If discs are going away, this at least makes it more tolerable.

…the programme still allows for used game sales, game borrowing and so on. If you buy a disc, convert it to digital, then sell it on, whoever inserts it next into their Xbox console will get the entitlement for their account and remove it from yours…

The more likely scenario is: What happens if Microsoft also has no discs next generation?
