Thats pretty awesome, couldn't someone just log onto a stuff ton of his friends Xbox Ones and basically give them free gold then?
Maybe. I'm not sure how many consoles you can have your account on and it apply.
I've not really tested it. My dad, brothers and i have our own xbox ones, but we all had Gold from the 360, so we never tested how it works.
What
Why on earth would you ever need to pay for online gaming
Microsoft what the stuff
Microsoft hosts a lot of servers and you're partly paying for those.
There are further incentives though, like discounts for Gold members and bi-monthly free games for both consoles.
I don't mind paying for that.
Biggest con though is that you need Gold for things like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Sky On Demand.
That's on top of your already expensive subscriptions to those companies.
