My bro has COD3 and NBA2k16 and they kinda ate up 100GB between them and he still got AC: Black Flag and AC: Unity to download (those came free with the unit) |
Nope, this was a request from developers. With the Xbox 360 games were required to be able to run from the DVD. While they did allow certain exceptions later on, the developers complained that this requirement held back some of the things they wanted to do as it was limited to the DVD9 read speed. So for the Xbox One they said all games are completly installed on the hard drive.
So the disk itself is just DRM. It doesn't to anything, which is why they wanted to let you install games and run them from your gamertag which is how they originally showed at the first showing of the Xbox One.
But you can always delete any digital game and redownloaded it later for free as many times as you want.
