Noticed I said Steam type of service.  Meaning the great dicounts you get on Steam, I would have like to see in the console space.   PC games are not tied to retail stores like console games and thus we see great deals on that side.  Once console games are not tied to retail stores then we will see the same.

As for what MS was going to do, I have no clue because they dropped it all before it was finalize.  You say they were going to put it behind a pay wall with azure but there is nothing supporting that theory since this is the last statement they made before dropping the whole online bit.

"Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers. Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games."

So I am not sure where you are getting your info, I just grab that one from this link  http://www.gizmag.com/xbox-one-always-online-used-games-block/27829/

Here is the difference between your link and mine.  Yours is from rumors, mind is directly stated by MS on the policy.  Also the articles the main link and the link to where Forbes are basing their article is from may while the one I linked is the official response in June.  Even so, the MCV article has quotes from MS stating the rumors are false.

Yes...that rumor caused Gamestops stock to drop.
