the system donks in general though
it pretty much means that the physical format is largely useless other than to speed up the time it takes to install the game
in the future you won't be able to actually play the game, when it is older, because the authentication will no longer be active
which makes all of the systems effectively USELESS after support for them is removed
(until somebody spoofs an authenticator and renders THIS ENTIRE CHARADE POINTLESS)
sure, the wii's online support being disabled effectively renders the downloadables inaccessible from the wii, but at least it ALLOWS ME TO PLAY GAMES THAT I HAVE JUST INSERTED INTO IT
overall, it's like taking the stupidest parts of a console, and steam, and mashes them into a thing that has no sustainability and only serves to benefit the distributor, who will not even lower the prices to compensate
