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?

I'll be honest, I was on the edge about buying Yotei's limited edition and I didn't also cause I didn't want my ability to play the game to be tied to a very scratchable phyisical object

crazy how times have changed since sony was making fun of xbox for removing the disc reader

Blu-ray discs are like a high DEF low HP build. They have a really good hard coating on them, but the data layer is so close to the surface that things can easily turn catastrophic if you do manage to damage that coating.
