I'm not trying too hard at anything, haha. It just makes a lot of sense to me that consoles are heading in this direction. They lose a shite ton of money to the second hand market.. If they go to war with used game retailers, they have a bunch of soldiers fighting alongside them in the form of development houses and publishers.

They can go to war with used game retailers and still not require and always online connection.

The console makers money they lose to 2nd hand game retailers is much more minuscule to them than the developer of the game itself, with them adding something like this onto their console it only ends up helping the game developer and not themselves, because if they have even 1 person in R&R that person will tell them that they will lose that money in people not buying their consoles to begin with. It makes 0 sense from AnYONE with a brain.
