It's just a shift, and gaming is becoming more like everything else.
You get access to a virtual world, Kinde's - you own a license for the book - World of Warcraft - always online - and you have to wait in a cue, itunes - you own the license to the music. But people are freaking out because they want to hate Microsoft.
The new Xbox One is an all digital machine in reality. Yes, it's a shift from the game disk to your loginID. And just like itunes and the others, in a few years everyone will be used to it. A few years ago DJ's and friends had to carry everything to bring music around - it was heavy, bulky and would break. Now it's all digital and people love it.
It will be the same in a few years with gaming and people talk about how great it is not to have to carry around all those disk yet still have access to their entire library.
