A digital only console becoming mainstream is the death of video games that PC gaming began. That's the last fucking thing we need is more loss of ownership on products. Microsoft can fuck themselves, this leak should blow a sizeable hole in their operations

I've had enough bad luck with physical media, that this kind of thing doesn't phase me. It's a nice feeling to have a physical collection of games. It's nice to look at on a shelf, it's cool. But eventually your console will fail in some way, even if you treat it like gold. Either it will die completely, or in my case, two of them just stopped being able to read discs for no reason. I can still use the consoles, but the physical games I have are useless pieces of polycarbonate plastic unless I replace the entire console or at least the disc drive.

All the digital games I have? Oh no, I don't actually "have" them. I don't technically own them, whatever that really means. But I can still play them.

Look upon my physical games collection, ye mighty, and despair.
