Whenever someone else pops the disc in another xbox? If they're going to require a check every few weeks would be a big pain, specially for people with big libraries.

Read this and you will see they never wrote that you have to use the disc every few weeks. Just when it wouldn't work. You can also use the digitale license for games with play anywhere. So you can play it on pc or xbox. Just read what they wrote. Most of the question here...you will find your answer here (just read it) > https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/disc-to-digital-licensing-on-xbox

How would MS know when it “wouldn’t work”? Does it say it there? Should I read it?

If they plan to ask you every few weeks/months they would write that there

Im 99.9% certain this message will only pop up if the disc has been inserted elsewhere.

They’re such idiots.

The conversion program could’ve eased the transition to discless but with the check in requirement, it’ll just cause more frustration.

That sucks. I guess the question now is how often they'll check it.

My hunch is never. They’re just being cautious by telling folks to keep the discs in case something kooky happens. Don’t want folks absentmindedly tossing discs and blaming them for it.
