Family Sharing could return to Xbox One, says Microsoft's Whitten
"We need to do more work to talk about what we're doing because I think that we did something different than maybe how people are perceiving it." For one thing, he said, Family Sharing isn't necessarily gone for good. "If [Family Sharing] is something that people are really excited about and want, we're going to make sure that we find the right way to bring it back." It would require additional engineering to enable Family Sharing after always-online was dropped, so the feature was removed from the Xbox One launch window.
Whitten said Microsoft "learned a lot of lessons" over the course of the Xbox One's reveal, and the company will be "engaging more with the community" going forward. "I think it's the number one thing I'd want to do if I went back, was have the conversation more open and more complete."

I like having the DRM policies The game sharing was a good feature but i don't like people just trying to get their friends to let them in their library.

Cool, I posted this a few hours ago. Lol. It personally doesn't matter to me if it comes back or not. I don't like anybody ever having access to my digital things.

I think they jumped to a decision when they took away the DRM.
They should of explained it more then made the decision.
