I hope this is only a temporary restriction due to launch and that they get backlash for that.
I recently ran into this exact thing. A lot of people talk about physical games while having next to no knowledge about the market (or none at all, really). The amount of incorrect information people use to prop up their anti-physical arguments is very weird and simple to see through too.
I'm glad people are pushing back on this publicly. There's no doubt in my mind that MS will continue to half-ass and then eventually stop doing physical releases entirely if left to their own devices.
Exactly this. But people with an agenda obviously omit this little fact.
I've found all sorts of anti-physical arguments coming from PC gamers. Had one person recently say scratched discs were a reason not to buy used. I pointed out that checking the disc before purchase or returning it if bought online are how that is handled. They didn't even know that because they don't buy physical - just felt some need to try to dismiss it as a valuable option for console gamers.

Me too, if it's continued, that's a huge impact on physical games going forward...

I love how people defend all digital and then complain about 10 year old games being launch price on the digital store - y’all helped make it a reality.

At least the ones who say "I'm too lazy to stand up just to change the disc" are honest.
