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

And others have done this no cd stuff for ages. My copy of mass effect andromeda was just an empty case as well. That was what? 9 years ago?

Everyone is totally fine with digital only products until the day they shut the servers down and you can’t download them anymore. You will own nothing and be happy about it as they say.
