I think it might still be nice for digital owners.well, again not for me.
It would waste a lot of bandwidth, but I could see downloading a title I was interested in that I couldn't afford at the time and pay for it later and play it right away.
I doubt I'd do it often, but the option is still kind of nice.
(especially if you're a low class worker like I used to be. )
not to be an dog here but i'm rich enough that budgeting isn't a thing i have to worry about. i'll never be in the situation of waiting to buy something until i have the cash. i'll just buy it when i want it. for me the remote download has been the thing that has far more utility. I buy the game while at work using the PC version of the store and the game is installed by the time i get home from work. i've used that a few times.
again,.. i'm fully supportive of this idea. just not a thing that give me any benefit.
