I'm a big fan of physical games, I want to own them, and play them even if the internet isn't available, and this blocks that, I don't want it. I don't have a gaming PC anymore because I can buy a console cheaper, but if physical discs are gone, gaming PC's allow for piracy so I can keep the games for as long as I want because I don't see every future Xbox having backward compatibility.
Also the used game market makes it so you can buy and sell your games when you are done with them. I switched to PC awhile ago. I don't think it's really cheaper. It cost about $1000 to build a PC that can compete with a $400 console.
That PC is an investment. It will easily outlast at least three generations of $500 consoles, because it can be upgraded.
Yeah but upgrading your GPU costs as much as a new console.
