I am glad that they are doing this. And by doing this dependency on the 3rd party stores is also reduced. You get everything in your microsoft account or outlook account. Something I feel should have been done long time back. They just need better encrypted database and not like Nintendo had in leaks few weeks back.

Nice as it is, I don't know, I always enjoyed entering a code.

I think they're just trying to keep it all digital now.
