Back in 2012 I was saying that the next gen console gaming platforms were going to be digital Download only games, because it gets rid of people paying $10 a month and getting unlimited multi-million dollar budget games at their door. Then they complain that online passes, DLC, and season passes are a form of extortion, when in reality, those are just things to try and compensate some form of money from those people who don't give publishers any money.
Making games download only not only is more cost effective, it allows the publisher to get 50% more per typical sale, per unit as before when people could just pirate, resell, or rent.
Nobody took my words seriously, nobody cared, because everybody expected next gen to still be on disc. Now that it's finally come to fruition, everyone seemed to become blind sided by the DRM protection ware that follows. Of course Xbox One needs DRM, PS4 has DRM too. The people who are most upset by DRM are game pirates, or people with horrible internet connections.
Either way, if a person in this day and age can't afford a basic $35 per month internet connection, there is no way in hell they'd have the money to buy a $400 or $500 piece of hard ware gaming console. Happy weekend to everyone!

I do like the fact that there's no worries about scuffed up or broken disks. I'm on my 3rd copy of scv and 3rd copy of sc4 Lol. So would've saved me alittle cash there.

Nothing beats physical copies of items like music, books, movies, and games.
Then again I'm probably just a dinosaur.

Has MS said anything at all about lowering game prices? I'm more interested in your proof.
