I guess there are rumblings of Microsoft reworking some sort of sharing plan. It will be interesting to see the competition over these features.

Yup, the whole "family sharing" thing was just something they made up on the spot to try to justify and deflect the whole DRM fiasco when it blew up in their face. It's why there were no details and they quietly let it die out.
It was hilarious to see those odd fanboy nutbars running to embrace the Xbone "awesome" DRM features. "See, it's great we'll be able to get free games from all our friends if we bend over! They told us we would get free games! FREE GAMES". Like publishers or developers would hand over 10 free games for each one they could sell.
In fact, there was and
still is nothing in their way implementing the family sharing policy right now for their digital game sales . . . if it ever was a real thing. And it's been more than a year now since it they threw it out there. It's like the
great white hope of the crazies calling for DRM being pushed down their throat voluntarily. They even had a petition going demanding that the Xbone DRM policy be re-implemented.
