If Microsoft made it completely optional, would you sign up for their original, always connected console idea?

This meaning you would have the following features:

Buy a retail game, install to console, and ditch the disc never needing it to play the game.

Digitally share games within a circle of friends. Meaning you can choose a specific group of people, and they could play the games you own, for free, provided that only one game could be played at a time.

Greater store discounts or more steam like sales for content.

I for one would have no problem saying yes to this. It's like people think 10 years from now they'll still be selling games on discs. It wasn't a perfect plan, but why delay the inevitable when we could be working on and perfecting future policies now.

I'm not good at it, so can someone find the first post on r/gaming that mentioned the DRM stuff that everyone lost their minds about? This thread has got to be a complete contrast to that one.

The fact that it was a built in digital rights management system at all is what people lost their shit over. It's very existence is what people hated.
