(The ACII DRM was far worse than what MS is going here, as the initial release the game would end your game immediately if you lost your internet connection. Without saving.)

What's the point of the 24 hours thing, then?
If it's just some short check-in to get things up and running again, who's going to bother with the 24 hours thing?

But they'll still have DRM. It is just that the nature of things will be different since the games are digital purchases.

Yes, and quite frankly, you may very well be wrong about that. That's what I'm calling presumptuous.
People have been saying for several years now that physical media is going to die, but just look at the anime industry, where anime is selling as well on DVDs/Blu-Rays as it ever has.
