Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective.

So, I assume you're making the point that, instead of buying games I should just get a library card and borrow them for free?

Well for one, that's not a service all libraries offer, but even if they did, you're raising it in response to a discussion about physical media being phased out.

How is "just get a library card" gonna solve the problem when the libraries won't have a disc for me to borrow?

Or you might just be making the point that games are dumb and we should just read books. Hard to tell.

A chart of how Xbox Games Studios became the largest publisher in the gaming space.

Eh, to be honest the rumours of studio closures where what made me want to get a sense of how big Xbox was and how it got there.

When you look at it like this, you kinda see how things got so bloated. It's hard to imagine MS actually imagining they could keep all those plates spinning at once.

I'm just glad studios are going independent or being sold, rather than shut down outright.
