There is no guarantee that there will be any usability.
That is the point in the discussion that everyone is missing.

I am trying remember what YouTube video or article made mention of this to me, and brought it to my attention. It might of been TotalBiscuit for what I recall. It has been nagging at myself at this point, so I am curious. It looks like the industry has very little interest in allowing content to be held onto and used. Backwards compatibility is gone (outside of Nintendo and PC). They want to keep reselling the same content, to be able to justify keeping studios going. And if they are going to end up going cloud with everything and having games that MUST connect to servers to play, then you will end up owning nothing at all and keep paying the tollkeeper. I have no idea what Microsoft is planning here. Sony looks like the idea is to pay a subscription fee and access old content via streaming from the cloud.
Any, I am curious if people do have any answers. Can people stop a minute and think about this here? Myself, I am a gamer who buys content to keep it (that is what I see about boardgame stuff. There is no X hours of gameplay here). And, as per your username also, I also see you have a retro angle to yourself to.

gotta agree with you. thinking MS will simply unlock the online checks when they inevidably move onto the next latest and greatest technology is waay too optomistic view of a company that is putting this DRM into their console in the first place.
honesty, i think the best you can hope for is xbone doesn't get any games that are still worth playing in 20 years..

X hours of gameplay, and PUSHING that, where you are supposed to LOVE the "movie like experience", and play through content you wear out, is what they would have.
