here MS has taken the step back stance of leaving it up the publishers enabling this. If available though only one single trade with the stipulation of it being a person on your friends list for at least 30 days. Now if this accounts for say, me lending it to a friend who can then return it, or me lending it to a friend and having the option of getting it back somehow. I could see that as being a better system. More of a lend or give/gift option. One option is just a game on loan, the other becomes theirs permanantly. 

We'll have to see where MS goes with this, but from my perspective, currently this system is pretty acceptable. For someone who uses Steam this should seem pretty par for the course. 

I should say that I don't buy or sell used games, so none of what the majority of people complaining about concerns me personally. Having played mostly pc games for most of my gaming life and having used steam since its inception with Half-Life 2 I have become accustomed to digital delivery. 

I feel what we are seeing here is just a repeat of what happened when Steam was released and the backlashed it caused. Now just take that and place it on the console croud, people will get used to the idea. 

IF microsoft can offer what steam does in terms of pricing I think this could actually be a winning strategy. Many times games within 6 months drop down to half or less than half their original cost. IF it plays out similarly I could see this working. I tend to buy 5-8 games yearly via pre-order or special edition (Full price). The other 5-15 games or so that I buy are usually bargain bin prices or when I catch a steam sale.  

The rotten eggs being thrown about the Xbox one just dont hold any lasting stink.

The new generation will roll in and if gaming media will get off their propaganda horses and wait for facts maybe all the reluctant consumers they are creating will turn to paying customers.
