Xbox Live Gold Family Pack will transition to individual accounts soon

4.6
Microsoft has announced that Xbox Live Gold Family Packs will be phased out, with each participant receiving their own account.

In a new FAQ, the company states that the transition will occur as early as August 27, and that each of a family's individual memberships will inherit the remaining Gold time on their Gold Family Pack account.

In addition, each new individual membership will be granted a bonus three months.

The transition follows the announcement that a single Xbox Live Gold account can be used by an entire household on Xbox One.

The new system, called 'Home Gold', allows the subscriber to designate a 'home' Xbox One with unviersal Gold privileges, meaning any Xbox Live account on that system can benefit from your Gold status.

When Live Gold Family Packs are transitioned, access to activity monitoring reports and Microsoft Points allowances will be disabled.

Microsoft will begin the Xbox Live Marketplace's transition from Microsoft Points to real-world currencies in 'late 2013', the company has confirmed.

Honestly, it's about time that this change taken place. It should have been like this from the beginning, but whatever - I guess they've made their money now. >_>
