Never heard of anyone getting a ban on doing it, the process is essentially on Microsoft website so they know its being done. I suppose the risk is you falling out with the person you gameshare with, thankfully thats not happened to me in the past 6 years and myself and my gameshare buddy will be continuing this cash saving initiative :D:D

I think my problem is a personality trait. My stuff is my stuff. I've never really looked into it but basically you 1/2 the cost by sharing games. If your internet is down you don't have access to your games but that's the only downside (or at least how it was explained to me)

The more that do that the less digital can decrease as it just results in 100% of profits going to gameatop/cex/smyths in the long run. In my own opinion to sooner that model is gone the better. Of more buy digital we will see prices drop in digital over time and better sales as the margins get shorter. Also I'm a massive advocate of gameshare so I haven't paid more than 40 euro for a game at launch in years.
