So there's a very good chance that a few generations from now this will just be an expensive paperweight? Like I've accepted that most games need online connections these days, and so do the consoles, but now we even need it for the add-ons?
The article says it's for the initial pairing.
It's still worth paying attention to in terms of repairability when the drive dies, but it shouldn't actually affect my usability if I buy one, personally. I'm guessing they're worried that without signing the drive, it will be a huge piracy/hacked game vector.
Why have you accepted this? Why would anybody accept this?!
