Sometine in the next year i plan on building a new computer to game on. I prefer to own a physical copy of my games. But love the idea of being able to play games on my computer and xbox. Why cant they include a digital code with the physical copys of xbox one games?
XB1 games come on Blu-Ray discs, not everyone owns portable Blu-Ray player.
By buying Digital, you give yourself the option to install on both a PC and Xbox, at the same time.
You will always be able to play these Play Anywhere games on your XB1.
You may not always have system requirements to run a Play Anywhere game on your PC, but some are more forgiving than others. And if you upgrade down the line, you can then play them on both platforms instead of 1.
You need to have an online connection so that you can share your saves between systems so that you can, play anywhere.
Well first of all what he said. Second of all wouldn’t that be like selling two copies of a game in one? So I don’t see how it would work.

They sell dvd’s/blu rays with digital codes. Thats like selling 2 copies of a movie in one.
With the play anywhere the way it is now one person could be playing on xbox and a friend somewhere else could play on pc under the same account. People can still cheat the system.

No they can’t, there are processes in place that don’t allow this to happen. You can only be signed in from one location at a time. More details in the Play Anywhere FAQ’s, just scroll down a little: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere

I am aware that you can only be signed in on one location at a time. But not everyone plays at the same time. I do know of people that sign in on other peoples accounts.

Well ya there us also game share. And that’s even encouraged by Microsoft. Like now I’m getting about $60 worth of games from my friend for free.
EDIT: but things are different with Xbox games and movies. Anyone (with what you are saying) could buy a game use one copy and resell the other. It would be a lot more direct way of ripping Microsoft off.
