The Future in Gaming?

What do you believe the future (A.K.A Next few decades) will be like?

Do you believe Internet will be actually World-Wide soon?

Do you believe would people accept the original Xbox One policies a few years from now?

What do you want in the future

Also (even though most of you guys are PC's gamers), will you be pissed once Disc's are not used anymore?

I ask all this because I saw a few post on this article http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Stupid-Fanboys-Petition-Microsoft-Bring-Back-Xbox-One-DRM-57382.html that brought up the question.

"What Microsoft was doing is inevitable. Disc based gaming will eventually go away and once we have moved all-digital DRM won't matter because you'll be married to content like it or not.

It's the future and the only reason it isn't happening now is because Sony jettisoned it to win the early sales war... that they had to win because the company isn't exactly on solid ground. It's not because Sony gives a crap about the consumer, its only self-preservation. That's a concept that fanboys and kids don't embrace very easily though." ~Person 1

"If disc-based gaming goes away, I'm done with gaming.
I'm already thinking about not buying PC games anymore, because I'm tired of being married to the content I buy on disc.
But I fear that you may be right, and that this may be inevitable."~ Person 2

"You won't need to worry about that for years on end. Like I said, loads of people around the world don't have access to the internet but obviously can still buy consoles and stuff. Even 20-30 years from now people STILL won't have internet. No one apart from MS would ignore that many potential consumers.

Internet will be available world wide, at current cable speeds, over the air, for free, in a decade. Disc sales will be < digital sales in 2 years. Fighting for and preserving the old system at the cost of losing the bargaining position for future digital consumer rights is truly idiotic. We should be arguing with Microsoft that they aren't giving us enough sharing and sale ability for the cost of DRM as opposed to running to Sony who slashed all their plans to opportunistically take advantage of a better early market position than they had the first time. The entirety of the gaming world failed miserably in their ability to think rationally about the future and it will bite us all in the a$$." ~Person 3

"The premier way people play games is disc based. Sony seems to understand that. Remember? Andrew House said 'consumers want to own their game.' I think you and other people will be surprised about how long disc based games stay around. Like I said, people around the world don't have internet. Do you really think any company apart from Microsoft would ignore a huge chunk of the world as consumers? And listen Sony don't have any sentimental connection to me, but they seem to understand that if you show care for the consumer the money WILL come. Don't defend MS"~ Person 3
