Thinking about it, it is more than just cutting production and distribution costs. It boils down to one word: CONTROL.
If DD is the future with every game, movie, and piece of music on DD, then the control of ownership goes from the individual to whoever is owning the servers housing the digital content.
I am not some Baby Boomer luddite who is uncomfortable with "new technology." As a member of Generation Y or Millennial, I have grown up with the ever changing technology of our times, yet I still place value on physical ownership of what I purchase.
Furthermore, with monthly fees and whatnot if you decide to cancel, they could wipe your account information from their servers within a day or months, then if you ever decide to reactivate you will be forced with paying for everything all over again because they control the content.
This aspect is very concerning and is the main reason why I am not fond of DD as the future.
