So the plot thickens.......
Cliffs Notes: Yes there will be a "fee" but it will be the game shop owners that pay it, not the consumers.

You, the shopper, won't have to pay the activation fee for a used Xbox One game - the shop will. Therefore, the price you see on a second-hand Xbox One game in a shop is the price you'll pay to be able to play it.
That's what a high-ranking UK industry source explained to me this afternoon....etc.
We pay it directly=pay M$
Game Company Pays=We pay more for game=They pay M$
Either way this is an ill conceived plan, game are already expensive enough, so unless this somehow reduces the prices of new games there is no way this is a good plan.
Kinect has to be connected to use the Xbox-Fail
You have to connect online at least once every 24hrs=Fail
Mandatory game installs=Fail0
