Congrats to everyone who fought this bull.

We saved the industry. As an article stated an industry that requires DRM is a completly flawed industry.

You are falsely confusing the "always on" DRM Xbox One had with what EA is talking about here. They are talking about game passes, which is what they said they will remove before e3.

And no one saved anything. This change in the industry just got postponed until the majority is comfortable with digital. Gamestop will thrive for another decade so thats a plus for you right...

If the future is indeed all digital, if it is indeed an inevitability, then would it really have been worth it to potentially damage the Xbox brand in a big way by attempting to hasten an inevitable process?

Because people don't understand the benefits and aren't ready for change they don't understand.  

Within 5 years you will have the same Call of Duty games hitting Apple TV, gazillion android devices, Xbox One and PS4 and god knows what else. All of them will be bombarding the users digitally and offering awesome perks if you buy digitally and for less money too because they don't have to deal with retail at all. Xbox and PS consoles will try to maintain the "premium gaming platform" as long as possible to justify higher price, but people aren't stupid...
