: Think about it for a second, and REALLY think about it. Do you honestly think
: that you could buy a game, and then lend it to anyone on your friends list
: as long as you consider them one of the 10 people that are in your family?
: You criticize them for implementing DRM, but then think that they are
: going to let 10 people anywhere in the world to play your ONE copy for
: free? This is way too good to be true guys.
: From what I've been reading (And granted, these sources aren't exactly super
: concrete) it seems that when everyone states that you will be able to
: share your game with family, you are only lending the game to someone in
: order for them to try it out. By "try it out", I mean that they
: are basically playing a demo of the game. They get the game and are able
: to play it for 30-45 minutes and then are kicked off. This seems like a
: MUCH more likely scenario than letting any 10 people on your friends list
: play your entire game as long as you flag them as family and only 1 person
: plays it at a time. That would completely defeat the purpose of lending
: games over XBL with a limit of 1 share per game when you can just let any
: 10 friends play your game for free any time that you want.
: Below is where I got my info. Again, it's just a rumor and most of this info
: is coming from the comments, but if you really think about it for a
: second, it makes a lot of sense.

I do not believe for a second that is a MS source. Just like the other supposed MS engineer was outted for being a fabrication.
Never believe this stuff unless it can be tracked back to it's owner for verification.
