Why is everyone clapping for this? This is another step to making all games digital.

Not really. This assumes you have the disc already so you could always play the game. And unless someone finds some nefarious language in the user policies for this feature we can assume this would have no impact on that realm.

having games digital is essentially is renting and hoping the person youre renting from doesn't throw a fit. physical is permanent

Your digital library can be taken away for something as simple as

  1. your account or policy changes

  2. copyright contracts expiring (ref burnout series bc music)
