It's a good idea to provide backwards compatibility (I don't know how you would prove you own the game) if this is impossible otherwise.
Apart from that, I like my physical copies, so I hope this doesn't take off. |
To late for the current gen, but could always use one time registration product codes.
Of course then again, someone might just buy the game, use the registration code for the streaming version and sell the disc version.
Could always be used for "game renting" as well to try and cut into used games market.
Or just do all streaming to get rid of that, and piracy. Go the full Diablo 3 route.

I'd say they'd just use the same check as Microsoft does when you install games to the hard drive i.e. you must have the game disc in the tray/slot.

doubtful, it would defeat the point. ...especially if they get this streaming to TVs where there is not disc drive.
sony just bought this tech -- if obviously won't be put to use much if at all for the ps3. for that case BC for ps3 games it probably wouldn't be a big deal if someone sells their disc after the fact as the software doesn't have much value 10 years later. for ps4 games they could be more sophisicaed about it.
