![]() ![]() For whatever reason, it seems that publishers, either by choice or due to requirements by Sony/Microsoft, default to 66GB UHD discs for PS5/Xbox whatever series, even for very small games that wouldn't even come close to filling up a 25GB standard Blu-ray. They are not Blu-rays, but rather Ultra HD Blu-rays (different format/specs), which come in double-layer (66GB) and triple-layer (100GB) varieties, while standard Blu-rays come in single layer (25GB) and double layer (50GB) varieties. When a 50GB double-sided blueray disc (100GB) isn't enough to house the whole game, what hope is there for physical collectors on the next generation of consoles? They rely on people's honesty, and it works for them. And install it on 10101001010101010(infinite) number of devices with ZERO server checks. When you buy the game you can store the installation file on any piece of physical media forever. ![]() The only digital front for PC games that allows absolute freedom is Good Old Games (GOG). ![]() Once the servers shut down for any reason you can't authenticate your "fake copy" and it will be unplayable.Įxample for that is Diablo 2 Resurrected, once in a while I have to connect to their servers or I can't play my offline characters at all! ![]() One more thing, you are not collecting games, you are collecting digital licenses, that means you are given permission to play those games. At least spend couple more cents and put the whole base game by using a second disc like The Last of Us Part II or Red Dead Redemption II. Why even produce plastic if it is not even usable without internet connection? For marketing in the physical stores? That is pathetic. This power will quickly turn into more greed because of no refund policy like the eShop. Every gamer will be required to get a copy from the store. They will screw over its users as they please. However, if digital is the only option, then there will not be any second hand market and the gaming industry will have an ugly monopoly on that. Me for example, I want just to have a playable game on the physical media otherwise why even bother with it? If no physical is available, then digital is fine. "Besides you can still collect games via digital why does it have to physical to be a collection?" ![]()
