That’s not a physical edition then. This is the reason, I am not buying consoles anymore. Too many day-one patches.

Do you think maybe it’s because people are already receiving their physical edition prior to the release date?

Wut?
Show threadRhoeriMar 14
People have been getting the physical copy already, and as I understand it, the download along with patches is an unlock for the game.

48gb worth seems like a lot

That’s a fair point.

Day one patches have been the standard for over a decade, and they are as common on the PC as they are on consoles…

The majority of games from the last 15 years that you install with a disc will require a patch to run. You could keep your pc or console off network and play the original buggy version on the disc if you want…

There are no disc versions on PC anymore

So it’s a “Game Key Disc”?

Is it Denuvo?

Nothing new. The timeline for physical games being created is always several months prior to release using the final build at the time. The only confusing part seems to be that the game can be used offline until a new patch? If the system is not online at all how will it know a new patch exists? If the game checks in when booted then thats not offline either.

Holy shit, countrys with 3rd world internet, like germany, will be pissed.

A lot of people down voting you don’t know how comedically bad the internet situation in Germany is.

I understand, when I first learned of it I couldn’t believe it either.
