To be quite honest? I'm surprised physical releases lasted this long to begin with. Don't go mistaking my apathy for approval, though.

Same. I haven't bought a phisical game in a long time, but from what i understand is that as soon as you insert a disc, you have to download 20gigs of patches anyway, so the whole thing is just an extra step. A lot of games nowadays don't fit on a disc in the first place. The worst part about the whole debacle is that their argument is that pressing discs, printing booklets, cases, whatever cost money, which is true, but games are not cheaper now. Nono, we just want that money too, thankyouuu
