Because they're probably greedy, like most corporations. They want to keep people under their thumb, monopolize the gaming experience and make everybody pay.

Other users on the console will be able to play that game as well, Harrison said. So you don't need to buy multiple games per family. "With the built-in parental controls of the system it is shared amog the users of the device," he said.

It will work and let me explain why. When you purchase anything off XBL you get two licenses. One Console license and one Gamertag license. The console license allows all Gamertags on that console to use that content (barring avatar items). If you give your friend the console license by installing it on their console first with your own Gamertag then they will get the console license to play the full game any time they please.
You would retain the Gamertag license which will allow you to download and play the full game when you get home. Since its a Gamertag license you are restricted to having a connection to xbl for the game to function.
The only thing I'm curious about is these parental controls. It may change the license system which could potentially fuck this up.
As of yet games not working offline is up to each individual developer but we are supposed to hear more about this at E3.
Sony never said they weren't blocking used games. They said they'd be playable with some vague ish about system services needing to be explained. Xbox One can play use games... I think a lot of people jumping on PS4 so hard are gonna be extra tight come E3 but we'll see.
Going by this generation devs release PC versions of mulitplat console games when they feel like it, if they feel like it. For instance Fighting games rarely come out on PC. MK9 from 2011 is coming to PC July 2013. Ninja Gaiden isn't on PC. Soulcaibur V isn't on PC. I need more stability then what PC offers. As of right now PC isn't a viable option for me at all. Fuck the pretty graphics. I want games I like.

It is officially confirmed that PS4 will fully allow playing used games.

Your missing the point I think. Xbox One will play used games too, behind a fee of course. Sony said PS4 will play used games too but when asked "If someone buys a PS4 game your not gonna stop them from reselling it?". The response was. "So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?". That's some vague stuff coming from the same guy (Shuhei Yoshida) your linked article was talking about.

^This is the actually interview and not a summary. After reading it you can't help but feel like it was a half truth. Doesn't sound like a confirmation that used games can fully be played on PS4 to me at least. We'll see at E3 though.
Anyway get hype people. Killer Instinct 3 sounds like a strong possibility. Even moreso since they just cleared that legal dispute with Fox a month or two ago. http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/21/43...13-perfect-dark-killer-instinct-banjo-kazooie

The main issue why gamers hate the XBOX ONE is DRM. Take away the DRM, get the gamers back, its simple. If you want stability my friend, I honestly, from the bottom of my heart, suggest looking at PS4. I'm not being a fanboy here - I love my 360 and my PS3, and I've racked up thousands of hours on both. This is about sustainability and freedom to play as we see fit. XBOX ONE, as it is now, does not offer that. I forever want to be able to play my games, 10-20 years down the road, without an internet connection, and without console restriction. That's already why I stopped buying things as digital downloads a long time ago, and now I only buy physical discs as much as I can - because I can still play those many many years down the road. That way is also nice because should anything happen to my console I still have everything. I shouldnt have to have it forced onto me because a company thinks its best. The company doesnt care about how I want to use my product that I purchased, the company just wants to make money.
And just because fighting games and the like dont come out frequently on PC now doesnt mean they wont ever. With how similar the architecture between consoles and PC's are next gen, I really wouldnt be suprised if EVERYTHING is tripple cross platform between XBOX ONE, PS4 and PC, just like I wouldnt be surprised if PC games became widely windows AND linux compatible by looking at how things are currently going with steam(not saying I like steam).
EDIT: MERGING MY OWN POST
I believe that would be their official answer. That doesnt mean AT ALL that they intend to impose fees on people. And if they WERE planning on it now, I bet they arent anymore.
