They can’t stop you from playing games you already purchased and downloaded to local storage.

If you cannot access the internet without that mandatory installation you think your game gonna work??? :mjlol: Yeah sure you can possibly play the game OFFLINE on the harddrive, but what happens when you play only mulitplayer games and you need the server to maintain a constant connection??? :heh: What happens if all you dudes play is madden 2k and fortnite only?!?! :heh:

I mean why would I want to take that unnecessary risk man???

If you have a discless drive and MULTIPLAYER only game and if the server goes out then how can you play the game?!!?
:mindblown: Do you understand what I'm saying??? there are games relying on servers man...:francis: It's a possible hypothetical situation.

If the game is relying on the server, a disc won’t magically make the server work.

You don’t fukking play it.:dahell:

But that has nothing to do with a disc drive in your console or not.

And you see NO PROBLEM with a MP only game that you cannot play if the connection is broken constantly??? or other games that NEED the server??? :dahell:

You need a connection and valid servers to play, I think people know that going in for multiplayer games.

But again, what the fukk does that have to do with discs or this thread?

True...:patrice: but idk breh... it just irks me that people relying on discless systems and expecting everything to run smoothly... we've been down this road before WE ARE NOT READY... :comeon:
I was strictly a physical person when it came to gaming. But dlc (which I hate) kind of forced me into change. Also getting a physical version of a game and then still having to install and download updates to play are lame. All in all the only advantage of having a physical copy of the game now is for collecting purpose or resell.

Microsoft's Building a Disc-Less Xbox One for Release in 2019 - Thurrott.com

As a person that’s been discless most of this gen, I look forward to the disc swap program.

Microsoft ushering in the future of gaming :banderas:
the future of gaming is leasing not owning shyt.

I'm glad I'm a casual because I'll just stop gaming again. I don't buy games retail. We should be campaigning to change digital ownership rights because all we are doing is leasing things. If we are going to be all digital then I should have the option of multiple back ups beside just their servers. I should be able to transfer ownership of something I supposedly own as well. Fans are stupid if they go for this without much challenge. Fukk around and see your purchases disappear or get altered without your consent. Give me a dongle key if you have to but don't expect me to believe they will keep this on the level :mjlol:

Already been through this game with other digital purchasing platforms (itunes)... loose your login or something and you lost everything. Don't forget all the countries that have gamers living in places with trash internet.

Don’t know why y’all keep saying this dumb shyt. :snoop:

You already can have as many backups as you want, and servers turning off won’t make your backups stop working.
