You should see those virgins attacking the XsS at every opportunity. Sad cretins.
On topic though, my fibre was out for a few hours a couple of months back and I couldn’t play. Even with my console set as my home console

You can use your phone internet for the Xbox check, did that in the summer when we were moving and had no home internet.

I don't like gamepass because it feels like some post apocalyptic future where we plug fleshy plug-limb hybrids into greasy, slimy, used vagina-like ports in the yellow and black painted columns in MacDonald's food courts to play games.
I've been developing this take for a while, it is steadily gaining in nuance and refinement.

The problem with gaming is that you need power to run the console. I had a power outage the other day and literally couldn't play. It's the downside with gaming. Microsoft needs to do something about this.

Ps vita! Just go find a public plug hole and you have access to the game libraries of a dozen different consoles!

Interesting, I wonder if they have changed something on the console side about when the game is associated with your account. Maybe it used to be when downloaded but changed to when loaded. On pc when you first boot a gamepass game you get a dialog confirming you want to give this app permissions on this device, if you havn't done this the game wont load when offline either. You can actually run into a problem with a game that wont load because that permission dialog never appears and must just sit there for ages trying to connect to something it can't.

Nothing has changed, it’s really simple.
OP is either lying or missing a trick and I haven’t figured out which one yet.
Im leaning towards it wasn’t always his home console, and he never bothered to click download again after he console status, so his console never knew it changed.

This is misleading.
With physical games the licence you paid for is binded to the physical media you OWN. And since you own it you are entitled to use it without any limitation (within the law) and to transfer the right to use it to other by selling/borrowing it freely. Nobody can ever stop it from working, unless it is an online game (or the support breaks).
You are fooling yourself if you think that digital and physical games retain the same rights to dispose of the licence.

Never unset your home xbox as the home console for sharing, because Sony has one system of sharing does not mean, that it's the same as on Xbox, it works sure but it's suboptimal solution.

Yeah, it's not like people can have wired, broadband internet and a mobile with 3G mobile internet. It's 1999 again I guess.

1999 maybe not, but I agree, we peaked at around 2010-2012. After that it's pretty much downhill. Facebook/twitter took over, tiktok and others are cancerous. At least neogaf still is a forum and not a FB group where you can't search for anything :/

Works out pretty well with my music tv and movies. I don’t need to own my entertainment.
I don't own an Xbox, use GP or have issues with my internet. I was just responding to your post. The majority of the United States also does not have fiber internet.

If tethering means hotspot, that’s not part of my plan. And at the time the issue occurred there were other users having the same problem.

You mad? What’s the purpose of any forum? Discussion, sharing ideas and opinions. Clearly you don’t agree

Gamepass is out on PC. I gather you played the beta multiplayer Halo and play on Steam. So spare us on the lack of internet

No doubt using the internet to wank too, but can't use the internet for Gamepass

That's actually not true, the limited license, if you look closely, can be revoked. It's true they aren't exactly the same, but it's still an issue. Plus many games nowadays do have that online component.
Also keep in mind the digital version actually has more flexibility in terms of using it (for example on 2 machines at once). Who cares if they take away my digital game when I am 90 and playing newer stuff anyhow.

My internet was out a few days ago and I tried to play Halo Infinite and it would not let me and gave me the message to go online. My Xbox is set to home console and I'm online just about every day

Well, it's not exactly a secret that the content available to us via Game Pass isn't ours to own. But they should figure out how to get it working with a valid subscription offline. I understand they need to validate the subscription in some way but if the system has a data point saying the person last played a Game Pass game 'today' and their system goes offline for whatever reason, it should allow access based on that last data point.
EDIT
Based on 10101's post...it does seem to do that.

The real problem with Gamepass and any future services like it is that in the long run there's no real need for first party to put much effort in their games since retail sales won't matter. I mean it's not like people will cancel their subs if a game isn't that great. Personally I think the Halo Infinite campaign is no where near as good as Reach but I didn't cancel my sub. If Starfield turns out to be not that great will I cancel my sub, probably not, if I'm playing other games on the service at the time. It's like at the buffet, if one thing isn't that great you just get something else instead on your next plate, you don't just walk out. Retail games are more like à la carte dining where quality matters and directly affects generated revenue.

Is that there are too many games and too little time ...

The only problem with GP on PC is that it's a Microsoft app and inherently fucking awful.
I have to log out and log back in every single time I restart my PC. It's a tiny price to pay for how cheap I got this subscription but it doesn't shock me that such a bug exists.

I had kind of a moment like this yesterday. Was watching Diehard on MSFT's Movies app (I own digital version) and it stopped the movie halfway and said I couldn't play the movie because my clock needed to be synced or something like that. Rebooting the app didn't help, had to power cycle system. Can't play an owned movie because of the f'n clock?
I've only had a movie stop because of disc issues a few times ever in literally decades, but weird issues like streaming apps crashing, freezing, buffering, stopping, etc can happen every few days, and I have amazing internet.

Don't have any issues either w/ GP on PC via the gamepass app and I have over 35 games installed from it on multiple partitions.

Same here. Games on multiple drives on PC, games on XSX......never a single issue. Not saying this doesn't happen. Googling shows it clearly does, but I don't think it is common enough to call it "the problem with Game Pass".

Nah, I'm sure it's fine for a lot of users just like Teams has been for most except me. Everyone's mileage varies.
My other issue is the download management is abhorrent but again, that's a Windows / App issue and I can get past it.
