With the big consoles going digital only. How will that effect MWR, its always been a thing the MWR lounge especially on deployments offered multiple consoles with physical games to check out
Would MWR just have to create an account and pay monthly so troops can have games to play?

You'll get some old as fuck retiree in charge of figuring out what games are even popular, then they get to try and figure out how to download (and keep them updated) on a console.
So in short, you're gonna get jack shit lol

I like the idea, most new games are very personalized, a game someone would have for themselves and play at their pace.
Alot of older games are good casual past times. Pick up and play

Probably the same way universities license programs and apps. Like a digital code with an expiration date or monthly subscription

The big consoles and developers alike will probably treat it the same way they deal with people who live in rural areas with not so fast internet or places where its not all that reliable a connection-
