If you need the game disc to be in the dvd-drive to play the games you have downloaded on your harddrive I see no benefits and it seems really stupid. Yeah the driver dont need to spin and it/dvd lives longer...wow

 

another one who's never bought an original game for PC...viva emule?

Buy and emulate.

 

i know alcohol, demon tool etc etc...but nevertheless it implies a little bit of effort that's out of reach for the average joe (and disc emulation isn't always successful: see issues related to virtual IDE vs virtual SCSI): vast majority of gamers (better the vast majority of gamers that buy original games) are well used to insert the disc into their DVD player and click on the "start game" button that pops up (magic of autorun: made for the average joe).
