《Assassin’s Creed》 and 《Final Fantasy》 Players Fear Ubisoft and Square Enix Were Not Included in the Xbox Disc-to-Digital License Test en (translated)

Player agency: how policy constrains it, how the industry shapes it, how narrative design realizes it.

Players noticed that titles from Ubisoft and Square Enix did not appear in the disc-to-digital licensing feature being tested on Xbox, prompting concerns about whether the physical games they already purchased will remain playable in a new environment. The feature originally concerns how players can turn the discs they own into digital licenses; when platforms and publishers jointly decide the scope of support, the sense of ownership that comes with collecting physical discs may become separate from whether those games can actually be played in the future.

Sakigarasu's Take

The test for converting physical discs into digital licenses touches on whether players can carry games they have already bought into the next environment. Players can still collect the discs, but if the platform and publisher each decide the licensing boundaries, the feeling of control that comes with collecting them will separate from their actual playability.
