Wait a sec... (Gaming)

This is no longer a concern though with modern games: with modern games you're not even reliant on the bits from the disc, it's just a check to make sure you can download the game from the servers.

Destiny is a great example of a game where if you bought it used later your experience would be drastically different. As per your argument above, that will only be more prevalent going forward.

I literally cannot have the same story campaign experience now that I did on September 8th. Questification, Dinklebot, exotic balance changes, etc.

And interestingly enough that is a big part of the reason WHY publishers and developers LOVE games like Destiny, because it severely discourages you from waiting to pick it up later. It's a part (whether intentional by Bungie or not) of their attempt to curb used sales.
