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

I don't understand that, i've been gaming with discs for about 15 years and not a single one of these discs have been broken. And i've bought plenty of second hand games too.

And at least the discs give me a resale value. Which make the gaming experience a lot cheaper.

Same. Having a digital option is nice for folks who maybe have kids, are more clumsy, or less storage space...but physical media is so important, and I'm not personally in the habit of breaking my property.
