Everything you listed is a current problem or something the consoles crowd(the most vocal) would have to deal with anyways. Most of the shit you listed Google "could" control. You thinking about this from a current age perspective. What kind of new policies would a streaming/digital age have? |
That is a very defeatist attitude. People complained during the XBOne's original reveal and Microsoft had to change its policies, so voicing our opinion is never a harmful thing, while just accepting stuff we don't like is a very easy way for it to become the norm.
And considering how much companies have been pushing digital over physical and yet have not delivered their promises without twisting them or outright ignoring them, it's pretty reasonable to want to slow down this supposed inevitable digital future. Google would not want to piss off big publisher by putting them on a tight leash, especially not now they are just starting, and considering the lack of supervision in the mobile market, a market Google has a rather sizeable control over, "could" becomes more and more vague.
