    Remember when this was like a big deal though during the XBone launch?

    And then they just…quietly introduced this new way of killing physical copies. And hardly anyone cares.

      Physical copies were dead in November of 2013.

      People just can’t accept that the moment a game needed a day 1 update of 40+GB that their physical game disk is just a product key you can hold.

      You haven’t been getting the full game on disk (and by extension, owning your full game) for literally a decade now. DRM isn’t even a question anymore, hasn’t been for a long time.

        I’ve known this for a long time. I just think making a fucking game case and it having a literal code inside is just worse.
