If you follow this link, and then follow their source (Which is http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/xbox-one-analysis/, though they also confirm with the Verge, which lists its source as the Wired article), you'll only need to do this if you want to install it locally. It goes on to say:

cite: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/xbox-one-analysis/ But what if a second person simply wanted to put the disc in and play the game without installing – and without paying extra? In other words, what happens to our traditional concept of a “used game”? This is a question for which Microsoft did not yet have an answer, and is surely something that game buyers (as well as renters and lenders) will want to know. (Update: Microsoft called Wired after this story was originally published to say that the company did have a plan for used games, and that further details were forthcoming.)

So taking games around to other people's houses? Or used games? Undefined. Not evil, not announced. They might be doing something bad, but this is shit-stirring, and nothing more.

I take the lack of news to be bad news. If they had a customer-friendly plan for this, they would've announced that plan proudly. Being opaque about the details strongly implies that those details are not going to make good press for them.

You are, of course, entitled to your cynicism, but they've announced the existence of the console, the next version of Kinect, and what it looks like, and generated thirty stories on Hacker News alone, and taken over every console gaming site for the last day. Neither they nor Sony announce everything at once.
