Honestly, I don't think having things the way they are today is worth losing this feature.
I have six or seven really close friends all over the country who all have Xboxes and similar taste in games. This feature was one of the biggest selling points, and the innovation MS was creating with their cloud game libraries is dead now because consumers didn't have vision.
Obviously the best approach is a hybrid, but they're clearly not ready for that. I liked the proposal of keeping everything the same as was originally announced and having a disc-based fallback in case your connection did go out, but I guess it wasn't feasible.
This is a loss for people who like innovation. The industry will stay stagnant for another generation.
We'll probably miss out on Steam-style sales now, too.
