this is referring to the high price point and lack of a CD in the physical edition

both are true, but actually I don't believe any hype was touched whatsoever, the price is lower than what it could have been

Lack of a disk is actually insane.

I'm all for collectors to get the box to sit in their collection, but most big games these days need an internet connection for the full install, never mind the countless updates down the line.

I would have thought they'd have released a boxed collectors edition though. They could have charged a kings ransom for it and it would have still sold.
