I don't see Microsoft pulling a bait and switch as put forward in the article where retroactively physical disc games suddenly have digital DRM put upon them. However there is nothing asked or stated that Microsoft couldn't eliminate all physical discs at some point in the future for all games...

But companies with a whole lot to lose are asking / demanding software companies make their product cloud based before they are willing to buy it. No sales weasels needed.

Well that and convince all of the citizens and corporations to put all of their personal / proprietary data on some unknown unsecure servers that are being scanned by the company holding the data and being hacked by everyone else. I do not understand anyone wanting to use "the cloud"...
