    He is obviously biased by his business interests, but frankly he is ultimately correct. Once consoles are digital only, console players will lose the last form of control they have over anything they own.

      You don’t need CDs for that, and CDs don’t prevent that.

      As the other user pointed out, most CDs don’t even have a playable form of the game on them anymore. You usually need additional updates to actually play the game (or in the case of those steam installs, the CD doesn’t even have a bare minimum on it)

      Technically you can own a game as a digital install too, just they won’t deliver it that way.
