I don't deny that all digital will be the way of the future. I already buy my PC and 3DS games all digital, that's not the issue.
The issue with X1 is what happens in the future. Because unlike the all digital services I use, which allow me to retain some form of offline gameplay, the same can't be said for the X1 all digital service.
Not saying that MS doesn't have the ability, in the future, to drop the verifications and to allow the digital copies to be played offline once they migrate their servers or shut them down, but from what we know now, that's not the case.
I think that's a pretty simple thing to ask, isn't it?.
