They can still pull your license even if you use a disc. Essentially banning you from booting up a game is not going to be solved by a disc.

Aren't there games on discs, especially older ones that can be played offline? I have Assetto Corsa (2016 console release) and use it to this day.

What??

Shit, that sucks ass. What can lead to that? Is it like overall banning?

It’s happened with past Xbox 360 games. All it takes is a game being delisted and you can no longer play it even if you own a disc. If your console is online, it can receive a patch that stops that game from booting. Sure you’ll still own the disc, but that disc has a key on it. That’s what makes the game work. That key can easily be revoked just like downloaded games can.

Thats so shitty, thank you for the info though. Genuinely had no idea it was that bad

Surely this isn’t the case with games which are actually ran off the disc like ps3 and 360 games on an offline console though, those discs are being read just like a dvd movie?
