Internet checks did affect sim city, and with ubisoft gamers were able to convince them to do a uturn. The online check is only there because of the problem of physical discs being a license.

It only affects games in the matter - you can't play it, because servers were overload. Not gonna happen to MS (Why no Poland in launch countries, my guess is not good enought MS server infrastructure).

for people who are buying the Xbox with the mindset that they're going to buy disc based content only. Because they would likely expect to be able to play their discs without an internet connection. 

They are lying to yourself. MS clearly stated, you NEED internet connection to own Xbox One, if you dont, buy 360.


Ok Don ;)

But what i'm saying is that the average Joe is going to go out and buy an Xbox and expect it to work like the 360 don't you think. I can't see anywhere on the amazon pre order page or others that says the Xbox requires an internet connection. I'm not saying people don't have internet, a lot of people do. But the fact is that a lot of consumers don't know what will happen if say their internet drops out for a couple of days. 

Sure but going back to my question, do you think physical discs should be treated the same as digital download now? Do you think the Xbox should go digital only or is planning to go digital only. And why do you think that's a better option for gamers. Especially those that don't have a stable internet connection.
