Unless the dreamt up endgame was to think everyone would just decide games on demand would be considered less of a hassle; more
convenient, and they would justrely heavily on direct purchaces. You know, since you have to be logged in all the time anyhow, and in the same way that you would be feisably paying them for the
convenience of watching TV on your Xbone without being assed to pick up your remote to do the same thing without two additional Microsoft money walls (whatever they'll call the new iteration of Live and the TV service itself).
Never underestimate corporate stupidity. I have a story about Pokemon cards that I use as the perfect parable of such stupidity. And those are the types of decisions suits make everyday based on a encapsulation of degrees and stats and projections instead of real-world data, understanding people, and even sometimes just plain common sense.
