You do realize so many games require Day 1 patches these days. Some games are even coming with nothing on the disc ("Many modern games, especially on consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, come with minimal data on the disc and require a significant download upon insertion.")
Physical is dead. Even if you "owned" them, all you ever had was a license anyways and platforms like PlayStation and Xbox can control whether you're allowed to play it.
- al_borland 2y agoI haven’t run into this on the Switch. I’m still on v1.0.0 of Tears of the Kingdom and hit 100% without issues. I’d rather a game be delayed and finished, then get a half working game and hope for updates later. I find a lot wrong with that practice, and don’t like that it’s become so normalized and accepted. If that’s the norm on PS5 and Xbox now, and game discs are just symbolic, then I guess that seals the deal, I won’t be buying one.
