  At E3 in 2013, Microsoft announced that all games, including physical copies, would be electronically bound to your Microsoft account, making “physical” copies just keys for their digital network.

  Sony famously made fun of them, and forced Microsoft to change course for the Xbox One/PS4 era

    OK good that you at least edited your statement about the disk drive out, because that was wrong.

    In to the Xbox One announcement, you’re leaving out very important information - the fact that they were allowing trading/re-selling and loaning of said digital games.

      Once per purchase, at participating retailers

        Of course you can only re-sell your purchase once 🤣
