I have nothing against physical discs, or those who would prefer to own them. I just don't care about it myself, so I'm not going to fight to keep them.

    You should at least want the option because it keeps them honest. If it's digital only, there's all kinds of shenanigans they can get up to. "Sorry your console is EOL now so we're disabling it, but don't worry, just buy our newest XBone720 and you can re-buy all your favorite classic games and play them on a shitty emulator!"

    At least with physical option they know people would go back to buying physical media (which they make less money from) if they tried such a thing.
