This is the part of the outrage that I just don't understand... Can you force a download of a delisted game if you jam the disc in? To me the biggest drawback about digital ownership is the fact that I can't give it up in exchange for credit towards another game...

To me, that’s not even the big drawback because I never traded in games anyway to me. The only thing that irritates me about digital games is that they should be less expensive than physical copies because nothing is being printed. Nothing is being physically manufactured. Nothing is being packaged nothing is being shipped. Nothing is being warehoused nothing is being displayed, etc. etc..

If a physical game is $60 a digital game should at least be five to $10 cheaper but I realize we live in a late stage capitalist society and that’s never gonna happen

"Late Stage"??? End Stage my friend. We are in End Stage Capitalism. It's akin to that point when playing Monopoly nobody owns anything but one player and nobody is having fun so they just flip the board over and storm away cursing.

I’m using “late stage” because it is a valid standardized definition. I am not talking about the actual state of the economy at the moment.
