The day this happens is the day I stop buying new hardware/software, no matter who does it. I'll just stick to the first 7 or 8 generations of consoles and handhelds.
Besides the fact that I like to see and hold my purchases, I don't trust these kinds of practices. What ensurance do I have that I can keep playing the games I bought, a decade down the line? I still play most of my old games, played Mega Man 2 just this morning, I'd like to be able to keep doing that. I'd like to still be able to play a good game from 2015 when it's 2035, like I do a 1991 game in 2013. Basically, if this happens, we'd be on a leash.
EDIT: That last sentence has a bit of a dramatic flair to it but anyways
