The disc at this stage is somewhat symbolic, its the line that sand against the anti consumer practices being pushed by the platforms.

We have trusted them and during that they have:

And now they are getting pretty bold of what they want.

You will have to verify your identity
The products you 'bought' can be taken away from you at the platforms discretion
You will have to be online to play the products you purchased...and you will need to pay for that service.
They can charge what they want for the games and there is no competition to weaken prices
You will pay more for your device with less features

They are testing the tolerance with this. This is not about the physical disc. Its about saying enough!
