So again, this freedom thing you bring up seems a lot more limiting now.

Do disk based games sync their setting and saves in the cloud?

When I go to my friends place with a disk based copy of Halo 5, does his console know what my controller settings are?

 

I don't want to argue with you anymore disolitude but doesn't the xbox360 already have this with cloud saves?

I have 2 consoles. One in my man-cave and one in my family room and regularly swap between them and all my game saves are taken care of. I'm not sure about settings but I think it's the same.

Xbox 360 does have synced saves and settings if you use cloud storage(500 mb of cloud storage). But this is not how steam and PCs work which is a lot closer to how Xbox One will work. Everything is automated on the Pc and you don't have to worry about selecting storage.

Up until this DRM change today there was absolutely no reason for microsoft to implement or even consider cloud saves and settings in seperate storage outside of the game. The disc based game no longer syncs with your Xbox live online account so they need to implement game saves and settings that can be stored on the cloud seperatly from the game while digital ones are stored with the game. Maybe they thought of that...who knows.
