Message: <blockquote data-quote="brakel" data-source="post: 80999" data-attributes="member: 416">I kind of liked the direction they were going with being able to load disc based games to the HDD and then never having to put the disc in. Digital sharing and resales? I like that too. But I compare it to healthcare reform. You can't end pre-existing conditions without having mandatory insurance. You can't load your disc based game onto your HDD and then put it away forever without some majorly clamped down DRM like mandatory internet connection and no used disc sales.The end result was to take gaming to another place. Getting there was too difficult. What this opens up of course is for a console to come out that has no disc based games...oh, wait. Isn't the Ouya doing what MS was trying to do? But MS was being held back by the reality of disc based games. The Ouya is new. It just is what it is. They don't have to work around disc DRM because there are no discs. If MS had dropped disc based games for this gen they would not have needed the crazy DRM. But because their base players have certain expectations of how they will game, their fate was already decided before they made any announcements.</blockquote>
