Question about XBL and Destiny (Destiny)

It should work but he might not have access to all the content. There is an easy fix for that though, just log the primary account in on the same machine that he is playing on.

Forgive my ignorance and stupidity, but how exactly does that work?

We’ll assume that the friend is playing on your 360. I think what Blackt1g3r’s saying is that you'll sign in as ‘Oholiab’ first before having the friend pull his own account down. I don’t know if you’ll need a second controller to keep your account logged-in in the background, but I don’t think so. The idea is that the Destiny content is licensed to your account, so it needs to be active/present for the content to be playable.

I’m not sure that’s 100% necessary, though, especially if you’re running off the disc versions of the game. I’d try it with just his account first and see what happens.
