No, MS was being anti-consumer by trying to force 24 hour check-ins, always online, highly restrictive DRM (not being able to play, trade in or sell any used games or let a friend borrow any games.) onto gamers. They were trying to push gamers into just buying just digital games eventually. Fuck that.
I like options. The option to buy a game digitally or on a disc from a retail store. I like the option of being able to do whatever I want (for the most part) with the game after I bought it. I want the option to play any old game I want when I want. I don't want to have to rebuy the game. I don't care for any one size fits all approach. Physical games are actually much cheaper than digital copies because the prices scale to the real world and you can trade in games for it.
Whoever wrote that article doesn't have a clue about gaming. He's bitching about putting a disc into a console.
