Microsoft kills game ownership and expects us to smile
1.You do not own the games you buy. You license them.
2.Discs are only used to install and then license games and do not imply ownership.
3.People can play games installed on your console whether you're logged in or not.
4.10 people can be authorised to play these games on a different Xbox One via the cloud, but not at the same time, similar to iTunes authorised devices.
5.Publishers decide whether you can trade in your games and may charge for this.
6.Publishers decide whether you can give a game you own to someone for free, and this only works if they have been on your friends list for 30 days.
7.Your account allows you to play the games you license on any console.
8.Your Xbox One must connect to the internet every 24 hours to keep playing games.
9.When playing on another Xbox One with your account, this is reduced to one hour.
10.Live TV, Blu-ray and DVD movies are exempt from these internet requirements.
11.Loaning and renting games will not be possible at launch, but Microsoft is "exploring the possibilities".
12. Kinect Mandatory to operate console.

In regards to your "licensing" games, you do realise that it's the same with Steam right?
-
Steam has massive discounts. Games are cheaper new than console games. Library is absolutely massive and includes games many years old. Xbox One is like a PC with all the drawbacks and none of the benefits.
-
I agree with the none of the benefits thing. Sharing your games around and playing offline well (steam offline is stupidly fickle) were the main pros of the consoles. Don't know what they were thinking.

You will be able to give your Xbox One games to your friends, but only once and only to friends you've known for more than a month. That's according to the new rules shared today about Xbox One game licensing by Microsoft. All games will be available new in both disc or digital form, and will need to be installed on your Xbox One while logged in. From there, you'll be registered for the game on the cloud, so you'll be able to play it wherever you're logged into an Xbox One, even if you happen to be at a friend's house. You will have the option to resell that game back to a retailer, but that retailer will have to sign up with Microsoft to allow you to do so. Microsoft won't charge fees to do that, but it does say that "third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers." You can give the game away, but only once and only to someone who's been on your friends list for that required 30 days. Microsoft also says that the ability to loan or rent games "won't be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners." All of the information about game licensing on the new console can be seen on the official Xbox One site.
