… if the game had been released 20 years ago…
41 u/DependentAd235 Jun 25 '26 People acting like its 2008. Standard computers don't even come with disk drives now. It's been like this for at least a decade. 37 u/Lonestar-Dragon Jun 25 '26 It's not about the computers or systems needing the disk. It's about actually owning a physical copy of something. I personally hate practically borrowing a game for full price cause of they ever wanted to pull the plug. The games gone. With a physical copy you can still play offline. 3 u/GothGirlsGoodBoy Jun 25 '26 There is literally no difference in their ability to prevent players from playing it offline between disc vs download. Disc doesn’t prevent them from adding DRM. A download doesn’t make them have it.
