They can't kill it. It's integral to the way the system works. Games need to be installed so the OS can work basically like an iphone. Without some type of check in people would be able to install and play one disc on multiple systems.
This. I do think it is the wave of the future, however, there seems like there should be a way to make everyone happy.
I'm thinking maybe they could offer an option for consumers on the DRM issue.
Idea:
Have a disc that has a license that CAN be activated, allowing it to work seamlessly with X1 OS.
However, it has to be agreed to and activated by the consumer...by choice. Meaning, if you want Xbox Snap compatibility, allowing you to switch between games without the disc, you will activate.
However, if you want to have the disc playable only from the disc, allowing you to bring the disc to other people's house and playing it without the 24 hour check up, you don't activate it.
Effectively having the best of both worlds.
That way, the people who know they will be connected to the internet all of the time, the people who want next gen OS X1 OS, the people who want to seamlessly go from game to game without even a hiccup, and allowing cloud to spread piff on said game, they will activate the license and bask in the glory.
Those who want to casually play games online and offline, bring games over to their friend's house, but don't want to experience the nirvana that is X1 Snap... they can just play off disc.
Now, if you activate the license, there is no turning back.
Thoughts?
