Reply to comment by Excellent_Routine589 in Moving forward, physical or digital? Especially seeing a lot of AAA games do not even come with full game on disc. How does this impact game collecting, if at all? by Batknight23

I mean mw2 is one of the most recent ones, halo is another that I can remember off hand. Granted both are FPS games, a lot of other companies will surely follow suit and discs will essentially be coasters. Buy how you want, it was only a question, and I didn’t give a concrete number. It was a mere observation.

My guess is that with Halo, they mostly wanted people on their MP component (which is why it was free to play) to generate the most money.

I don’t really see games outside of MP focused games doing it much and the only BIG example of an SP focused AAA doing it was Horizon Forbidden West if you got the collectors edition of it and Sony did get a massive amount of backlash on that.

Unless game devs start deliberately making nothing but 100gb+ games AND so long as people buy physical, there will be a market need for a physical release. This is personally why I do encourage to buy physical when people can if it’s right to ownership offsets it’s lack of convenience
