Same here. I don’t get this either. Sharing even works on PC (although it may be less obvious than on the XBox). When my son is logged in to his PC with his Microsoft account, I can log in to the Store with my account with GPU, and then just install the desired GPU games. And then my son can play it perfectly.
Even multi-player is also possible in this way, where we play the same game at the same time, each on our own PC.
Incidentally, that is the same with Sony with their PlayStation Now and Plus subscriptions, and I think it is only logical. It would be crazy that everyone in the household would have to take out their own GPU/Plus/Now subscription.
So no, I don’t really understand this news article either.
EDIT: as others also respond here, there are indeed limitations with 1 single GPU subscription within 1 family. For example, you can’t use xCloud with 2 at the same time, because you need to be logged in with the account on which the GPU subscription is located. 2 XBox consoles within 1 household therefore do not work (which is also the case with Sony PlayStation).
