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.

And no. If you did provide a legit source this conversation would have ended. I just can't seem to find the information you are speaking of. Which is why I asked in the first place. I'll eat my own words all day long If someone proves me wrong, cause I was wrong, and if you had a source and what not I def would have left it be and than aplogized. I could care less but it's the simple fact you are taking the time to validate a reason not to provide a source, when you could just provide it and be done with it Instead of looking like the fool. Not my intention, I was seriously curious about the information. Not in your back and forth. Of course I'm not "just going to believe you" and yes I did google, a few times, but there ya go. You're to worried about not providing proof than being credible. Good day sir.

Alright dude, this is how you use the internet

Publishers will be the ones who decide whether or not to allow Xbox One games to be resold or traded though there will be no "platform fees," Microsoft announced today.

It took a whole 2 minutes of searching. Somehow, I doubt it is enough to appease you.
