Well at least part of it was true...
From what I've read the majority of people that are upset about this change are upset because the family sharing plan and installing from disc is going away. Those are both legitimate reasons to be upset since those were confirmed features of the Xbox One. In a lot of ways I agree and think that us caring about used games and physical sharing is taking a step back progress-wise, but I do think the 24 hour check needed to die.
I think I said it on here before, I think they could still implement at least the sharing part of the old system easily: simply require daily checks every 24 hours if someone is actively using a game they are "borrowing" digitally from another person. Then when the owner requests the game back the other person can no longer use it. Unfortunately too many companies (including Microsoft it seems) are still hesitant about non-physical media.
