  The hot new thing that is wildly popular with all consumers! Definitely not something universally despised that Microsoft tried and reversed generations ago, which will surely make people buy $1000 Xboxes.

  Uh don’t do it. They’ll just some how add a encryption lock chained to a subscription to your “local drive” and force you to pay to play that game

    I'm going to suggest that they can already do this.

    We know that Xbox won't let you use a second account to play games you purchased on your original account on the same device. One way to get around this was to use physical disks. But there's no stopping them from modifying the OS to read a disk already registered with one account and prevent that dial from being used on another account.

    They are taking a shortcut though (probably to cut out the resale market) and just doing away with physical disks (just like Sony).
