Suggestion & device Ideas (Two)

This could be used for the following.

·        Wish list.
·        Price drop.
·        Pre-order released ready to be used.
·        Promo codes

Now to get messages like this added to “Messages from Xbox store” we mark them inside the Xbox store. This would be for example favoriting whatever we picked in the store or choosing update notification on release on buy-out.

This would be a new area under “messages from Xbox live” this way people do not get confused on official Xbox staff messages to Xbox mark place messages.

Do Not Add Here At All Messages Xbox live only.

·        Enforcement
·        Xbox Gold Run Out
·        Your report has been successful
·        Xbox payment redeemed
·        Xbox contact information's of any type.

Thier is times events that go on and not everyone knows a game has a holiday content download. I want two types of opt in & out notifications.

·        Xbox store downloadable data notifications
·        In game only content event notifications

This can be toggled on and off when setting up Xbox for the very first time.

When we wish not not use it anymore we can go into our Xbox settings to toggle on/off under our “subscriptions”, as it’s a notification subscription we are using and makes sense to have the opted options in this area.

People do not understand what game-sharing means or how it might work and affect them. As 99% of people think of it incorrectly, Microsoft has mislabeled it by calling it game-sharing. They have never corrected anyone or provided important information when selecting the game-share option, thus avoiding the true meaning and its game-share limits. In reality, two copies of a game can be used at once with owner rights. The Xbox doesn’t truly have this feature; it’s more of a loophole that end-users use to run the game more than once. Xbox’s idea of game sharing is if you own the game and make the Xbox your home console, everyone can play the owner’s games under that Xbox. Unfortunately, this has led to widespread misunderstanding among users. I believe having proper game sharing on Xbox would be beneficial. This would mean shared accounts are locked out of the main campaign of games, and game owner rights become even more critical at this point.

This is game sharing done right! Not full copies of the games throughout the house, but rather a way to play without buying full games. I believe this is more in line with the spirit and idea of game sharing that companies are exploring and will offer to us.

GamePass is a form of rental rights and isn’t primarily about sharing. However, the full game can still be shared between accounts. This serves as an excellent example of full game sharing, as everyone with Game Pass can share a complete game without restrictions. (Again, this isn’t traditional game-sharing, but rather an example of full sharing—imagine if each game were allowed on home networks with no limits to play.) I’m sharing this thought for better understanding, so people can recognize the differences in game licensing.

There is no option for game-sharing on Xbox, and they should create an area to facilitate this type of sharing. That way, more than one member of the household can use the same game.

 

This limitation prevents shared users from playing solo games; they can only access multiplayer games unless they are partied together in the same game. If the owner leaves and tries to switch to another game, it would force the shared game to close. Essentially, any new multiplayer-to-solo transitions are disabled on the owner’s account until the shared user logs out forcefully or peacefully. However, if the shared user has their own rights to the game content, they can continue playing freely within those limits.

Owners and shared accounts cannot host games this way. If they get forcefully logged out, it reduces the chance of them negatively impacting other players’ game experiences.

 

Shared accounts will have an icon in multiplayer lobbies, allowing others to assess whether a game is worth playing with the group.

The game owner’s account must extend an invitation to the shared accounts for this system to function.

Owner leaves the game, and shared accounts leave as well, but if there are more shared accounts on the network, this would open a ‘party line’ so shared accounts can rejoin the game if allowed. As long as the shared account didn’t end their party session by entering a new game, they should be able to continue playing. However, logging out of the account is uncertain, as the connection between all Xbox consoles might still be established. We wouldn’t want to force a complete reboot of all Xbox consoles via a game owner invite.

Owners can re-enter shared games without any issues. This allows the game to be closed without affecting the other shared game on their Xbox home network. In other words, the game owner can watch Mixer or YouTube while waiting for the shared Xbox to finish up, without experiencing unfair game close treatment from Xbox.

Owner Xbox will disable auto shutdown when it recognizes a shared game established connection.

   

Game owner message: This will bring up a notification saying that if you log in, it will log out all devices. Additionally, if you break the home networking connection, it will close the game. This prevents any loopholes that people might try to exploit to allow more games to work than originally intended. Turning off the Xbox also breaks the connection to home networking sharing. Each game will provide the console with a recognizable connection key for normal users. This prevents individuals from setting up a program or device to falsely claim it’s still connected to the main owner’s Xbox when it’s not. Ultimately, this ensures that people cannot freely use full copies of games for which they have no rights.

Owner-locked campaign, if possible, when sharing. I believe this should be an owner’s right when not sharing.

Owner multiplayer is disabled if the shared account is still in a multiplayer game and not partied with shared accounts anymore.

 
    

Not allowing a game to start without a shared logout once you leave the game and try to start anew

There is a lot of work that Xbox needs to do and rules they must follow to make true game sharing happen.
