After the backlash of the E3 2013 announcement of the Xbox One, Microsoft changed course and killed one digital sharing feature that was highly innovative - but it's not off the table yet.



From Neowin:

One of the features killed was 'home sharing', this feature allowed you to share your entire digital library and as long as you were not playing the game, others could tap into your library to access the title with up to ten people. This feature sounded awesome for those who prefer digital content to discs but alas, the Internet revolted against the company's DRM policies, and Microsoft was forced to kill the feature.

While the feature does not currently exists for Xbox One users, in a new interview, Phil Spencer said that he hasn't "given up on those ideas". The current issue is that there is more complexity because of the discs but it's good to know that the company is still considering the feature as it would likely be welcomed by those who prefer digital downloads to physical media.
