    Like most people who aren’t up in arms about this TechnicallyTee hasn’t actually given it a seconds worth of thought. “Well I don’t play games on disc” it’s such a surface level retort. If you’re not going to spend 10 seconds actually thinking about it, why have you bothered to make a comment?

      “Well I don’t have anything I think I need to hide, so privacy doesn’t matter!”

      Same vibe.

      Any time I see this “I don’t understand what the problem is” what I hear is “I’m incapable of putting myself in the minds of others”.

        TBF. we’re training the younger generations to accept it. They’re born and raised not owning anything.

    Nowadays some physical media carries only a license on them, not even the media itself.

      This is something I don’t think should be legal under false advertising laws as well.

      When fortnite was super popular, they would release “physical” releases of their cosmetics dlcs. We would have grandmas coming in wanting to get little timmy the game they wanted, and would choose the 40$ DLC thinking it was an actual game when in reality it was a plastic case with a download code in it. We would explain “hey btw just incase you didn’t know, this isn’t actually a game, its 40$ for some skins on a free to play game that they already have”

      9/10 customers would be like “Wait what really? thats so shitty thank you for informing me” and would choose another game from the selection.

      It’s blatant false advertising and super deceptive marketing tactics. A physical release should not be a code to use a license. It should be the actual game.
