Craig GrannellPhysical copies of GTA 6 confirmed to be a code in a box. I wrote about Switch 2 Game-Key Cards a while back. Got shit for this from some quarters. But I stand by the angle that a code-in-a-box is the worst of all worlds – and that physical media should be yours forever. https://www.stuff.tv/features/nintendo-switch-2-game-key-cards-are-the-worst-of-all-worlds-physical-media-should-be-yours-forever/
Patrick H. Lauke@craiggrannell if I'm not mistaken, the first time this happened (to me at least) was with Half Life 2 for PC that was just a code for Steam (which I think Valve had launched literally in time for HL2's release, but I may be misremembering)
Michael Cook@patrick_h_lauke No I think you’re right. My memory is it was launched specifically for Half Life 2.
@foobarsoft i still have the nice metal "orange box" in my shelf to this day... good times
