You are both missing the point . One is religious and does something , the other is religious and does something in the name of the religion . <| sep |> If you ' re both on the same console , you ' ll only need one Gold Live subscription account if you set that console as your home xbox in the settings . The other account can be Silver no Live subscription and still play all your games online . I think this works for up to 8 accounts per console , but don ' t quote me on the number . It can also work on 2 consoles if you set your consoles as each other ' s home xbox , allowing you to share games and a Live subscription . But only do it with someone you trust , as they ' ll have access to your account info . ~ usomuchclutch
