This means you can't pass the game around to your friends or sell it afterwards, which completely ruins the purpose of physical media imo. I mostly play PC these days so this doesn't affect me, but it's a disappointing direction for console games. At least they could've used an empty disc that has proof of ownership.
yeah that's that part that sounds almost like fraud
like wtf this sounds like they are trying to sell this edition for a marked up price to ppl who thought they'd buy a physical disk. That's fraud 101: deceiving customers. On the list of scummy things it's somewhere between macrotransactions and Nigerian prince.
