In many ways, it does suck. I guess Microsoft was just too ahead of it's time with their vision.
One of the great things about the X1 that will take a turn for the worse as a direct result of this reversal, is the instant game switching. Before, you could have installed a game to the HDD and play directly from there. Without the disc. This meant that you could have commanded the console to go from game to game instantly. Now, it will require the disc in the tray, pretty much sabotaging that feature. Of course, I presume the feature won't be totally gone provided you buy the games digitally from XBL, in which case the disc won't be required. But even so, it will no longer be a seamless, across the board experience.
