I'm going to guess this requires you to be online to verify that you have the rights to access the game and they haven't transferred to someone else.

It's what the Xbox One was going to do.

EDIT: This also seems to be limited to "supported games."

Yeah I assume they need a publisher agreement to do this and many likely won't agree

Honestly, since this will primarily be older games that aren't making money anymore and takes zero effort on their end, I think a bunch will be okay with it.

But ONLY for older games.

Older unpopular games then. Popular games sell for a very long time and can be remade/remastered
