How is that different from literally any physical game ever
You buy the DLC digitally separately. The D stands for digital
And in most games, DLC comes on disc in a GOTY/Complete edition.
I wonder if the troglodyte tried this with the Xbox Series systems when they launched.
I've heard the whole game is not on the disc. So, another game from MS that I will skip.
It barely matters to me recently. Yeah it’s cool to have 1.0 on the disc and preferable but it rarely comes in use.
Normally you patch the game/install it and that’s it. Once it’s on your ssd, disc is the only authorisation. It will work offline forever.
So it’s still much better than pure digital.
But if some bad patch comes, there is no going back to 1.0. It’s THE ONLY downside. Game is still not locked to your account. Safe from banning or getting hacked.
And realistically, we will always have internet do download it…. As long as it’s not all games, it’s ok. Better this than no physical at all
You make great points, but MS has been pushing hard to get rid of physical. And we all know that their reasons are hardly in the best interests of customers - they want more control and to spend less to make more money. I'm not supporting that mindset or shitty practices by shitty companies. Don't take this as judgement of others, though. This is just my personal view and choice on this matter. I'm highlighting MS because they've historically never had the best interests of their customers in mind and they've been doing this with every physical release on PS5. Other companies do it too, yes, but their goals and history are not quite as bad as MS in this matter.
This sucks - wanted a full version
get it.
It's still better than buying it on psn.
Disc version, if it's anything like hogwarts legacy, is not tied to your account and works fully offline after "installing" once.
the disc is needed for game to work. You can sell it or buy cheaper. You get the box.
It's EXACTLY the same experience as fully disc game, except you don't have access to 1.0 verison which is just a nicve curiosity and something most people don't want to paly because of bugs anyway
The disc version is coming out FAR after the day 1 and other patches … this is pure laziness. There is no reason NOT to have a 100% playable version on the disc. The digital version launched in April, patched in June several times - yet, they could not put the majority of the game or any of the dlc on the disc (assuming production time putting printing at early August) - this is simply a control over ownership play by MS.
Accepting this behavior from corporations sends them a signal that people will accept lesser products.

Physical fraudery from MS/Bethesda once again, only the sewers are on the disc.
