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."

Oasis This is why people prefer ms. More often than not they listen and do their best to improve, obviously in the interest of profit.
This is a pretty good factor of Microsoft. If they can make greater profit out of something then they will try and do it hence they actually listen to the community now and then

M60RATFLuckyOtter It would be a nice addition but 10 sounds like a lot of people. The most people I have ever let borrow a game is three. So if they do bring it back I could see them going down to five.
5 is a reasonable number
Yeah 10 thats a bit too much. But the bigger the better
Five sounds around right for me. I would only lend 1-2 friends a game anyway
