And my brother on his xbox is glitched. He has the nief bundle but didn't actually receive the mech. He has it installed, but he just does not receive the Neif mech and there doesn't seem to be much he can do about it.

 

His account is Fortnyaa if I can get Neif added to his mechs that would be great thanks.

If he has his own gold account. which he would need for a second xbox and access to live without shared gold account which only works via same xbox. Then your home sharing which violates your End User agreement and steals money from the developers of any games you have shared. I highly suggest that you not mention on any forum that you Home Share. As it is illegal.

I really hope you realize how stupid you sound right now, do you think before you post?

As for the OP, yes if you are homesharing you cannot use the bundle on either console, its unfortunate but may be fixed at a later date.

Family sharing is not illegal, please get acquainted with Xbox One features if you are going to be an Xbox Ambassador.

 

 "Regardless of whether or not the console owner is connected, friends and family can log in to their accounts and use Gold features, and you can do the same on their Xbox. Essentially, only one user needs a Gold account: Anyone using a Gold machine can access Gold features, even if they're not a paid subscriber."

 

MC coins are not shared, but DLC bundles like the Nief bundle are supposed to be shared. Right now my brother has the Nief bundle installed and it is NOT accessible whether I'm' logged onto his Xbox or he is. This is a fault not on me. If the Nief was account bound and I had to purchase it I would gladly purchase it on both accounts, but right now HAWKEN is utilizing the Microsoft store so I get 2 copies of anything I get outside of MC coins currently for my Xbox and my brothers.

 

I'm looking for technical support on how to get this fixed for a great game I intend on financially supporting down the road.

Thanks, I'm at least trying to bring it into awareness as I haven't seen anyone else with the issue. Hopefully they can fix this in the near future, I'd love to run double Nief with my brother.

Family  Gold Account sharing is indeed not illegal. but the shared content would still only work on the original xbox and for the original owner. Not on a second one unless it was home shared. (Which is illegal) hence the reason I said not mention it in open forums.

 

I have been an xbox ambassador for 8 years now. There is very little about the box and the technical issues I don't understand.

As it states below in the italics you so generously retrieved from xbox, that is on one xbox the original users xbox.

 

DLC will be unlocked for your profile no matter what box you use and download it too but when you move your profile back or sign out of that xbox the rights to its usage go away as well.

I would try uninstalling the Nief from your brothers XBox and reinstalling it.

Doesn't seem to change anything. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, owning the Nief bundle without actually being able to use it is kind of a bummer.
