This..

It's better the way they do it now, so be patient and appreciate the method.

You don't have to. Set your console as the home console and go offline. The game will then install from the disc, and not apply any patches or updates that came out after the disc was made.

Problem solved.

This is true but not relevant if he's only installing games from a disc.

Also, gamepass and digital games will work offline provided your console is set to the home console and you aren't game sharing.

Yes but it takes much less time.

The hd is faster than the disc drive, you wouldn't want the game spinning up and winding down the disc drive every few seconds while playing. This is why it's done this way. The disc is used as a liscence check once the game is installed.

Aren’t you like a business insider? You should be telling us.

I’m no groundhog expert, but it’s just a trick to fill up your HD’s quickly so you will likely upgrade.

Call me paranoid but it’s a huge reason they release really shit games (most of the time) free twice a month + 1 Xbox 360 for gold members as well, filling your HD with a bunch of garbage, but “it’s free” so you don’t wanna delete it.

/end rant
