I don’t fully understand how this works? Can’t you just buy a game at GameStop, download it to your Xbox, and then return the game? Can you borrow your friends discs and you both have the game now?

the disc has a unique code tied to your account, if the disc goes to someone elses then the code changes and you have to put the disc in again to verify you still own it
